TERENCE CRAWFORD DOMINATES VIKTOR POSTOL, READY TO FIGHT PACQUIAO BUT ONLY AT 140 POUNDS


PhilBoxing.com




Unbeaten junior welterweight Terence Crawford dominated Viktor Postol to win Postol?s WBC belt to add to his own WBO crown before some 7,000 mostly Crawford fans at the Grand Garden Arena of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Crawford used his skills and quick movement to frustrate Postol who failed to connect with his vaunted jab and completely baffled the Freddie Roach trained Ukranian who Roach had bragged would knock out Crawford.

Crawford said he is willing to fight eight division world champion who is also managed by Top Rank promoter Bob Arum but only at 140 pounds while Pacquiao has regularly fought at welterweight and gets a way out of facing Crawford who is much younger than the Filipino southpaw who is on the edge of 38 years of age by the November 5 date booked by Arum.

It leaves another Arum fighter Jessie Vargas as the most likely opponent for Pacquiao?s return at the Thomas and Mack Center also in Las Vegas. On November 5.

In a post fight interview Crawford said ?I just stuck to what I knew ? boxing. That?s movement and that?s boxing,? as he improved his record to to 29-0 with 20 knockouts. Postol lost for the first time, and now stands at 28-1 with 12 KOs.

Postol?s trainer, Freddie Roach, the seven-time trainer of the year, was more than impressed by Crawford. He said ?Crawford was just too fast, he surprised me with his talent.?

Postol, who was knocked down twice in the fifth round, seemed to be completely at sea over his inability to use his jab, and to connect against Crawford. The frustration often showed and at one point Postol just stopped and stared at Crawford just before the bell rang.

Vargas in his last fight scored a 9th round TKO over Sadam Ali last March 5 after losing to Timothy ?Desert Storm? Bradley by a twelve round unanimous decision on June 27, 2015.

Pacquiao had earlier scored a lopsided 116-110 decision on the scorecards of all three judges in third encounter with Bradley last April 29, 2016 to win the WBO welterweight Interim title.
