The classic nonsense of weigh-in psychology.

I noticed what Crawford is saying while watching the weighin video. Postol kept clinching his jaw looking at Crawford's nose and mouth area then he turned away very quickly while Crawford continued to stare right through him as he smiled.

Bud is going to go after him and punish him. This should be a great fight, just hope Postol doesn't get stopped after a few rounds.

This has all the makings and potential of being a very tactical match. I mean it's a battle between two counter punchers. One thing is for sure; Crawford won't be overly reckless and aggressive as Lucas Matthyssee was in his bout with Viktor Postol, in order to pursue a KO, because that's not his style. He isn't a slugger he is a boxer.

He is more of a boxer/counter puncher who likes to pick and choose his spots very carefully and tends to fights in spurts. He is a very deliberate, accurate and patient fighter.

This could pose some serious stylistic problems for Postol, who likes to fight off the back foot. Terence Crawford won't chase him around the ring.

At some point, Viktor is going to have to decide to mix up, in order to exchange and trade punches with Terence, by settling down on his punches for more power while fighting flat-footed if he stands any chance of winning this fight.

if you're banking on him being scrared you're gonna lose the fight, bud.


doubt he really thnks he's scared. these guys earned their spots. they're going to show up prepared mentally as well as physically.

Or postol can just box from the outside using his longer reach.

why will postol mix it up with someone shorter in height and reach?

drives casuals bonkers . there are some who think something like eye contact at a weigh in is more important than having athletic talent, or training for 15-20 years. we call them "dum dums."

What a ****** thing to say Fedor Emelianenko never looked his opponent in the eyes but look what happened with the majority of them?

Wonder how big Postol will be on the night he loks diced in this picture absolutely shredded.
I'm unsure on this fight, this will prove how good Terence Crawford really is perhaps.
