    I like Crawford, but not by much... This will test Bud to his limits... Could be a split decision in this one.

    I would be mildly surprised if Postol wins, but not shocked by any means... I'm looking forward to this one...

      Tall southpaw with a good jab and defense. Not a great puncher but good enough to keep crawford honest. Rangy and high work rate

        Crawford's best win is Gamboa and Postol just sparked out Matthysse so yeah I'd say he has a real good chance of winning.

        60-40 in Postol's favor IMO.

            I think Crawford has the talent to beat anyone at 147 and down. It's going to be interesting because Postol is like Crawford in that he gets better as the fight goes on. Except with him he just really breaks his opponents down with activity. I think ultimately Crawford's ability to figure out ways to land power punches in either stance is going to be what wins it for him.

              These are the two most promising boxers among the new gen, IMO, and this is about as close to a 50/50 fight as we'll have this year aside from Ward/Kovalev.

                Postol's best work is at range. In close he can get shots but his power is even lower.

                To me he's tailor made for Crawford's prime Hearns-ish style.

                So...can someone explain to me how exactly Postol has even a fraction of a chance against this guy? How we're not going to see a Joshua/Martin situation?
                Oh is that it now? Wasn't Crawford supposedly ducking Postol a month ago according to this forum? So now he's tailors made, I see, is it flip flop time?

                      Postal will only test if Crawford and catch him , other than Postal stealing the fight Crawford will put some heat on him in the last quarter I think Postal will fold under pressure , I didnt think much of Postal at all .
