Crawford - Postol, thoughts? predictions?

Should be a good fight. I think Postol hangs with him but Crawford pulls away late. He is much more versatile of a boxer and has put that versatility to use in his past four fights.
I love Crawford but I think this could be a much tougher fight than -630 you need to lay with him against Postol. Postol is a veteran, beat Matthysse who is probably a better fighter than anybody Crawford has had a chance to beat (although Crawford has fought overall better competition), has Freddy Roach in his corner, probably a good amateur background and is much taller than Crawford. I think Crawford has the great combination of speed, tactics and good power but his best attribute might be his tenacity and meanness. Ultimately, I think Crawford wins late with a KO as he beats up Postol in the body in an offensive, great fight. Postol's questionable defense with Crawford's all-around game gets Crawford to 29-0. Freddy Roach gets a front row spot watching Crawford and deciding if it makes sense to put Pacquio in with Crawford in the future. I think Crawford would whoop Pac-man but that could just be the Crawford fan in me.
Postol has an uppercut that has become deadly under Freddie Roach. Haven't seen Crawford on the canvas yet and don't expect to on Saturday either.
Postol has been running his mouth saying Lucas Matthysse is a better fighter and Postol stopped him in the 10th round. We all say what happened the last time an opponent ran his mouth about Crawford.
First PPV I've ordered in a long time.
