    Canelo looked gun shy and shot.

    But great achievement by TC

    I knew this would happen. Canelo IS NOT big enough that I thought Crawford's skill could not overcome it. Most great SMW champs beat Crawford because they are true SMW, not just in weight but dimensions.

    Correct decision. Had it 7-5 myself. Don’t think it was as one-sided as the commentary made out.

    But Christ who was that bellend behind Crawford just then.

    Yup, that's the most surprising part. Even on the inside, he couldn't hurt Bud.

    One that wasn't built around desperately wanting to see Crawford get the win by any means necessary. The motherr****ers on this RBR would've given Crawford a round he got dropped in.

    Wait a minute. I didn't know about this God stuff. That's totally unfair. Things need to be equal going into the ring.

    Great fight by Crawdad! He looked comfortable at the weight, got into a rhythm and had the fight in total control from round one. I’m shocked the corrupt judges didn’t give Canelo another gift. Decent cards, clear win by Bud.

    Bivol just lost millions of dollars because that rematch ain’t happening. Canelo looked slow and plodding. I lost count of how many times he swung at air with that big right that Bud saw coming from a mile away. Bud was in control and never hurt by the bigger opponent. Good fight!

    PS - Usyk is still PFP #1…

    I thought it was close. 2 of the judges saw it close, but listening to the commentary they seemed to indicate a wide clear fight for Crawford

    Been a cement-foot, one shot plodder for years.

    Hard to break that habit if that's all you have been doing for a long fight streak and multiple training camps.
