    :yep Boy, given the events of the last week and with the benefit of hindsight, Crawford must feel pretty silly over his duck of Mark Davis in late 2012/early 2013 back when they were both rising undefeated but unknown prospects. (though, in fairness, they were about equally successful in the amateurs, where Davis may have even had the brighter reputation with his style better suiting that arena - so it may well have looked too high risk for the reward from Crawford's POV then, although it now it clear that he would've destroyed him and obtained at least one nice-looking W on paper before Prescott...)

    Did anyone predict Farenas via stoppage?

    Mark Davis had a youtube account where he uploaded a vid where he was watching Yaundale Evans get knocked out by Fortuna and was laughing and talking all kinds of **** and making fun of him getting KO'd, so I thought it was really funny watching him get destroyed tonight.

    :huh A lot of people did.

    Even those picking Davis were like "...but if he is KTFO it won't be a shock..."

    He picked up too many bad habits toying with journeymen, staying in the pocket willingly eating one punch of ten and working in flashy body combos.

    Oh, no! I KNEW something bad was going to happen on his card! I think they call this a self-fulfilling prophecy! :twisted: Or some kind of prophecy! Dammit!

    Davis is a product of bad trainers and bad match-ups. He clearly has skills, and to be honest.. he has a pretty damn good chin... it's just you should never be taking those kind of shots that often. He seriously has almost no idea how to properly block shots... watching him with his hand in front of face and taking shots to the side of the head... even after taking those shots before.. show's he just didn't instinctively know how to use proper defense.

    He couldn't even fight on the inside, every time they get close he would throw absolutely nothing and look puzzled.
