Comments Thread For: Postol: I Tried To Make an Exciting Fight, Crawford Was Running

[g27region]

By the way, what Postol said is what these suckers always tells to media after losing - "Oh, that mother****er was running and he wasn't letting me hit him. How he had the nerve to avoid my punches?" lol

If he was running.. Why didn't you stop him from running

Hard to make an exciting fight when the opponent is too scared to trade. Crawford will become the next Lara. Even worse. At least Lara is seen doing the rope a dope occasionally.

I don't think this guy will ever become a consistent PPV star. He looks good on Lundy type opponents. He'll be boring again against guys like Thurman, Garcia, Peterson, etc.

I see HBO distancing themselves with this extremely boring guy.

In other other words he's Black.

if team crawford had hoped this debut ppv fight would catapult him into bigger ppv fights then they implemented the wrong game plan. sure he won, but his team is getting bigger, expenses growing so he'd need more of this ppvs. but fighting this way wont land him bigger revenues in the future. i like crawford but i was turned off from this fight.

That guy must live a very sheltered life in a nice neighborhood if he thinks simply playing some craps or C-lo makes Crawford a thug. Someone like Broner who assaulted someone at a dice game is a thug, or at least acting thuggish at that moment. Wade, who assaulted his baby mama and was on house arrest is a thug or acting thuggish. Crawford was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

We need to understand that many boxers and fighters come from impoverished conditions and grow up around thugs. For many of these young, poor fighters, the boxing gym is an escape from the world around them, a way out of and away from the ******s and slums. Its not like joining the school soccer team to have status with Tommy and Joey while sporting your jersey to school. Its something to do to avoid being shot by the real thugs. The thugs who dont have time for the gym.

Well said sir. Crawford is a true champ. Broner is a true chump. That's the difference. On another note, some people really do not like to see a confident black athlete like Crawford. Somehow the show boating makes him a thug I guess? Smh

[soul_survivor]

this coming from a guy who refused to throw punches, smh

[iloveboxing2]

Crawford is an excellent boxer but they can say goodbye to Pacman, that fight ain't happening. I'd like to see Spence/Thurman/Brook vs. Crawford, they should make this fights.

[richardt]

I dont like him anymore, I dont like the Broner types ( thugs - street types )

In WHAT way are you comparing Crawford to Broner???

Postol won this 115-111.

Go watch it again. The crowd influenced things, cheering for shorts that never even connected. Apart from the flash knockdowns, Crawford was missing almost everything and being countered.

Boxing is a joke these days.

Lmfao that's a good one.
