2. Watch the Hands

Viktor Postol has two bad habits.
The first is that he drops his left hand far too often when firing off combinations. Lucas Matthysse caught onto this and landed numerous right hands to the jaw.
The second bad habit is that Postol fires to the body whilst standing straight up. Most fighters will drop down when firing to the body for protection. This allows them to block punches easier, as well as creating an awkward angle for the other fighter to fire back. Postol however, stands straight up when he goes to the body, leaving his head completely exposed.
If Crawford can time when to fire off his heavier punches, especially when Postol is showing one of these habits, he has a much better chance of taking away the offense of Postol.
