Pacquiao shouldn’t fight Crawford if he wants to end his career with a win.
Terrific fight and outstanding performance by Crawford. Freddie Roach should better think twice before placing a bet.
Brilliant win by a terrific champion. Too bad it’s pretty dull, but that’s the style matchup for you. Blame Postol, who followed Bud hopelessly all night.
Good fight! To me, Crawford is the best brain in boxing right now, the best P4P. Period.
Very true. Pacquiao should steer clear of him if he wants to end his career with a win.
Good fight Crawford trash him lol if that was Floyd y’all would of said he running Crawford just fighting good
Crawford really uses MOVEMENT left to right to counter all the jabs from Postol and neutralize him. One good thing about Crawford is that he doesnt hug insanely like the PED CHEAT. Maycheater just simply hugs, runs and pot shots.
bad fight another boring mayweather
postol scared to throw
BOOOOOORING! This is why boxing is now secondary to MMA. Fighters like Crawford and Mayweather has turned boxing from an exciting, action filled, fight into bore. Is it a wonder why MMA keeps getting bigger while boxing is in its’ last leg and choking.
HE HE HE HE Did people actually paid for this fight? It’s a track meet. Mayweather keeps hinting around of a comeback. But he can’t gather any traction where people are overjoyed to watch him fight again, especially his last fight with Berto was the usual stinker Mayweather fight. Stay retired Floyd, do the fans a big favor.
in spite of the mobility displayed by both boxers and Postol’s full time aggression the fight was quite boring due to the very few number of punches they were able to connect. Crawford wasn’t able to shine as he did in most of his previous bouts because Postol’s reach advantage attribute which favors him very much. Anyhow Crawford connected the more powerful punches and probed to be a better technical boxer than his adversary so he got a well deserved victory in front of a very frustrated Postol.
Really expected more from Postol. Once he was being countered and couldn’t get his jab off, he just accepted the L rather than taking big risks to at least try for the win. I guess nearly being knocked out by counters off your jab will do that to a guy, but wow he really just gave up after round 6. Crawford is certainly the best at 140 right now, and probably well beyond that.
