Comments Thread For: Crawford Respects Postol's Refusal To Fight Him In Omaha

[Butt stuff]

Don't see anything not to like about Crawford. Exciting style, power and speed. Respectable/affable but also has that bit of spite that shows in the ring.

He's def good for boxing.

This is one of the most interesting fights in a long time. Lets hope nothing happens from now till then so we can enjoy a great night of boxing.
I got Postal by UD.

lucas matthysse is a better fighter than anybody crawford has beaten. it's on those grounds that i say "he's more proven against better competition." he beat teh best fighter on either of their resumes.


crawford is more experienced, but he hasn't beaten anybody as good as matthysse, who was a fading, but had been a top fighter in his day. gamboa had done his best work at much lower weights, and ricky burns is ricky burns. dulorme wasn't as good as matthysse. neithe was beltran.


oretty obvious that postol faced the best figter of the two, and has the best win. and postol is ranked higher at 140, if you notice, because of it.

Matthysse never was a champion he failed on the biggest stage 2 times against Garcia and Postol, he shouldve been champion against Peterson but that was his choice to take the catchweight fight. Lucas one of my favorite action fighters but im just saying it how it is, Crawford has faced the better competition by far.

Crawford would TKO Matthysse in under 8

Would of been able to make more money in Omaha, probably. Crawford can put asses in seats there. Not sure how well it will do in Vegas.

It'll probably do fine in Vegas, but yea Omaha would be a guaranteed sellout.

Postol by TKO 11th round

[mathed]

Crawford is a two division champion while Postol is not. They are both very good boxers but Crawford will adapt and shut Postol down past the 6th round. Crawford by TKO/KO in rounds 9-12

[Kigali]

Postol by TKO 11th round

You don't really believe that...you're just hoping.

If you're a real boxing fan you're buying the fight. I have it pre-ordered already.

[umop-ap!sdn]

......Postol stops him late. Postol by 7th round k.o. Postal 5th round stoppage. Are you ****n kidding me? Its not hard to tell the noobs and haters from the real fight fans is it? I don't care if Postol stopped Matthysse, I'm not picking him to knock Crawford out.

The Matthysse win has you casuals confused because Posrol is not a power puncher. He has 3 damn stoppages in his last 16 bouts. 3 for ****s sakes. Matthysse fought him after being battered by hooks for 12 rounds against Garcia, having his brain pinballed around his scull by Molina (although he won) and than being concussed from acumalative damage via Provodnikov. THAN he fought Postol. By the time they fought, Matthysse was a broken fighter. I doubt Postol would have stopped a pre Garcia Lucas Matine Matthysse and I doubt he stops a young strong talented boxer puncher like Crawford. He may knock him down, stun him, might even beat him. But he won't stop him so please stop with that reachin!!!

Thank me later
