Comments Thread For: Roach: Crawford is Good, But Can't Handle Postol

[wlliam]

I can see why ppl would think Postal can give TC fits but outside of that length, TCs more rounded overall. There will be competitive rds but i see TC cruising to a UD. The speed is the difference and TC has a better jab, Postals jab was more of a factor after Lucas faded and he was working around that jab nicely up until then. See with Postals length you wanna make him reach and catch him clean, make him think twice, then u can move up mid range, then inside ...all of which Crawford can do. Crawford is just toi much class for Postal at this point but its the fight to make at 140...count me in

Not that I necessarily agree with what Roach said, I do wholeheartedly agree with what he is doing. He's using his own name and that big win to call out another elite top level fighter. He even said they'd go to Crawford's front porch to fight. That's what the sport needs.

Now as far as who's actually better? Well, Postol is a high workrate, excellent stamina type of fighter. And he has some very advantageous physical attributes in there. Crawford might be more skilled, but Postol is longer and we know his chin is as solid as it gets. I really can't pick a winner here but I wouldn't be surprised of Postol finds his hands raised in the end. He's that good.

When postol got a hard warning for holding that's wheb the fight changed. If there was no warning and the way the fight was scored matthysse woukd have got the nod. In all the early roundsbthe judges gave mathysse.

People keep ignoring this fact because of lederman's ****** score card. The turning point of the fight was the end of the 7th, when postol hurt Lucas. Before that, his jab and clinch style wasn't impressing the judges. Despite getting drilled by some big shots, if postol didn't get warned for clinching he would have lost. That warning opened up the fight and actually benefited him rather than Lucas.

there is no doubt postol is the type of fighter people are going to under estimate i think hes got a better chance against crawford then people think. hes got a chin as we saw and his length is going to give anyone troubles

Tough fight for Crawford, but at the same time this would be the sort of fight, that can make someone like Crawford.

The catch was " if the money is right " very easy to price Postol out of the fight but keep his name in the headlines saying they want the fight .

Crawford will take some rounds to reach him and when he does it will be a dog on a bone , Crawford has very bad intentions and will KO Postol around the 8th round , Postol moves in straight lines and is a typical straight up and down jabbing Euro , Lucas is flatfooted and a limited round house puncher Crawford has quick feet and the whole punchers toolbox , Terrance will light Postol up ..

I don't get people. Postol isn't an easy night of work for anyone at 140. But just in case you don't take my word for it, Crawford already passed on Postol once. Surely there's a reason for that.

They know. And now anyone with any sense knows. Even if Crawford were to win, it wouldn't be easy. And lets not forget, there have been rumors surrounding Crawford's chin. It's a 50/50 fight. People need to give Postol his dues.
