Terence Allan Crawford vs. José Luis Benavidez Jr. & Ash-Shakur Nafi Stevenson vs. Viorel Simion RBR

Too soon to say

 

Good body shot by Binavidez.

 

R1: 10 - 9 Crawford
R2: 10 - 9 Crawford
R3: 10 - 9 Crawford
R4: 10 - 9 Crawford (close)

 

Bud struggles with height (and Jose doesnt have especially long arms).

If Jose starts to let his hands fly like he is now....Bud is going to be exposed.

 

Crawford is not that great. He leaves his head down in exchanges and can be countered. I have seen him before, but there are weaknesses. Benvenidaz should throw the lead right and then throw a left hook. He hits him with the lead right.

 

R1 10-9 Crawford
R2 10-9 Crawford
R3 10-9 Crawford
R4 10-9 Crawford

 

You put pain in the opponent the round is yours. Hurt business.

 

Benavidez has a good gameplan and he is sticking to it rather well.

 

I still think Crawford will win by bodypunching, but he leaves his chin out there. He is fast but his reach is not that great to have his hands down. Guys today even the top guys are not that great.

 

Jose landed a body shot that got Bud's attention.

 

3-2 Crawford

 

4-1 Bud
