    Well I guess it's Pac vs Crawford now.

      What a pathetic performance by both guys. Punch stats were complete bullisht, they exaggerated the output of both fighters to make this look like it was a fight. Postol landed maybe 20 punches all night, Crawford landed maybe 50. Postol could not take a single punch clean, and showed why old Matthysse was kicking his ass and outboxing him until he re-injured his eye. Unfortunately that circumstance allowed unwarranted hype to be put behind Postol, setting up the Crawford hype train to run full steam ahead after beating an extremely basic fighter.

      I've never seen a fighter run like that. I miss Floyd. Even Lara vs Canelo, Lara did the exact same thing, run laps around the ring, but he at least stung Canelo with 4-6 clean lefts down the pipe per round. Crawford would just ambush Postol with one shot to start a round, which Postol fell for like an amateur, then run laps and juke like a running back without throwing the next 90 seconds any time Postol got close, then juke into one punch after Postol had no choice but to overextend after 90 seconds of chasing a marathon runner if he wanted to make any action, and then kill the clock for the rest of the round. Most of these rounds were 2 punches to 1, 3 punches to 2 or 1, at best 4-5 punches. Least action I've ever seen in a prize fight.

      It's like HBO and their defensive fighters use the same joint gameplan to con boxing fans every time. It's always the same script.

      Hype up a basic opponent with neither elite power or speed, who has never beat a good boxer and only fought the opposite style, as some world beater? Check.

      When the defensive fighter still can't do anything but run and out-potshot the basic fighter by a punch or two per round, talk incessantly about what a virtuoso display it is? Check.

      Crawford even pulled the exact Floyd Mayweather at the end. After running for 11 rounds, getting booed, he acts like he's finally going to show a little something to the crowd, and acts tough for all of 15 seconds exchanging, until he gets caught once by a punch that isn't even that great, and then all of a sudden the tough guy act turns 180 degrees into a "you can't hit me while I run look at me taunting you act!" that is pure salesmanship, but the HBO crew always hypes up like "see how he's running and taunting to try to trick everyone into realizing he's not running? That means he's super confident and a virtuoso! Floyd did dat too!!!!! That means he's amazing!"

      And the final cherry on top that these defensive fighters who avoid engaging always add to the spectacle? They're always asked simple questions in the post fight interviews, "do you want the super fight now since you haven't fought a top opponent ever?" and instead of just saying yes, hell yeah, bring it on next! they always pull a Canelo "well I'll talk to my team. But I'll fight anyone! Just don't want to mention anyone by name, especially the guy you just asked me about that everyone wants to see me fight. But I'll fight anyone!"

      And then Jim Lampley, coordinating his spin with the post fight interview avoidance just like he did with the whole fight, tries to downplay the fight happening next, on cue, because we learned from May-Pac that marinating Pacquiao fights at age 37 is great for boxing!

      The whole charade was a joke. Crawford's speed, foot speed, and two-handed punching are elite. He has the tools but that performance was a joke. Postol, what can you say, Crawford ran all night so the only way he could get to him was to overextend, and Crawford is twice as fast and twice as powerful as him, so that wasn't an option either. He was constantly jabbing three feet in the air over Crawford's head, and Crawford didn't even have to duck. He showed all he knows how to do is throw the 1-2, he had zero punch selection and no snap in his left hook. Had no left uppercut at all. Just not a natural boxer which explains why he made brawler Lucas Matthysse look like SRL until he caught no-head-movement Matthysse in the eye and reinjured it. Otherwise Matthysse would have won and we would have gotten a much better fight tonight.

      But, that's how boxing has been for an entire decade. Nothing goes how it's supposed to. That's because even if Matthysse would have won, then they probably just wouldn't have made the fight right now, because Arum knows Postol is much more limited. Bob views these fighters as his last few "investments" I think and he's not putting a single one of them in any fight where the hype for the opponent does not exceed that opponent's abilities by a factor of 100.

      You got this HBO crap on one side, PBC on the other... boxing is a mess. Kovalev-Ward is boxing's only hope this year. But it's boxing so that won't happen either I bet.

        Brilliant footwork by Crawford. Too much of it really. Too much respect shown to Postol. Meanwhile Postol never went to a plan B. Did he even have one? It was like he was more determined not to get KOd than he was to win. Put Salido's heart in Postol and it would have been a lot closer fight.

          Not impressed that Crawford won. I fully expected him to. What impressed me is how he won. Postol is generally a mover. And Bud usually is a lil more stationary. So Bud comes out moving, which completely confused and exposed Postol. Terrace Crawford is the most versatile fighter in the game, hands down. I don't think he can beat Manny. But its a legit superfight. Bring it on.

                Crawford showed great footwork...left to right movement, exceptional counter punching , switch hitting and could hurt postol almost at will....postol on the other hand was shown to be robotic , stiff upper torso and unable to throw more than one punch at a time and was not on buds level.....crawfords a great fighter and he's ready to take over in my opinion

                  I would love to see him fight Frankie Gomez or Felix Diaz next if he doesn't get the Pacman fight.
                  I'd love to see him whip Broners a** if the 2 sides can come to a deal.

                    Yep, Crawford ran entirely too much. He constantly ran his fist into Postol's face over and over and over again.

                      crawford vs manny is lame...in a year or so crawford will move up to 147 and be mandatory for the 147 welterweight champ, the current King of 147 Danny Swift Garcia, i believe Danny and Bud are 1-1 in amateurs, either future PPV fight or future PBC fight, Bring it to FOX Mr. HAYMON...#TeamDSG
