    My god, HBO has fallen..

    Crawford vs an unkown guy is not HBO headliner material

    There pushing this guy down our throat, he is a solid talent but not the next Floyd or Sweet Pea as HBO would like to think

    At least give him DeMarco,Baby Bull Diaz, Miguel Vasquez, something like that

    Hbo shot that selves in tha foot banning GB fighters,showtime is kicking there but

    He's fighting on the televised under card and is a talent to see. What's the problem?

    Like you, EC, think Crawford has the most promise of any fighter on the horizon. Cracks with every tool in the arsenal...A brilliant defensive fighter, maintains distance 'n has the poise of a veteran.

    He is very talented. He needs to get a few notable wins then start talking ****. His style will never have mass appeal unfortunately.

    Crawford burned him on a ponzi scheme.

    Klimov's a decent enough boxer who recently outpointed John Molina, so it's not really a bad match-up at all. Be interested to see how Terrance handles this test (and it is a test for the guy to see how he deals with a fighter who has a more extensive skill set than his last two opponents).

    But he's not the main event. This is on the Cotto-D-Rod undercard. Not a bad semifinal for this kind of fight.

    Crawford is worth a watch, but if he weren't associated with Top Rank this fight would belong on FNF.

    Rigo should have been the co-main on this card hands down. Travesty.

    Top Rank need to step up their game, this card should have been:

    Cotto vs Rodriguez
    Crawford vs Gamboa/DeMarco/Abril/vasquez
    Rigondeaux vs Salido
