    He is an up and comer who has been matched brilliantly so far stepping up in level as he goes. I honestly think he is the real deal.

    Taylor will beat Postol better than Crawford did and he won’t have to constantly run to do it ;)

    Crawford "ran" so much that he knocked down Postol for the first TWO times in his pro career. And by the way, it is called boxing NOT stand in front of me so I can hit you. 33 fights 33 wins so Crawford has no problem with any style he has fought. Even "runners."

    Maybe because another british job is on the cards?
    Postol might be in need of $$$ after having his hopes dashed by Crawford.
    But even then, i don't believe he will get stopped: he's a very hard nut to crack.

    "British job".

    Adelaide Byrd would've been banned from judging in the UK following any card of hers.


    British cards are just as biased as any 'hometown card'.....But they very rarely, if ever, completely rob a fighter, ask Jorge Linares.

    What i meant by British job is the visiting fighters coming in unmotivated, unprepared and thus under performing way under their normal abilities.

    Postol was nearly stopped in his last fight. And Crawford could have taken him out had he not ran like a ***** in the final rounds.
    It was so odd and infuriating. Crawford was completely outclassing Postol and constantly hurting him, jet Crawford chose to back off.

    Linares is a GBP fighter and obviously ODLH owns Ring. Not sure why everyone shits on Linares though. The guy is quality even if he does have a few big flaws.

    Yeah I know and I did mention that he was a GBP fighter in a previous post regarding his ranking. However, I do think his ranking is fair.

    Yet another over-the-top opinion by Dwyer: Crawford couldn't come close to stop Postol, but Taylor will?

    I'm not saying he won't, but if the odds are right, a distance fight would be much more realist. Postol isn't a banged-up veteran with 6 losses.

    Postol was dropped by a bum in his last fight and looked garbage apparently. The super talented and relentless TTT looks likely to be the first to stop Postol just like he was the first to stop Vazquez.

    But this "post Crawford" Postol is way different now... Unfortunately, he does look like a banged up veteran... :frown:

    Yes, he got caught, but the guy he was facing was a difficult, undefeated lefty with power in both hands: he would give any titlist a run for their money and even beat a few.

    And even then, Postol came back and shook him good.

    Maybe Postol's chin is gone, maybe he just underestimated the guy; but an in-shape Postol is a nightmare for any young lion.
