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.

Originally posted by Mayabang View Postagreed, but don't you think they can generate more money if they let them marinate both fighters for awhile? I like both fighters and I wouldn't mind both fighting others before fighting each other. One or two more fights should give them enough hype to be PPV worthy. But that's just my opinion of course.

Crawford needs to be clowned for 3 of his last 4 opponents being a weight class below him. The guy who turned down the fight can't clown Crawford.

The fight ended up the way it did cause Lucas was not landing, and constantly had gloves bouncing off his forehead.
In your eyes though, he was beat by a care bear...

Originally posted by HandSpeed303 View PostOkay.. Bottom line, I am not here to play the my fan card is bigger than yours game. You seem butt hurt. You stated that a fighter killed his career by making another fighter quit... Yet, your not here to make silly statements. We can agree to disagree, and move on.
yes he killed his career. you want to know why? you think if ggg had fought like postol he would be one of the biggest stars in boxing right now.....hmmm no. postol started at a disadvantage being that he is not from the states, doesn't speak english, and has no fanbase. being completely boring and clinching nonstop just put a nail in the coffin. yes if postol was american or a brash talker or appealed to a certain fan base maybe he could have gotten away with that kind of clinch fighting but unfortunately its not going to work out for him. they aren't going to just give him fights simply for winning. is it fair compared to other fighters? no but is it fair given that the man consistently breaks the rules? yes in that aspect its not only fair but a good thing long term.
also how was i playing a fan card? i was talking about a bigger issue in boxing. clinching. yea i'm not a a fan of clinching. don't know why you are and that's why i was asking.
