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

Nothing glancing about that shot and it wasn't the first time that shot landed.

 

its a 2 man race for #1 at welter, spence and crawford. crawford looked bigger than indongo, which surprised me, so i dont think he is small for welter. i think spence is too strong for him.

 

I think he has a real challenge at 140 in Regis Prograis.

 

Crawford would make mince meat of Garcia. But still reckon catterall could have buds number

 

His mic skills are trash, but come on, give him some credit for the in-ring work at least? Three minutes of feel-out (during which a fair number of flush counters did land), and then a KD, and the finishing touches within 3 via giant debilitating shovel upper-hook on the body. Can't really ask for more in terms of entertainment value or efficiency.

 

This idea that Crawford is small is ridiculous to me. He's not a small guy. Not at all. He's got a WW frame and has been boiling down for years. He's bigger than Indongo for sure.

 

I think Spence still beats Crawford at 147 but everyone else Crawford will beat (including Thurman).

 

Bud is like Whitaker/Duran/Hearns rolled into one. Making American boxing interesting again. Whew, he's a breath of fresh air man, for real!

 

You gotta be joking. Damaged Brook was outboxing Spence for 5 rounds. Crawford easily coasts to a UD against Spence.

 

I like fighters like that. They don't have the need to try and ham it up for the cameras. Bud is for real.

 

I'm not sure he keeps making 140 though.. 147 by late 2018 early 2019 at the latest if not sooner.

I'd like to see him in with Mikey.. but I don't think it'll happen. Lots of good fights at 147 though... Thurman, Garcia, Figuera, Porter, Spence.

All that's left at 140 is Mikey and Barthelemy.. but I can't stand Barhelemy.

 

If you are calling someone corrupt for letting Indongo get a title shot look no further than the Russians who cherry picked him for Troyan whatever. They overestimated their fighter.

 

Sorry Bud, but beating Indongo ain't **** compared to Ward beating Kovalev.
