ESPN: Terence Crawford vs. Julius Indongo & Oleksandr Gvozdyk vs. Craig Baker RBR.

Good...action, for a while, at any rate. I still think Indongo's better than many people think; but if I had any doubts about how good Crawford was (and I didn't, really), they've been erased. Dude figures out difficult puzzles Just. Like. That.

He reigns at 140 for as long as he wants...and if he goes up to 147, he probably reigns there for a while, too.

 

I just don't know how people can see how an elite boxer moves and fights and think an MMA fighter has any chance in hell to beat one.

 

Goes to show how corrupt the boxing orginizations are. Indongo getting a crack and winning belts from guys that shouldn't have been champs.

Crawford is a true champ and it showed how vast the skill was between him and Indongo. Indongo was competitive in just the first rnd when they were feeling each other out and warming up. After Crawford warmed up it was game over.

 

Crawford, who is normally a slow starter, came out slipping and timing Indongo's wild punches from the start. Crawford started throwing with intent in 2 and ended it with a gut shot in 3.

 

Yeah that Postol win was way better in retrospect

 

No shocker here whatsoever.

Once Bud goes to 147, he'll take that over, too. Spence is the only decent threat to him there.

 

Indongo is a very awkward fighter and did land a few good shots on Crawford so credit to him, but with those telegraphed punches, the shorter, sharper counters were always going to win it. Crawford's timing was only going to improve as the fight went on.

Crawford jumps to P4P no.2 until Mid September. History maker.

 

Crawford is the second p4p behind ward imo... The Garcia fight just became one of the biggest fights in boxing to be made!! A true megafight worth my PPV money indefinitely!

 

Yup. Didn't see the Iceman derping his way into counters like that.

 

Crawford definitely outclassed him. Indongo knew from the first Crawford was another level. I thought Indongo quit too. I saw a glancing punch but I'll have to watch it again.

 

I wouldn't go that far, totally different animals.

 

If Crawford moves up now, he's ducking jack catterall

 

I think a Garcia-Crawford fight would be even better than Canelo-GGG

 

Bud would be a small WW and some of these guys are weighing 160+ fight night Father Bob knows what he's doing. He's not making PPV money just yet that's why he can really only sell in Nebraska.

 

Crawford's going to have a long uninterrupted reign IMO. 140 he's the only elite fighter. 147 has no elite fighters. 154 doesn't either. 160 has elite GGG, but Crawford isn't going there. I suppose Garcia could come up in weight to fight him, but he's just too damn small for Crawford.
