Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor: I Want To Do a Number on Postol, Knock Him Out!

Postol looked SHOT in his last fight against nobody. And he lost it too by the way.
Unless Postol somehow brought his soul back lost against Crawford and cleared his rust in the last fight he is a walker.

It’s only his 13th fight. This is Taylor’s opportunity to introduce himself to the world. Definitely the hardest fight of his career and no one can say Taylor is taking an easy route.

Last year I'd have taken postol by ko, but he didn't look any good last time around against a nobody.

Surprised how many people have Taylor winning!

I'd love to see taylor win, but Postol has operated at a higher level.
But taylor is a class act... win or lose this is briliant match making

I'm not surprised by how many are predicting a Taylor win .. but I am surprised that so many are predicting he will win by KO.

He is a class act, and on a real roll, but Postol will be a difficult man to stop. Taylor on points is my prediction.

Taylor got this in the bag

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Taylor gets the ko, he punches with spite and tries to hurt you, much like an Errol Spence....

I just don't see Postol coping with the handspeed at all, he loses when they trade every time, and he doesn't have the footspeed to escape Taylor for 12 rounds. I think Taylor does him outside, inside, mid range.....

Postol is susceptible to Taylor's best punch, the counter left hook, Crawford landed that frequently.... it's a bad style match up for Postol.

If Taylor stops him then that’s a major statement.

I won't exactly be surprised if Taylor stops Postol either, I'm just not expecting him to.

Crawford was also faster than Postol and can crack, put Postol's experience and durability saw him through to the end of the fight. If Taylor can stop him while Crawford couldn't, that will be a real statement.

Prepare for a ton of "Bud took that boy's soul" type comments from the US fans if it happens!

I believe Taylor is a better inside fighter and body puncher than Crawford, more explosive, he will deliver more damage than Crawford did, a more energy-sapping kind of fight, as Taylor is far more aggressive.....and obviously Postol is a little older now and already beaten.

I just can't see Postol surviving the Hydro and Taylor, some atmosphere in there, and far more hostile than it will be against Crawford.

Hey, those comments are par for the course. Taylor, if he stops Postol now after 12 fights will send out a statement.... but styles make fights, he's a level or two below Crawford right now, Taylor needs experience, and has to show more styles to be judged near that level.

True. He's still a novice. I just hope the idiot faction here don't start talking about him being "exposed" and "another UK hype-job" etc, if he doesn't stop Postol after all the KO predictions.
