Crawford wins easily, Postol was only an okay amateur, Crawford was elite in the ams and nearly as big as Postol

Whats good breadman? Congrats on the impressive win and hope to see j-rock in a big fight next. 1st off what are your thoughts on prospects Caleb Plant and Antoine Douglas? Looking at all the young guys coming up at 154 and 160 who do you think will be best in 2 yrs? What are your thoughts on the mayweather ppv numbers which I heard are around the 360k mark? Will these poor numbers effect ppv in the future? Lastly what are your picks in these head to head to matchups Broner vs Iman, spence vs Sammy Vasquez, jesse hart vs j leon love, Adonis Stevenson vs jean pascal, Anthony Joshua vs deontay wilder?
Caleb Plant seems to be a very good prospect. He has size, charisma and athleticism but he has a long way to go. I never get too excited about a prospect anymore until I see them in tough.Antoine Douglas is not a prospect anymore. He’s a top 15 contender and in my opinion the best American Middleweight under 25. Douglas is no joke. He’s been in tough with veterans, he’s beaten undefeated prospects…. Douglas has been brought along great. I don’t know if he can become champion because Middleweight is top heavy but he will be a solid contender for the next few years.I didn’t hear the Mayweather vs Berto PPV numbers were 360k. All I can say is wow! I have to do some research to verify that before I comment on it.Imam, Spence, Hart, 50/50 and Joshua.

What's good Bread?? Once again, big ups to you on what you're doing in the game. What do you think of a matchup with Jesse Vargas and Erroll Spence?? Vargas is feeling salty about what took place in his fight against Bradley. That would give him a shot to prove he's on the elite level as well as Spence. I think Spence beats him up and wins by TKO in the 8th or 9th. What are your thoughts on Bradley splitting up with Diaz?? I think the Switch to Atlas will be very interesting. I think Tim will beat Rios but will get hurt several times in the process. I think Bradley's best days are behind him, but I always root for him because of his grittiness and fighters spirit. I'm going to go against most opinions and go with Cotto against Alvarez. (Tough pick). I think this will be a case of the crafty vet schooling the the young strong lion. But if this fight is remotely close, it will go to Alvarez definitely. JMW is getting even more interesting. I'm sure Julian we be in the mix and will be one of the best, if not thee best, out of the bunch.
Bread’s Response: I think Errol Spence vs Jesse Vargas would be a good fight. Vargas has been deep in fights several times and fighting Tim Bradley will help him cope with the level. I think Spence beats him but he will have to earn it. Spence’s opposition has not been on the level of Vargas’s.I think Tim Bradley has the right to choose who he wants to train him. I also think Joel Diaz has some valid points on why they split up. Wife/girlfriend managers is a subject I won’t touch….I think Tim Bradley can handle a strong personality like Teddy Atlas. Most of these fighters were not raised in a disciplined environment. They have no idea what respect is. That’s why most over talk their elder trainers. Tim Bradley was raised by a disciplinarian father who instilled respect and discipline. Bradley will be able to handle Atlas’s harsh ways. A guy like Bradley is a coach’s dream. I know character and Tim Bradley is full of great character when it comes to boxing.The ironic thing is I was picking Rios to beat Tim before I knew about the trainer switch. Rios was lights out against Alvarado in their 3rd fight. He had a snappyness about him. I think Rios will hover over Bradley, he’s about 3 inches taller. I think his left uppercut with be the difference. Uppercuts cause Facial damage and Tim has been swelling up lately. Bradley wings his shots in order to get power and Rios throws short deadly punches with no wind up. I’m going against the grain because usually the urban rhythm gives Mexican fighters fits. Usually the better boxer wins these match ups. But my gut tells me that Rios clips Timmy late.
