    I think it could be an entertaining fight as well as a highly technical one. The only thing that really worries me is Postol's tendency to clinch, but that was a lot easier to do against the shorter Matthysse than it will be against Crawford.

    I'm not sure what way to call it. I think Crawford has more variety, but what Crawford did to Gamboa, Postol did to Matthysse. That was an impressive display of control and efficiency. On the other hand he wasn't that great against Lundy who Crawford beat easily.

    Both are quality, but both have question marks over them too.

      Such a damn good fight. I'm a little upset that it's PPV, but great fight nonetheless

        Postol isn't going to clinch Crawford because Crawford won't be looking to get inside Postol, he can't fight in the pocket, the fight won't be at close quarters, it will be a boxing match and Postol is the better boxer out of the two

          I cant see Postol doing mutch against Crawford. Crawford does everything better than Postol. And he has no punchers-chance either because hes not a big puncher.

            Normally I would be saying Crawford got this as he has all the tools. However, I still remember that interview Dontae had with that trainer, who said he watched Crawford get knocked out by Gary Russell Jr. Lol. I guess I am on the fence with this one.

              No it won't. These 2 fundamentally sound offensive minded boxers are not runners and are not known to clinch to save their dear life. They fight like men.

              In a NBA analogy if they were Nba centers they'll be

              Postol is like Duncan not flashy but gets the job done.

              Crawford is like Shaq more explosive but gets equal results

                It's a completely valid opinion to believe victor could end up being the winner of this fight.

                  Yes I agree, postol is the more fundamentally sound of the 2, but that said why this fight is intriguing is it's a 50/50 fight. Both have equal chance of winning it. It's who is the more hungry of the 2 who'll win.
