No announcement yet.
Serious question: Does anyone believe Victor Postol has a chance against Crawford?

Postol's best work is at range. In close he can get shots but his power is even lower.
To me he's tailor made for Crawford's prime Hearns-ish style.
So...can someone explain to me how exactly Postol has even a fraction of a chance against this guy? How we're not going to see a Joshua/Martin situation?
But *******s will say "quithysse" and that stuff.

erm.... where were we?
Ah yeah ... Postol - Crawford. Yeah, I'm liking both guys, I'm leaning towards Bud, but I think the Iceman has a real shot - rangy, very good jab and certainly respectable pop - I can see whoever is able to control range best taking this in a tactical jabbing war. Outside of Kovalev - Ward probably my most anticipated fight of the year.

You're comparing an excellent fight between the top 2 guys at 140, both of whom have outstanding amateur pedigree and real boxing skills, in a contest for the true lineal title in their division ...
... to Joshua vs. Martin???
YOURE EITHER JOKING, TROLLING, OR IRREDEEMABLY STUPID. GTFOH, MORON
Originally posted by Santa_ View PostCrawford's best win is Gamboa and Postol just sparked out Matthysse so yeah I'd say he has a real good chance of winning.
60-40 in Postol's favor IMO.
In Postol, I saw a light welter version of Grabomir Clinchko when he faced Povetkin. That's what I saw. Nearly a mirror image. He looked gassed, he looked slow, he wasn't listening to the ref and he was frequently distracted.
Lucas quit because of his eye, period. That came when Lucas left his head wide open coming in.
Crawford throws bombs at distance, gets inside when the opponent is wobbled and starts rolling with punches. I simply don't see the Postol I witnessed in his last fight dealing with that amount of abuse.
