Why is nobody talking about Crawford Postol?

Uhhh Crawford gets hit.....hard....a lot. He's not a slick boxer. That's why the fight is on PPV so soon. To soon IMO. Both fighters aren't well known enough in the main stream.

Why is nobody talking about Crawford Postol? I don't know bro. The usual suspects are supposed to be populating these Crawford threads, the hit and not get hit crowd, the ones who call themselves real boxing fans. I see them, instead, in the usual places, May/Pac and Golovkin threads.

Fake boxing fan spotted. I bet you thought Thurman/Porter was worth PPV? If the 2 best at 140 fighting for supremacy in the division isn't good enough for you then go watch another sport. a couple points: -Thurman vs Porter wasn't PPV, so I didn't have to make that decision. -The actual fight card (Thurman-Porter and Mares-Cuellar when originally announced, but even the replacement fight worked out) for Thurman-Porter looks to be better than the Crawford-Postol fight card. -The Crawford PPV is a one-fight show, with a headlining fight that isn't big enough to get away with that, namewise or stylistically. Have fun wasting your $50 on a fight that obviously isn't worth the PPV price; if anything, I'll check a pbp of the fight, hope to catch a nice gif on the fight, and if it's worth the time, maybe catch the fight on Youtube in a week or so. lol

I'm excited for it. One of the rare cases of the best fighting the best. Still it shouldn't be PPV. Neither one of them has the fan base to pull it off.

remembered for years....postol is a clincher. its going to be a terrible fight. Agreed. Postol has one of the least entertaining styles in the sport today.

Its a good fight that needed to be made and I'm glad it was but I don't think it will be as entertaining as everybody would like. I just think their styles together will make for an ugly fight. Oh, and I don't think it should be a PPV.

I'm reasonably excited for this one, more because of what it means for the division rather than the style match up. Both guys can be a bit testing to watch at times but TC has that bit extra to win at this level. Postol doesn't.

That's exactly it mate...Pacquiao, Mayweather and arguing over GGG. That is still the majority of NSB's content. Half the posters wouldn't post on here if it wasn't for those guys. They're just casual fans bro.

I'm hyped for the fight. The division's top 2 guys. Both unbeaten, Both quality fighters. This fight and Kovalev Vs Ward have been a god send in today's environment of ducking, vacating and avoiding. It's really excellent. It looked like we weren't going to get the fight, too. Glad everything worked out. Hopefully enough of us hardcore fans turn out to convince the sport these fights are worthwhile.

The fight should show who is the best fighter who competes at 140. Crawford is a 5 to 1 favorite in the betting odds but I think Postol has a better chance to win than that. Pacquiao makes 140 with ease. I'd like to see him fight the winner to determine who is truly the best 140 boxer fighting today.

We will have a new lineal 140 champ after this weekend

Because they can't get past the May/Pac era. I thought their retirement would bring new beginning to the sport. It didn't. That's exactly it mate...Pacquiao, Mayweather and arguing over GGG. That is still the majority of NSB's content. Half the posters wouldn't post on here if it wasn't for those guys.

The simple answer is because Crawford-Postol is not a PPV fight, the show isn't stacked to be PPV, and everyone seems to have come to that conclusion. Glad that you're excited for it, but the fight isn't worth $50 to me, the fight isn't worth $20 + drinks to head out to see, and there's not enough value in the rest of the card, to me, to spend the $20 + drinks and expect a good night of entertainment. imo, that's the minimum bar; for $20 + drinks, is the PPV going to be worth heading out for the night. If not, I'll find something more entertaining to do instead. Fake boxing fan spotted. I bet you thought Thurman/Porter was worth PPV?

Matthysse didn't want to work inside. He had several opportunities but did nothing in the clinch except rabbit punch. And it was nowhere near an even fight. Matthysse won some of the middle rounds until Postol completely took over and dominated. sigh...he did nothing while postol illegally held him...you are putting the onus on the guy being cheated once again to do something extra ordinary instead of blaming the guy cheating who refuses to fight fair. and yes it was an even fight. look at the cards. postol by 1 point on 2 cards and matthysse by 1 point. also check out fan round by rouds and you will see most had it 5-4 eitehr way. some people just favor clean work over clinching and punches with notihng on them that don't land clean. yes we know postol dominated the last 2 roudns after the headbbutt no one denies that. what you are denying is that the first 8 roudns where postol constantly clinched had no role in the fight. as if the fight just started in round 9?

I think it'll be a great bout of boxing but BBud likes to deliver, once he finds a way to negate Postol's range he's gonna put on a beat-down. And it'll be beautiful, a milestone in his career and a great unification fight. I suppose he gotta clean out the division after that, who stands in his way, Peterson, Broner? Both good fights. Then up to 147 for dreamfights aplenty! The fight's this Saturday! Unbelieveable. peterson just lost to garcia and diaz. hes done. broner obv has no intention of fighting anyone with a pulse. it would be nice to see him fight troyansky but he's unknown. oh wait rematch with ricky burns lol

yeah after the headbutt matthysse essentially quit which is obviously worthy of criticism but before that it was basically an even fight. postol didn't let his hands go until matthysse turned into arreola and just stood in front of postol without throwing or trying. before that postol was super hesitant and worried about mattysee's shots so he would just jab and clinch anytime matthysse got close and it was still even on the cards which shows he isn't that good at that strategy. its strange how you dont think 100 clinches doesn't effect a fight. thats 100 times matthysse had an opportunity to throw and possibly land punches taken away. yea no biggie there.

Neither guy really has a big fanbase. Im really excited for it though

Postol's right hands that had Matthysse spinning and dancing across the ring and eventually making him quit didn't stop him? You have an excuse for every Matthysse loss. yeah after the headbutt matthysse essentially quit which is obviously worthy of criticism but before that it was basically an even fight. postol didn't let his hands go until matthysse turned into arreola and just stood in front of postol without throwing or trying. before that postol was super hesitant and worried about mattysee's shots so he would just jab and clinch anytime matthysse got close and it was still even on the cards which shows he isn't that good at that strategy. its strange how you dont think 100 clinches doesn't effect a fight. thats 100 times matthysse had an opportunity to throw and possibly land punches taken away. yea no biggie there.
