      He didn't mention his name because Arum has other plans for Crawford and Postol. He's trying to marinate the fight. Postol-Granados on the the Lomachenko-Walters undercard. Crawford against Provodnikov in July. Crawford previously called out Postol and accepted the fight. It's obvious that Bob is in his ear

        HBO doesn't want it because Crawford might lose.

        Its as if you actually support HBO in doing this.
        this is entertainment. you seem to forget that aspect of boxing. postol-matthysse was the worse fight since wlad-povetkin. it was a clinh fest. yes he got the win but he did it by cheating and by cheating he forgot the entertainment aspect of boxing.

          did you watch postol matthysse? that was utter garbage. maybe it would be better with crawford but unfortunately clinchers tend to resort to clicnhing unless they are in complete control of a fight. would postil be in complete control of the fight aaginst a highly skilled opponent like crawford? prob not. they should do the fight but on teh condition that there is no clinching and make sure that is dealt with. then and only then should they do the fight.

              Its boxing. I found Matts/Postol entertaining. you and others didn't because you have become conditioned to judge the fight on how it ends, not what happens.

              HBO wanted Matts to win so Crawford could get an easy win over him the next fight. Postol won so he is being punished because he has a real chance of doing what Rigo did to Donaire.

              Maybe if Matts knew how to box instead of just hit, he'd have a chance at beating top tier guys and earn fights with a guy like Crawford.

                Plain and simple!!! This is coming from a fan that likes both fighters!! Crawford/Postol is the fight at 140, period!

                  Them having nothing to say about Postol tells me they aren't marinating anything. If Postol continues to look great, we'll never see them fight.

                    You clearly had some sort of interest in the fight.. Lucas fan perhaps? Dude got schooled and quit.
