This. Indongo never seemed to get over his nerves. Indongo also doesn't seemed to be used to getting hit clean. Crawford also beat him fighting as a southpaw, which I have to admit was very impressive. As soon as Crawford landed that first uppercut flush Indongo went into panic mode.
If you can't learn nothing new at 34 then might as well get toe tagged at the mortuary and jump into a pinewood casket after being mummified.
That's the same feeling that slowly creeps up on a chess player who is used to beating duffers with simple tactics and suddenly realizes that this time he's in above his head since whatever he's trying no longer works.
Indongo isn't as bad as Bud made him look. That's just what can happen when an awkward fighter can't fool their opponent, and that opponent is a high level technician who can counter. Prime Darchynian was better than Indongo & took awkward to as high a level as that style could be taken these days...and Donaire just made him look awful the first time out, too.
I posted right here that Indongo can't fight, he is so slow that a turtle can beat him to the punch! Indongo was off balance, his punches are very wide, this was a set up fight to make Crawford look good. Indongo looked like he came off the street, a person without any boxing lessons....................sad for boxing. Waste of time. Crawford will not fight Thurman, or Porter, but he should fight Spence, the easiest fight at 147..............
Indongo aint that good at all. I'm surprised he hasn't been banged before Crawford fight...His punch delivery is the worst of all champs in the game today
It could have been worse for the fans. Promoters could have hyped it up as a true challenge for Crawford and had the fans paying their good money to see on PPV only to witness that ridiculous three-round debacle.
Eduard Troyanovsky, 25-0, IBF titlist... Dongo KO'd him in the 1st. And then Ricky Burns to scoop up the WBA title. That's it. I see a badly faded Kaizer Mabuza on there as well. Not to discredit him, I'd pick him over most at 140 right now, so I dunno, that's how some African fighters fight and some of them to good success.
No, he had previously impressed the fans with the following KO of an elite fighter named Eduard Troyanovsky who had been previously undefeated. That is how Indongo won the IBF IBO belts. This content is protected
He's very very slow, quick can not ever be mentioned along with one who not only telegraphs every move but also can't reach the target with anything not considered very very slow
He wasn't folded up, that body shot was routine and shouldn't ever cause a kd never mind end such an important fight. Indoungo showed up for the check and to not get hurt, simple as that
I just saw the fight and he didn't look slow to me. Crawford just dealt with him the way a PfP fighter should deal with his opponents.
