    Crawford fought outstanding of the back foot against the bigger Canelo. Then started to come forward more mid fight and be the aggressor, got to give him credit for clearly outboxing Canelo. Although Canelo did land the bigger shots the first half of the fight, he was getting frustrated and came in that second time head down, not looking with that head butt. Frustration right there. Clear but close UD for Crawford. I think the scorecards got it right tbh, 116 - 112 , I had it

    I respect your scorecards usually, but your take tonight has been pretty bad

    Ennis? Are you slow? What in the ****ing world has Jaron Ennis done? He DUCKED Bud Crawford already. Bud supposed to drain back down in weight and skip actual 154lb champs in Ortiz Jr and Fundora...for ****ing Ennis??????

    Are you slow?

    Bud went to the bare basic
    Movement and making Canelo reset every 29 seconds—It was a masterpiece

    Kellerman sure is building this event. It was a great win , but Canelo was older and still not a huge 168 pounder who had a loss against Bivol lately. it was a great win, but not what Kellerman said.

    Then I would pick only Usyk and Inoue above Crawford.

    Sometimes you have to accept that if everyone else saw something you didn't, maybe you missed it.

    I reckon you can give Nelo 1,4,5,8,9

    But Crawford definitely won this fight

    This made me laugh. Seriously do you really hate Crawford that much?

    I had the volume low but the commentary were in on the fix, Canelo clearly won the first two rounds, Bud only landed one punch in the first FFS, absolute bull****!

    People acting like Crawford pitched a shutout is......surprising.

    Far from it. Like I said, it was a pedestrian performance from both. A masterpiece is winning every round in decisive fashion, Bud didn't do that.

    Crawford was even older and even less of a SMW

    How is a 3x undisputed champion not going to be p4p #1? This is history in the 4 belt era.
