Terence Crawford signs contract for July 23 fight with Viktor Postol

[Kirkland Laing]

Crawford beats 2016 Manny like a gong. Not as bad as Manny-Oscar but comprehensive.

I honestly think he walks over Manny at this point. Patient enough to torture you and mean enough to not be mesmerized by moment and end it. Arum is giving Manny that atta boy speech right now

Another boring cunt that never gives fans a decent fight for their money.

Tough crowd

I feel like some boxing "fans" still don't understand counter punchers. Postol wasn't just being lazy or being dumb and not coming forward. He would get countered every time he tried to throw a punch. Boxers get hurt just like the rest of us. If you throw a jab, and you get countered, and it really hurts you, you will stop throwing that punch.

Floyd did it to almost all of his opponents. I get annoyed when people don't understand this concept. There is a reason a fighter stops throwing. Postol is a very good professional boxer. He isn't stupid. He obviously understood that coming forward and swarming was a bad idea.

Some really embarrassing comments. It was the best fighting the best! That is the point of boxing for those of you that don't get it.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I actually thought I was a purist until last night. Just boring old-man-with-good-legs type tactics. Running, holding, spoiling. All good for the win and gives him a seasoned vet look but I can't appreciate that style unless it's coming from someone who is actually old as fuck.

[Dia bando]

Sorry chaps still not a Crawford fan slick like a snake.
Yep a good fighter but will he be a super star a bit to go yet.!!
PAC is getting on a bit be interesting Crawford on points I think.

It was an underwhelming fight, but mainly down to it being noncompetitive. The only real adversity I've seen Crawford in was against Gamboa, and he knocked him out the same round. The guy has so many looks and and can really tear it up when he has to, it will be fun to watch him.

[Gandalf]

I thought it was a dull fight with Crawford fighting smart but cagey and Postol not really throwing any punches. I disagree with those who think Crawford beats Manny. In fact I struggle to see Crawford posing much of a problem versus the Pac that fought Bradley last time out. Pac is old and past his best, but I can see him outpointing Crawford who I can see being put down and hurt early. I was not impressed with Crawford. He is slick and fast, but he hasn't faced a Manny Pacquiao before.

[Gandalf]

Yeah, this was such a dull fight. I hope Pacquiao stops him and then retires for good.

Edit: I think on reflection that Crawford clowning and mocking his very limited opponent and running for the entire last round really left a sour taste as well. He's clearly a good fighter, but there was no good reason to be clowning like that with the mini Broner routine when many fans have had to already shell out PPV for what was a very mediocre matchup. It just left me not liking him very much.

I agree. Crawford will easily beat pac and I will be loving it

Yep. Impressive patient/mean combination. You know the mean bit from his outside the ring antics but he looks experienced beyond his years inside too.

Arum had a hell of a night with Crawford and Valdez.
