Gamboa at that particular time was viewed as vulnerable. And he moved up in weight. I don’t remember him being favored here. But I do remember Postol being hyped to the moon when he beat Matthysse. He was forgotten instantly after losing to Crawford.
Postol was a good win. But yeah, hard to think he is going to be 37 and somehow ranked top 3 P4P with that resume....
Because this is modern boxing. Where a P4P list across an entire sport with each of the 18 divisions containing 30-40 unique names in their top "10" rankings spots 6ish-10 are basically participation trophies. (thus far at least)
