Comments Thread For: Crawford: Postol's Knockout of Matthysse Means Nothing
WBO junior welterweight champion Terence Crawford (28-0, 20KOs) is not impressed with Viktor Postol's biggest career win, a tenth round knockout of heavy-hitter Lucas Matthysse.
Don't know much about Victor pistol but Crawford biggest win was Gamboa who fighting at a weight he shouldn't have been and gave Crawford hell for the first 5 rounds...
Not to diminish Crawford's accomplishment up to this point, but Postol would be the highest quality opponent he's faced thus far. He shouldn't look down on him. I doubt he loses...but overconfidence can defeat a boxer too.

Agreed. The Gamboa fight left a lot of unanswered questions for me on whether Crawford is for real. All of this talk about Crawford being a good technician had 0 to do with how he pulled out that win. Postol's 5'11 (at 140??) and a stand up, outside fighter with little head movement. Crawford will be the heavier hitter. I'm looking forward to the fight.
