Indongo is a tad better than what he showed, but still not very good. He was far too nervous under the bright lights the other night. His own nervous flukyness caused the first, knockdown, and in my opinion, he found a way out and quit.
I wouldn't say Indongo was quick to lay down. That was a helluva body shot that Crawford landed on him. As soon as Crawford hit him, I told my wife that he isn't going to get up. That body shot would have put most 140 pounders down for the count.
dream fight would like to see it though. havent thought about who would win since its not possible. my p4p list. 1. loma/rigo 2. ward 3. chocolito 4. crawford..............at this level of boxing these names are interchangeable .
Okay, He stopped Troyanovsky with an with a wild overhand left and he basically dominated Burns with the same style in which he fought Crawford so my question is: why did you expect more?
Hearns smoked Duran like he was a club fighter too.. It's boxing.. It happens sometimes. Doesn't mean you're bad smh
True he has the ability to hurt an opponent if he lands a punch. The problem is that Indongo has the bad habit of overcommitting to his punches and leaving himself wide open to counters as he did with Crawford. Less technical fighters might not be able to capitalize on those mistakes but fighter like Garcia would focus in on it. He also drops his had after each jab. That kind of mannerism if it becomes robotic can be easily timed. That's what happened to Louis against Shmeling.
Boxers can adjust to different styles. Indongo could use his jab all night and win quite convincingly, as Cruz did to Frampton. It just takes one adjustment to use your physical advantages. Bud's movement give Indongo problems, M Garcia is pretty straight forward and would be quite easy to pick off from range. That's just my opinion of course, I could be completely wrong, and Garcia lays him out in the 1st. I just don't see it.
I love Crawford and have no agenda here. I said before they fought that Indongo sucked and how easily Bud handled the clown just vindicated that. Only people with agendas here IMO are the disingenuous Bud fans that wanna pump up every win of his to be something more than what it actually is even when not much fanfare is warranted. Felix Diaz was a HUGE win that got ignored. Much better win than Indongo, albeit less meaningful because of the belts situation.
I have no idea why, probably way off the mark but this fight left me thinking of Indongo being very similar to Carlos Maussa. Maussa picked up version in an upset win against Vivian Harris and then walked in to Hatton in a unification and got knocked out. I have to say it because somebody will pull me.. I'm not comparing Hatton to Crawford. Maybe because they both looked somewhat awkward and were found out when they fought a world champion in form.
He was found out before he even stepped in the ring. This is where Indongo learned how to box. On a field with nothing more than the elements to spar with.
