      sometimes fighters are just unlucky. there is no popular bum gatti in the division for crawford to beat up and gain a following. floyd was just lucky in his timing. no one knew who postol was even thoguh he was much better than gatti.

        It appears I wasn't the only one who held this fight in such a negative point of view



        I knew I wasn't overreacting, poor people who had to spend 60 dollars on this they should be refunded.

        Okay the link I was giving isn't working for here but just of it is even journalists were calling the whole thing a very boring 12 rounds.

          Wade Vs GGG wasn't a PPV so what exactly is your point again?

          We need two men willing to engage, great fighters are willing to take chances.

            seems like every fight which is anything above ****, is made into a ppv. These fighters should be fighting on normal TV, getting the exposure, thats how boxings going to make it into the big time again

              To me, Crawford took Postol to school and it was a brilliant performance. I enjoyed the the fight. Postol is in his prime, not drained and not old and he got shut down.

                  Postol got outsmarted and dropped. It was a clear cut victory for Bud.

                  Now as for paying for it, lol, I got a pretty decent HBO stream and enjoyed the entire card as it didn't cost me a dime.

                    It was HBO, they said that they didn't have the money for the card. We are gonna get more of this stuff in the future because boxers want to get paid so much money for every fight whether it's a fight that deserves big money or not.

                      Blaming tc for postols terrible performance. Lol ok then
                      Same thing people did for Clinchko/Povetkin. Blame Povetkin for Clinchko's terrible performance. it's what they do around here.

                      Bottom line folks - Postol didn't show up and when he did, he got tagged. That's boxing - Hit and not be hit.

                      Crawford did what boxers SHOULD do. Not purposely try to "Abdusalomov" their opponent simply because they're not fighting back.

                      Your anger should be directed squarely at Roach and Postol for not giving you the fight you felt you deserved. POSTOL had to press the action and did not.
