I got Postol over Crawford all day

[torosboxing75]

I must be one of the only fans here that think Crawford needs a KO to win.

[Bullrider]

But he loses rounds while he's trying to 'adjust', against guys like Hank Lundy and Dulorme. Floyd never needed rounds to adjust against guys of such a low level.

I just bet all my points with the guy above

Would be nice to see posters in this thread with their proper account. Most of them are alts with few points. They have nothing to lose.

You guys know I'm not sold on Crawford at all, but if he wins this one fairly, I'll give him his credit. I find him extremely overrated skillwise and don't see this P4P level fighter people are talking about.

Postol is a much more fundamentally sound boxer, he's got a much better jab, a sharper, straighter right hand, better defence and he's definitely the more proven out of the two, there are no question marks about him.

I think Postol boxes Crawford's head off and wins a clear decision.

yes, postol has a good chance vs crawford...

Crawford breaks him down and stops him late

Crawford breaks him down and stops him late

This is what I see happening, if not a decision.

Crawford's key is ring generalship. If he walks Postol down rounds 1-4, Postol isn't winning the fight.

In my mind, Postol has one option: stop Crawford early. Catch him with something good like Gamboa did but follow up and keep at it. I just don't know that Viktor has that in him.

My prediction: Postol gets stopped inside of 10 rounds.

postol is a great technical boxer and thats why he had a debatable fight with hank lundy.

[mathed]

Stick to MMA.

They couldn't have gone either way if you have any clue on how to score fights. Of course Crawford would say that, he's not going to say 'yeah Gamboa outboxed me for the first 4' is he?

SMH, Gamboa got dropped 4 times too. Just like when people say Dulorme outboxed Crawford for the first 5 rounds, he sucks. Again, Dulorme got dropped 2 or 3 times and stopped as well.

The when Crawford says it was part of his plan, people call bullschit. I see the dude making subtle adjustments in the ring, round by round, setting things up to execute. Postol is a great boxer but he will get outsmarted and outmaneuvered down the stretch by Crawford. His face will become heavily swollen and bloody, leading him to get with shots. Crawford works the body too so Postol will have plenty to worry about, especially with that long midsection that he has and his propensity to fight "tall".

By rounds 8, 9, and 10 Postol will be looking slower and starting to eat tons of shots.

Yeah, you have to beat him early if you want to beat him at all. He always gets better as the fight progresses and he will walk you down until he has you hurt, then he pounces for the kill.

Crawford hasn't been in with any 'top guys' except Gamboa, but I don't consider that an impressive win because of the difference in size

Dierry Jean, Dulorme, Lundy, Beltran, Presoctt etc are C level at best, there's absolutely nothing impressive about beating this guys.

Postol has fought Aydin, Lundy, Corley as well btw.

How much you trying to bet on this Locke?
