Comments Thread For: Postol: I'll Destroy Crawford, Matthysse is a Higher Level Fighter

[John Locke]

People need to elaborate on comment like this one. State some things Matthysse does better than Crawford?

He's better offensively, he throws sharper combinations, he can cut the ring off better, punches straighter and obviously punches much harder.

In fact, he's not even that far behind defensively, Crawford's defence is very suspect.

I don't know where people get this idea from that Crawford is some super skilled P4P fighter, he's looked average against guys like Ricky Burns, Beltran, Prescott, Dulorme etc. He's suspect defensively, loses lots of rounds against C level fighters, he gets very wild and leaves himself open to get badly countered, his power is absolutely average despite popular opinion suggesting otherwise. There's just nothing special about him.

Don't get me wrong though I don't think Matthysse is anything above a B level fighter either. But he's definitely more proven, has a much better resume and to me is more skilled.

I stopped reading here. Learn the sport, and stop exposing your lack of knowledge. Nothing else you say is worth a damn after reading that.

Grow up you helmet. You asked me to explain the point I made, so I explained it politely and you respond like some brave internet warrior feeling safe behind his keyboard?

Have the spine to directly quote me next time as well you ****

I agree 100%

I love it. They think Crawford is just going to run him over

Crawford is too smart for Postol. Postol's fight with Matthysse was horrific to watch, all that clinching. Put me off him for life. Postol is a good, solid boxer but Crawford has too much cerativity for him. He'll adapt and beat him in a solid UD.

Yeah.. fu.k that fight... **** the ref and postol.

I have no clue who wins this fight. It could be a boring fight or a chess match. I love chess matches. I thought Porter/Thurman was a chess match in which clinching was very minimal.

I'm begging people to take bets. ANY BET. I've got Crawford all the way.
