In a fierce back-and-forth, he got snuffed out w/ a shot. JMM didn't issue a one-sided beating before the KO.
You think Pac would survive a fierce back and fourth with Crawford at this stage of his career? I'm asking you honestly because it's inevitable
The version that fought Thurman would hurt Crawford and probably beat Crawford. This one, who the hell knows. The 2 year lay off is killer. But it also goes both ways. Can Crawford take Pac's shots?
The version that edged out a win against Thurman who had fought once in the previous 26 months? What about the version that was getting roughed up by Jeff Horn? Terence Crawford will hurt 42 year old Pac and hurt him badly
Crawford isn't a dirty fighter. He's not gonna headbutt, armlock, elbow, forearm, wrestle, or try to gouge Pac's eyes with his glove. You're not taking something into consideration — Pac has put bigger and sturdier men into survival mode. Mosley, Clottey, Floyd, Vargas, Broner, and even Broner decided to box him. Bradley tried to get cute and was put on his ass and got hurt. Crawford has had his way with lesser fighters. Pac's offense is still lethal. Pac, even at nearly 43, is a different animal to what Crawford has faced. Like I said, we will know fight night. Pac might find that he can't pull the trigger and his reflexes are gone. In this scenario, yes, Bud will stop him, but Pac will be in the fight and have his moments.
No You underrate crawford. Dude is pound for pound for a reason and ducked by spence porter danny g and thurman for a reason
Like both fighters but nobody is beating crawford right now at 147 or 154. Respect to manny for taking this fight and the reason manny goes down as the real tbe.
Not underrating him. Just spitting facts. Taking punches from Pac and dealing with Pac's speed is a different animal to anything Crawford has seen. If Pac lands like EK, Gamboa, and Kell was, I see it being very bad for Crawford. Pac put a beating on Thurman — something Danny and Porter couldn't do.
Pacman is 43 y.o and most likely looks for him easier beatable than Spence Jr cos Spence is younger than Pac. To fight with over the hill uncles looks that is new main trend in pro boxing.
I think Crawford is an excellent boxer and will be way too good for Pac man at this stage of his career. Pac is way past his best but is still very good.
