    Just have a feeling he catches Indongo cold early-ish. Could definitely go late though.

    Excuse for what? :risas3: You talked **** to me, I responded. I have nothing to do until after the Crawford/Postol fight.

    Yeah, I think there have been three boxing matches and two superbowls. Math isn't my strong suit, but that just about qualifies as "every sporting event."

    I hope it goes early. I'm supposed to meet friends for lunch at 1pm(it's 12:15pm here), but I have a feeling it's going to be eerily similar to Postol/Crawford. Might just leave after the 8th-9th if it's the same type of performance.

    Indongo has about as much chance here as Lemieux did versus Golovkin. Tad less, actually.

    His chin is a bit suspect. I haven't seen enough to label it glass or bad, but the Karpency KD could still be in his head, though he sure didn't show it in the Gonzalez fight. Also Ward made a good point, fighters like Baker sometimes close their eyes and go for the home-run, Gvozdyk did what he had to do at the end of the day.

    Listen Baker was supposed to lose to Savigne, he knocked the **** out brutally, he was supposed to lose to undefeated talented Aussie prospect Steve Lovett, he brutally knocked him the **** out too, yes Edwin Rodriguez KO'd Baker in three, it ws a ridiculous stoppage IMO, but Edwin fights like a friggin re****ed kamikaze pilot, look what that **** got him against Top Dog, Gvozdyk took his time, broke him down with pitty pats, when he saw him wearing down, then he opened up and became the mother****ing Nail.:deal:

    There's nothing wrong with playing it safe if your end goal is to eventually knock your opponent the **** out.

    Indongo is a hell of a story, but I just can't see Mayorga-Forrest repeating itself here.

    Says the guy who wrote LOL in caps in front of his own insult. I guess LOL makes what you wrote funny right?

    Indongo's aggression and toughness is going to get him knocked out! This isn't going to be a Postol kind of fight, this is going to be fun, could be wild and sloppy from the start.

    Crawford has a 3 inch reach advantage despite being 4 inches shorter. He should be able to neutralize Indongo's height.

    Language isn't my strong suit, but I think my post qualifies as an "exaggeration".
