Crawford Knew Postol Would Beat Matthysse, Wants Him

Posted by: Keith Idec on 10/22/2015 .


By Keith Idec

When asked about potential opponents, Terence Crawford mentioned Viktor Postol’s name second, right after Manny Pacquiao.

“It’d be good,” Crawford told BoxingScene.com regarding a fight against Postol. “It’d be for The Ring magazine belt, the lineal title.”

Postol was about a 3-1 underdog entering his fight against Argentine power puncher Lucas Matthysse, but the unbeaten Ukrainian out-boxed and dropped him, before eventually making Matthysse quit on one knee in the 10th round Oct. 3 at StubHub Center in Carson, Calif.

The undefeated Crawford felt all along that Postol (28-0, 12 KOs) would beat Matthysse (37-4, 34 KOs, 1 NC), so he wasn’t the least bit surprised when it happened in a HBO “Boxing After Dark” main event.

“He did good,” said Crawford, who, like Pacquiao and Postol, is promoted by Bob Arum’s Top Rank Inc. “He did what he was supposed to do. Being that Matthysse couldn’t handle the boxing abilities, he did what he was supposed to do.

“If you look at Matthysse’s record, you see that everybody that really boxed Matthysse, they beat him – instead of getting in the trenches and trading with him, for him to land big shots.”


Crawford (26-0, 18 KOs), a consensus top-10 fighter on most mythical pound-for-pound lists, is scheduled to return to the ring Saturday night in his native Omaha, Nebraska. The 28-year-old 140-pound champion will defend his WBO junior welterweight title against Montreal’s Dierry Jean (29-1, 20 KOs) in a 12-round main event at CenturyLink Center (HBO; 9:30 p.m. ET/PT).

So Canelo is going to pull a Broner for this..it is what it is...i know how that plays out

How?


Canelo has put this on record before....he's not fighting at anything heavier than 155 or anything lighter than 154 (since the Floyd fight):mjpls:


We win the Middleweight Belt at 155, and become the NEW Lineal Middleweight Champion of the World....then we defend it at the same weight we got it at:ahh:


Hell, the WBC is in agreement with that:sas2:








So, with that being said, and the WBC Pres in agreement....tell GGG to put on his "Mexican Style" sauna suit and meet us at 155:banderas:

In a way I'm happy he did this cuz I don't want him to fight GGG but it's bad for boxing, but I see GGG going down to 155 to fight... he can easily make that wieght.
GGG has one of the more impressive and effective workout routines in boxing plus discipline so I'm sure it won't be a struggle.

Good. Meet us at 155 and we'll show GGG what "Mexican Style" REALLY is:demonic:


The look on GGG's face, when he walks out 1st to nothing but "Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!" from the same Mexican fanbase he has been pandering too over the last couple years, and then the Mexican Ric Flair is gonna come down in a glittering robe decorated in the colors of the Mexican flag, to nothing but deafening screams and chants of "Ca-nel-o! Ca-nel-o! Ca-nel-o!".....the look on GGG's face is gonna be priceless:banderas:


We gotta make sure we handle biz against Cotto first, but :whew: just the visual of this happening is :ohlawd: and :mjlol:

:mjlol: you dont get it or you dont want to see it..canelo has almost 13 lbs to lose for this catchweight..which means most likely he walks around very high...prolly small cruiser...in contrast we had GGG who was within 5 lbs during his last 30 day weigh in with lemieux...one makes weight comfortably, the other is a known drainer who has fought MW catchweight since losing to Floyd...canelo would benefit greatly by coming in at 160 if he faced GGG and listen to his body....pulling a broner = setting stipulations and barely being able to meet them yourself leading to failure..thats how i see this (i.e. if canelo gets by cotto)

These dudes live on another planet man 155 will be made easier by the guy who is 34 yrs old and has been 160 over 13 years vs the 24 yr old who fought there a few months ago. :russ:

Bout to bookmark this page I don't want to hear shyt about weight drained in regards to ggg vs Cotto or Canelo as an excuse.
