SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium - Christian Horner has defended Max Verstappen from criticism after the Belgian Grand Prix, saying the Dutchmans driving was on the edge but within the rules.Verstappen;s driving is the subject of much debate after the race of Spa-Francorchamps, having been involved in a first-corner collision with both Ferraris before a spate of incidents during the race. After the race Kimi Raikkonen suggested Verstappen is only going to reign in his aggression when he has an accident, with the pair again coming to blows at the Les Combes chicane.?Mercedes boss Toto Wolff also weighed into the issue, labelling Verstappens approach?refreshing but dangerous. Red Bull team boss Horner admitted Verstappens driving was on the edge of what was acceptable but pointed out the stewards found no reason to investigate his driving during the race.Speaking about the criticism, Horner said: Im surprised that Totos commenting on something thats got nothing to do with him, but I think it was firm, it was on the edge, he got away with it today, the Stewards were happy with it. So if there were to be an issue or a conflict of any rules Im sure [FIA steward] Danny Sullivans an experienced guy, he would have called them up or [race director] Charlie Whiting would have reported it to the Stewards.There was no action from the Stewards, when he looked back at it, it was on the edge, and obviously he got away with it today. Im sure hell have a look at it and learn for future races.After qualifying second, Verstappen looked best placed to challenge Nico Rosberg for the race victory. His incident with Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel immediately dropped him out of contention.Horner does not think any one driver was to blame for the collision.When you have three cars going for one place I think Sebastian on the outside squeezed the two too much, he probably didnt realise Max was up the inside and that gave Kimi nowhere to go. I think that one was a racing incident but probably triggered by the fact that Sebastian on the outside came across perhaps a little too aggressively, Max had everything under control he wasnt going to undershoot.You can see that Kimi was aware that he was up the inside into the corner, for Kimi there was nothing he could do, obviously it was a racing incident triggered maybe by the outside car taking quite an aggressive cut into the corner.Asked if Verstappens aggression was a sign of him playing up to the massive Dutch crowd in attendance, Horner said: No not at all, yesterday the strategy point, the preferred strategy from the strategist was to go with the tyre that he took. I opened it up as a choice because the more risk was to try to get through qualifying on the other tyre, he did a great performance in qualifying and an unbelievable lap yesterday. The start wasnt great, he recovered into the first turn, he got chalked... Obviously theres a lot of focus on the move with Kimi, but bar that hes driven very well all weekend. 32 Oz Wide Mouth Water Bottle Wholesale . However, he did make them miss him a little less.

Everybody kept saying I was running from him, but that wasnt true. I asked for the fight.I feel like I get better every fight. Viktor Postol is a great champion and he was dodged for a reason, but I aint the type to duck and dodge anyone.The victory was huge for Crawford (29-0, 20 KOs). Going into the bout, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum said the winner would be one of two leading candidates, along with welterweight titleholder Jessie Vargas (27-1, 10 KOs), to land a pay-per-view main event against Pacquiao, who is coming out of a brief retirement, on Nov. 5 at the Thomas & Mack Center.Postol had no answers for Crawford on Saturday.I thought it was a good fight between two technicians, but he was quicker than me, Postol said through a translator. He is one of the best fighters in the world. I just didnt have the answers for him.Freddie Roach, Postols trainer, said: He was just too fast for us. I was surprised how fast and how good he was. Im very impressed with his talent.Crawford took time to gloat over the win, praising his trainer, Brian McIntyre.Freddie Roach and Postol said that Freddie would outcoach my coach, but you tell em who got outcoached tonight, Crawford said.?Added McIntyre: The game plan was to keep Postols legs moving, and that took away his jab and right hand. And they told me I wasnt on Freddie Roachs level. ... I had the better fighter.The fight began slowly as both men looked to get a sense of each other. But Postol, who is 5-foot-11 and held a 3-inch height advantage, appeared to tower over Crawford, who struggled to find his range early. Crawford, 28, of Omaha, Nebraska, fired plenty of jabs, but virtually all of them missed because he could not get inside the longer Postol.After three technical rounds, the action heated up in the fourth, when Crawford seemed to hurt Postol, 32, of Ukraine, with a hard left hand to the head, bringing to life the pro-Crawford crowd, which began to chant, Omaha! Omaha!Crawford, who retained his title for the third time, appeared to have figured out Postol by the fifth round.dddddddddddd He landed a left hand that forced Postol (28-1, 12 KOs) to touch the mat with his right knee for a knockdown. Later in the round, Crawford landed a powerful left hand that sent him into the ropes and forced him to touch his gloves to the mat to keep his balance; referee Tony Weeks called another knockdown.After the round, McIntyre told Crawford, He aint got no legs no more, he aint got no legs after that knockdown.The fifth round was the turning point of the fight. Before that round, all three judges had the fight 38-38. Then Crawford won all but one round on one card the rest of the fight.I caught my rhythm and I knew everything I would do from there on (after the fifth round), Crawford said. Hes the type of fighter that has to be set to punch, so I kept his feet moving, kept him off balance. Every time I connect with a solid shot, I was hurting him.Crawford, who switched from right-handed to southpaw early in the fight, rocked Postol with a left hand in the sixth round -- another clear round Crawford won.I went southpaw and took his jab away, Crawford said. I jabbed over his jab. My right hand caught his jab.Crawford continued to dominate at the start of the eighth round, when he landed a clean right hand to drive Postol back. Later in the round, he knocked Postol off balance with a hard jab and then landed another flurry of shots, including a left hand, that nearly dropped him.Crawford nearly dropped Postol again in the ninth round with a left hand.?A frustrated Postol, who made $675,000, resorted to rabbit punching in the 11th round.

HBO will replay the pay-per-view fight next Saturday at 10:15 p.m. ET/PT.Crawford was going for a knockout in the final round as he strafed Postol, who knocked out Lucas Matthysse in the 10th round to win a vacant title in a big upset in October and was making his first defense.He told me come on, so I said, Lets go and he retreated, Crawford said.After the fight, talk quickly turned to the possible showdown with Pacquiao (58-6-2, 38 KOs), the Filipino great and boxings only eight-division titleholder.If Bob Arum wants that fight and my coaches want that fight, thats something well talk about later, Crawford said. I let my coaches handle that. I am a fighter and I will fight anybody. Im happy and Im about to go on vacation. We not worried about Manny Pacquiao right now.But Crawford made one thing clear -- if the fight happens, he will insist that Pacquiao, who has been fighting as a welterweight for years, come down in weight to challenge him for his title belts at junior welterweight.It will be at 140, Crawford said. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
