Postol's size and movement might get him a decision over Crawford.
Postol should move up to welterweight where Thurman will give him trouble.
I don't think you want Postol fighting Thurman. He'd jab him to death until Thurman got frustrated and unleashed, and we'd see a repeat of what happened tonight. Thurman needs to stick with slower opponents who don't have great footwork. Postal does not play to his strengths.
It is 50/50, I think Crawford has faster hands and more power but I think Postal is the more consistent guy in the ring with his effort.
I agree, though I think Crawford relies on guys to be predictable to a degree. Postol has fantastic footwork (not flashy but incredibly efficient and effective) and would frustrate Crawford by not planting his feet, not falling into traps or staying in range for counters. I could see Viktor racking up rounds while Crawford continually adjusts and readjusts. The x factor is that we haven't seen enough of Crawford to know how good or versatile he really is. Then again, the same could be said for Postol.
No way of knowing, Postol hasn't faced anyone who's brought those kind of skills, and the same could be said about Crawford. It's a much needed fight because whoever comes out on top, or actually depending in the fashion that either of them win, you could already say they're the real deal.
I think Postol edges a close decision. I think he'll rack up the early rounds because Crawford likes to feel his opponent out. Great fight though, would love to see it. I'd be rooting for Crawford to pull it off.
Terrence Crawford wins but he has to work on his defense, he might go down against postol but ultimately hell get a late stoppage or close but clear win on points.
Postol still carries his left too low and Crawford looked devastating against Dulorme so il stick with Crawford.
I hope Crawford, I don't have any intention to watch Postol's boring,mini Wlad ass as a champion too long.
Actually, war Imam and war anybody who is more entertaining than mini Wlad
well they keep saying it was a great performance so what's going on here? were there 2 matthysse-postol fights tonight? did i miss the good one and get the one with all the clinching? aww sh-it i hate when that happens. every time i watch wlad i get the sh-it one
Postols the right skin color.
The KO knocked out the viewers too. When they woke up again, they couldn't remember anything that happened before the knockout.

50/50
Postol, Size, Patients and overall Skills is going to make him difficult for a lot of guys to beat. You will have to beat him with Skills. Matthysse I knew he was in trouble by the 4th Round when he looked so impatient and extremely frustrated. He wanted to Brawl and Slug and Postol never gave it to. Every time he tried to get inside Postol frustrated him by Clinching to the point in which Matthysse was purposely hitting him in the back of the head. Postol literally broke him Mentally
That's a great fight. For those saying Crawford easily beats him, he might, but Postol also isn't an undersized opponent like a lot of Crawfords opponents have been. He's a legitimate 140 lber and Crawford hasn't faced those yet. He's faced smaller 135 lbers.
This will be a tough test for both.
