Comments Thread For: Crawford Not Concerned About Postol's Height, Reach Edge

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Viktor Postol's most obvious advantage over Terence Crawford is his height. The unbeaten WBC super lightweight champion stands 5-feet-11, making him three full inches taller than Crawford. Ukraine's Postol (28-0, 12 KOs) also owns a 3-inch reach advantage over the 5-8 Crawford (28-0, 20 KOs), which could help him establish his consistently effective jab during their 12-round, 140-pound title unification fight Saturday night in Las Vegas.

Comparing those guys to Postol could be a HUGE mistake...Postol is WAY better.

The jab at range will be the only advantage Postol will have in the ring. Crawford has the advantage in footwork and hand speed. Postol doesn't have a special jab. It comes from up high. What will be critical is if Postol can hit Crawford with something before Crawford counters the jab. I see footwork and hand speed being more of a deciding factor than Postol reach advantage.
