There weren't many Postol 'cheerleaders' anyway. Only 7 people out of 50 or so picked him in the prediction contest, and he was a sizeable betting underdog.

This is what most expected.

I'm not sure on the exact breakdown of supporters for this fight, but I didn't get the sense that most people were vehemently behind Postol, and the overwhelming consensus was that Crawford would probably win. I think you inflate the support that people give European boxers, which leads you to needlessly complain about it and shout 'in your face' when they lose.

I think Crawford is in a class of his own at 140, so I'd like to see him move up, although many of the top guys are with Haymon so that presumably rules them out. I guess there's always a Manny fight, and I'd back Crawford in that.

118.107. 2 of the cards for crawford

Brilo, you're the man.

Saw from the 7th round onwards. Crawford is quality although we all knew that before. We just didn't know how good Postol could be and the answer is - no where near Crawford.

What's next for him?

pac man by the sounds of it

Terence Crawford is the real deal , beats manny for me

I like Crawford but he should let pac slip a bit more.

Manny is still a very dangerous man unless you're mayweather manny still whoops alotta fighters.

I like Crawford over Manny already. Screw letting Pac decline more, let's get it on now.

Yes he is i agree 100%

But Manny is all time bad ass lol

He still too good for most 140lbers.

Sensational performance by Crawford. He just showed another dimension, very effective stick and move ability. With that performance Crawford is unbeatable at 140. I cant see anyone that could challenge him. Moving up to 147 for Pacquiao is not far fetched. I have no doubt he would beat Vargas.

Postol is an excellent fighter - Crawford made him look ordinary.
Unless 147 somehow diminishes him, he beats PacMan with similar ease.

Manny is good against certain types of fighters. Against cerebral boxers he's not quite as effective.

Manny has only two clear defeats in the last 10 yrs and they were against two all time great boxers.

Like i Crawford should waite just a bit longer if he's looking to take out Manny.

They could've fought in 2014 and Crawford would've beaten him. Crawford is ready to beat Manny now. He's been ready.

Can't stand that Colonel Parker wanker he does my nut in

Sounds like Cliff from cheers is calling the fight.

Postol was poor hardly landed a punch. Feinted far too much. But didn't matter Crawford is at a different level altogether.

Scoring wasn't wide enough for me, complete shutout. Crawford looked superb, he's got everything.

That was dross. Fair play Crawford did what he had to do- much like fury against Wlad but it was a total anti climax.

Wasn't a great fight to watch but I love watching Crawford so I'm not too fussed. He looks to have it all in his locker and made pretty easy work of a good operator. At the end he looked as if he could've went another 12. I think he whips Pacquiao next up if it happens.

Crawford was too dominant for me to really enjoy the fight,it was an easy nights work for him really,reminded me of the Beltran fight,even the 2 KDs he scored were a bit messy,still you cant take nothing away from him though he never really gave Postol a sniff,Viktor's style was just too basic for him to have success

Valdez was impressive again though,he really gave Rueda a working over,great display of mixing the shots to the head and body,another great addition to the featherweight division

Valdez looks the business but that other dude wasn't very good at all. He looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights even before the bell went.

How do you see Crawford v Pacquiao going if it happens?

Can't wait to watch this when its on youtube, I do have BN at home but don't seem to get signal for it at my new place
