Crawford too fast for Postol. 3-0 Crawford

2-2, Crawford seems to be coming alive now, not sure Postol has enough in the clip

RJJ having to ask if there's a 3 KD rule in effect is probably yet another piece of evidence that he needs to stop fighting immediately.

Second KD was really legit Postol looked like a bobblehead after that punch. First one looks like they might've hit knees.

Crawford vs. Manny (or anyone that can hit him enough to break his bike) would be a fun fight.

Without the knockdowns, this would be a progressively more boring fight. At least Lara throws two punches while he runs.

Crawford putting on a clinic. Postol can't get set to throw a decent punch.

Crawford's movement and feinting is remarkable. Just looks so good in there.

The styles are all wrong here, TC is to VP as VP was to LM.

Not that it's a contest, but as a fan, give me Loma's movement over Crawford's all day. Loma moves and pivots for angles and to set up offense. Crawford is just throwing a jab and moving out of range as quickly as possible much of the time.

Postol isn't exactly giving him a ton to work with, but ugh.

Crawford doing his best imitation of Mayweather.

Still a shutout. Postol needs a KO.

Not excited to see the numbers from this. 150,000 buys seems like a real possibility.

Unless you're Mayweather, you have to show some vulnerability to be a huge draw. Invincible fighters are uninteresting to watch.

I dunno, I feel like Crawford is doing it differently than Lara or Floyd or Rigondeaux. He's mixing up flurries with movement and he's throwing shots that are hurting Postol at times too.

You could say it's like Lara trout or one of Floyd's earlier dominant fights or Rigondeaux Donaire, but that's a huge compliment for TC to be dominating so clearly.

100k buys would be good for this. 150k would be fantastic.

I hope we hit six figures, we might see Manny Crawford.

Crawford kind of reminds me of Manny tonight. Obviously much lower output (throwing less an getting hit with less), but just the constant purposeful movement, the lightning fast, powerful punches from all angles...

Crawford is clearly the better fighter and in total control, but he's taking zero risks. That's a smart way to fight, but it's also awful viewing. Try and track the space Crawford is covering between punches. Two rounds ago he went from 12 o'clock, all the way down the 7 o'clock (blue corner) and back to 9 before throwing. That's just boring to watch.

Also worth noting just how "one note" Postol is. Crawford obv has a hand in neutralizing him, but he's just got nothing for him.

I don't see a punch track on my feed, but I wouldn't be surprised to see rounds where Postol landed close to zero punches in a round.

Still a shutout.

Wow, taking a point off?? Crawford's movement will cause a lot of hits like that.

Wait is this Crawford's PPV debut? For some reason I thought he'd been on PPV at least a time or two before.

Well, Weeks took a point away pretty quickly.

Guess it was right though. Can't let that go. Pretty clearly intentional.

No way RT, he reached all the way around and just nailed him in the back of the head, that wasn't incidental. It's frustration and a lack of discipline, and right after the first one.

Only saw it live but Crawford was clinching quite a bit so it seemed like it was another situation like that. If he threw after Crawford had already turned then whatever, take a point.
