Comments Thread For: Postol Reveals Terence Crawford Refused To Fight Him

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Even with a bad ref like Jack Reiss or Lawrence Cole helping him, Crawford would have problems with Postol.

When has a referee ever helped Crawford?

If anything Jack Reiss was very lenient with Postol last night.

We should bet on that fight if it gets made. I think Crawford beats Postol; he'll be complaining to the ref the entire time about the holding and the ref will start to deduct points. Plus, Crawford can get to Postol from distance and strictly works behind the jab, I can't recall more than 5 jabs that Matts threw all fight.

I'll take that bet.

There will be no holding in that fight, Crawford can't fight in the pocket and won't be looking to get inside Postol, it'll be a chess match in which Postol will clearly come out on top.

Crawford is a good fighter but he's not as good as I initially thought, he's become ridiculously overrated, people even have him in their top 10 P4P which is ridiculous. The guy was being outboxed by 5'5 Gamboa, if Gamboa wasn't like 2 weight classes smaller, he wins that fight east. He was being outboxed by C level Dulorme as well.

I don't see the fight being made anyway, Imam's gonna beat Postol, then we'll be talking about Imam vs Crawford. Imam definitely wins that one.

Crawford or Arum? Most likely Arum, because I feel he has something planned for Crawford to meet Pac. It seems Arum is interested in investing in Crawford.

You forget the most important part though, he knocked both of those guys out.

I'll keep an eye out for news of that match, definitely putting a few e-points on my boy Crawford. He may be overrated by some but he's obviously being underrated by others.

Nah, I didn't forget. Gamboa is like half Crawford's size and he's chinny anyway. I don't give Crawford much credit for that win. P4P Gamboa is clearly a better fighter.

And Dulorme is a chinny C class fighter, it's not a good look to be outboxed by him for 5 rounds.

Like I said I'll definitely take that bet if the fight gets made and make it 2-0 against you on bets

I agree that Arum has plans for crawford, that's why we'll have Pacquiao vs Khan and Crawford vs Postol

I believe it. I'm not saying Postol would win. But That fight is dangerous as all hell either way. And anyone who thinks Crawford just walks the dogs on Postol is crazy. Especially after tonight. Crawford has been hurt by Gamboa. Postol is taller, rangier and a better fighter in every aspect than Gamboa, except for speed. Postol is a problem for any and every elite fighter at 140, just ask Mattysse.

I can't necassarily pick would win between Postol and Crawford. I will say that if anyone gets stopped, I don't think it'd be Postol, though.

Well, Postol was not exactly seen as a killer or a known guy. He became an overnight top fighter. I didn't really care about him until now that he stopped Matthysse. So I would understand fighters not caring about fighting him when everyday boxing fans like myself don't even care about him. Now would be a good time though, because now Postol got his first very good win.

Matthysse was repeatedly rabbit punching and Reiss was ignoring it. Reiss was quick to scold Postol when he retaliated though.

Crawford beat small no chin Gamboa, and bums. Hype job at this point.
