    I believe you are missing a round somewhere.

    Yeah I have, but I've also been watching boxing long enough to know how to split a round that's razor close like the first 5, and don't kneejerk hand it to the slickster.

    Again, they drafted Kellerman and Ward in for a very specific reason. To create a narrative that Crawford was outboxing Clenelo even when he wasn't and that he was putting on a masterclass. I had Crawford winning but that wasn't close to any kind of masterclass he just did a little bit more and was credited for doing a lot more than he did

    Its all the same guys in here who predicted Canelo by KO, now discrediting Buds victory. The guys just jumped up virtually 3 weights and beat a guy whos reigned at the top of that division for a long time. Why pick the Canelo KO if this was expected. If Canelo was completely washed, you should of known beforehand that Bud would beat him into a bright pink complexion, then maybe your attempts at discrediting post fight could be valid.

    Precisely, I don't have an issue with anyone who gave it to Crawford by a round, or had it a draw, but that's it. It wasn't a masterclass it wasn't a schooling. It was a tight affair with several rounds that could go either way. Anyone who says otherwise is a full of **** propagandist.

    I always need a rewatch to make sense of a fight but I thought that Crawford got the better of the exchanges and had Canelo out of ideas in the championship rounds, his team looked like they knew what they saw too

    It wasn't just Kellerman, even the director was given the memo. I mean one single replay at the end of the first, and it was a shot by Bud.

    For a 38-year old moving up 2 (really 3) weight classes against a quality opponent with fast hands and solid defense, Bud looked damn good.

    Er. I picked Crawford to win and I told everyone exactly why he would win and he won doing exactly what I said he would he just didn't do it as convincingly as I thought he would. My logic and reasoning for why and how he would win was bang on the money though

    Yep I thought Crawford won but it was not a high level fight like Fury Usyk one. Canelo Crawford almost looked like a sparring session.

    Canelo absolutely looked lost in rounds 11 and 12, he lost them pretty decisively, the rest however, could've gone either way.

    He did seem to win the exchanges because he was that bit faster, but a fight is more than the exchanges, Canelo was landing body shots all night and was still landing single shots.
