postol never wanted to make a "war" | BoxingScene Community

postol never wanted to make a "war"

postol never wanted to fight head to head......postol wanted to get his jab off and land counters in the center of the ring. he was forced to go towards crawford because of the head movement & foot speed. in the 12th crawford came forward taking him up on his invitation of war and postol backed off and was happy to work his jab in the center of the ring. crawford then laughs as to say "i know thats all u wanted"

Postol always been known for being featherfisted, until he messed up Matthysse eye and got a TKO - but that was just a coincedence. Postol never had a chance to hurt Crawford with his punches even if they were landed clean

he's not that weak...crawford took away all of his tools....... His jabs were hardly a threat. 3 rounds in, Crawford was clowning him. Each punch from Crawford on the other hand had a massive force behind it. Postol looked absolutely scared to move in and try new things due to the sheer power difference. A good punch to the body and Postol would like go down. I still think he needs to bulk and move up.

If Postol actually tried to make it a war, Crawford would have knocked him out early.

He didn't look weak at all. What fight were you watching? Yeah, I agree. Postol didn't look weak to me either. If Crawford had felt that Postol was weak he would have walked right through him and went for the KO.

Postol looks too weak in his current weight. He needs to move up and put some muscles on. Dude hardly deterred Crawford with his punches. He could be an effective outboxer if his punches didn't feel like pillow hitting Craw. he's not that weak...crawford took away all of his tools.......
