I got Postol over Crawford all day

How did Crawford embarrass Gamboa? If anything that fight showed that Gamboa is a levels above Crawford in terms of skill. Gamboa is naturally 2-3 weight classes smaller than Crawford and he easily won the first 4 rounds of that fight, he then got carried away like he always does and it cost him against a much bigger man.
Crawford also struggled with Dulorme for the first 5 rounds, he gave away 3-4 rounds in that fight, against a guy who's C level at best.
I really don't see anything out of the ordinary about Crawford.
that's whats special about Crawford, his ability to adjust to whats happening in the fight.
he can lose the first 3 rounds against postol and still stay calm, poised and finish the fight in dominating fashion.
guys like mosley,cotto,khan, great talents but they never make in fight adjustments. that's what seperates good fighters from great fighters.
Crawford will take the next step on july 23rdComment

I hate to say but the closer it gets, the fight isnt 50/50 to me anymoreYou 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.
been watching their fights lately and i dont see anything postol does that Bud cant adjust too
Bud has the edge in speed, power, can switch hit, can fight inside, on the pivot...imo he is just the more versatile fighter
Postol gets stopped lateComment

I'm sold on Crawford as one heck of a fighter.
But Postol might be the one guy who is built perfectly to beat him.
Postol dominating mattysse is far more impressive than anything Crawford has done.
Postol is tall, accurately throws a lot of punches, has a chin, seems to have a very good boxing iq.
This is a top notch fight, too bad it's on ppv though.Comment

I have got Crawford over Postol by UD, but I wouldn;t be surprised if it goes the other way or a draw.. But imo, Crawford starts late buts adjusts pretty well & he is pretty strong even when he is on a southpaw stance.. The fight favors Postol in the early rounds, a few even rounds & then I expect Bud to kick in with this work rate & take the scorecards in the end..
I hope there is no robbery when it goes to cards..Comment
