Ukrainian boxer Viktor Postol suffered the first defeat and lost his title of world champion in the light Welterweight division.
From the first seconds of the fight to clarify further the picture – Crawford gave the Postol the center of the ring, took the left of the bar and began to wait for the right moment to counterattack. Ukrainian through Jeb tried to go to the optimum distance, however, the fleet-footed Crawford no problem avoiding undesired situations for myself.
The first serious aggravation of Crawford occurred in the fifth round referee in the ring was forced to double-count the Postol knockouts, although in fact no damage to Victor’s blows had brought.
With the approach of the championship rounds, it became apparent that only a knockout will allow the Postol to unify the belts. Ukrainian only in the last round, pounced on Crawford, and he avoided exchanges, knowing that the victory on points he’s already in my pocket – 118:107, 118:107 and 117:108 in favour of the American.
After the defeat of the Viktor Postol Vasyl Lomachenko for the first time became the only Ukrainian world Boxing champion. Until the end of the year to double
