I think it'll be who steps up and handles the unexpected better. I have a feelin that crawfords going to come in bigger than postol and that will allow him to throw with postol while perhaps taking some ugly shots. He might not look as good doing it but i somehow see him giving better than gets, mostly because of the weight. I also have a hunch that we could see postol turn out to be a one hit wonder type. Not sure why...
Interesting take. At a glance it would appear that Postol is bigger and he does have a longer reach by 4 inches and is almost 6 feet tall but Crawford was coming in at 152/153 when he was a lightweight. I just think Postol has been simmering while all the stars get all the hype. I don't take all that much out of that Lucas fight on how he matches up style wise with Crawford. As you noted Matthysse reduced his chances by looking for the one shot and didn't seem to have a plan B. Crawford has a pretty full tool box. I just have this feeling that Crawfords mind is a little in the clouds and the height, reach and unorthodox style of Postol is going to win on this night.
