Terrence Crawford put up a good performance against Postol. But all things being equal. He "ran" from Postol the whole fight. Recall Rigondeaux vs Donaire. Rigondeaux stood in with Donaire, much more than Crawford stood in with Postol. Sure Crawford got a few flash knockdowns, but that was more due to Postol simply being uncoordinated and fluky. Crawford also outweighed Postol in the ring. Why did he run so much? Why did Bob Arum slob him down in such a manner post fight, when he boxed and moved away(ran) more than Rigondeaux did against Donaire.
Rigondeaux on the other hand, was outweighed in the ring against Donaire, significantly. He also gave up at least three inches in height. Rigondeaux stood in much more with a comparatively much more dangerous opponent in Donaire than Crawford did against Postol. He busted Donaire's face in the process. Yet post fight Arum totally disrespected Rigondeaux, and complained that he ran.
What type of fvckery is Arum on?
I didn't think he was running at all except for the 12th where he taunted him, then backed off.
You can't call boxing "running" when you don't like the outcome. One guy is usually pursuing the other. Ward walked down Froch at one point, that doesn't mean Froch was running just because he was backing up.
Running is when you evade your opponent by retreating. Crawford was circling and countering.
I agree, I used the terms ran, running, to make a point. I have no issue with the outcome, I like Crawford. My main point was regarding Bob Arum's hypocricy. Crawford moved away from Postol, more than Rigondeaux moved away from Donaire. Yet Crawford was praised, while Rigondeaux was disrespected by Arum
LMFAO at "Running" that seems like everybody's go to excuse when their favorite fighters gets completed outboxed and complete outclassed! So let me get this right, Postol not knowing how to cut the ring off is Crawford fault? :lol1:
Absolutely zero truth to this.
By the account to Garbey, Donito was 142 while Rigo was 125 fighting.
But even if it was closer than that the size difference was pretty evidence in the ring.

running is what lara did against canelo. Crawford boxed circles around postol
Lol Boxed circles. If Lara did run also was Crawford.
And Canelo face looked busted in comparison to Postol while Lara being a smaller guy.
People Hypocrisy is just unbelievable.
Donaire was making Arum more money in those days, Arum didn't want the fight in those days. Postol status isn't at the same level in terms of popularity, if it was the fight would have taken longer to make and even when the fight gets made Arum would do what he does best and claim Crawford 'ran'.... He wouldn't say that here because Crawford is American, he looks like he is building a fanbase of his own and he is in line to face Pacquiao.

The money making type of "fckery". Crawford is an American champion whom pulls his fanbase wherever he travels, Rigondeaux on the other hand... Not so much.
So because Rigondeaux wasn't a big money bringer, that means he gets trashed by his promoter after the best boxing performance of that year, where he gave a bigger, heavier, power punching, pound for pound guy the pumpkin face? I never mentioned money. I'm pointing out Arum's hypocrisy. Whether Rigs was a money earning or not, he should have gotten praise from his promoter post fight instead of ridicule. Crawford move around more than Rigondeaux did against a lighter punching, lesser skilled opponent, than what Rigondeaux was in with. The crowd boo'd as Crawford refused to put his foot to the gas and try to finish it. Yet Arum gave him all the praise in the world.
I specifically compared the post fight reactions of Arum. Rigondeaux dethroned a top pound for pound guy, without running half as much as Crawford did. Arum disrespected him post fight saying that he ran, and stunk it up, that nobody wanted to see that. Yet Crawford boxed and moved more than Rigondeaux did, against a comparatively lesser opponent with comparatively less power, and he got all the praise from Arum that he deserved.
Considering rigos own manager went on the record to say that rigo pissed away countless opportunities and is responsible for destroying his own career..you're barking up the wrong tree. Rigo was given even another chance recently on the cotto card. He ran and barely threw against some 100th ranked bum.
