    Crawford loses this clear. Like every round.

    No he isn't. Clenelo is badly faded and not near as busy, relentless or fresh as Mbilli. Mbilli throws a ton of shots at a relentless pace and they're very heavy and come thick and fast. You can't have a good defence against someone like that he's on your chest all night and you're going to get hit a lot

    Crawfords footwork is too good, he would dance around Mbilli. I just disagree, I don't think he's as good as you believe. Martinez was Crawfords sparring partner

    Like I said, I don't think Mbilli is great he's just too fresh, strong, relentless, busy and powerful and Crawford will not be able to keep him off of him.

    I know Martinez was Crawford's sparring partner, see how long Crawford last against him in a real fight with little gloves and no headgear

    Why not. He looked more interested in moving to 160 (and rightly so) to become a six division champion but Turki was able to get Fury’s chicken ass in the ring with Usyk twice, so anything is possible.

    Bivol would have to be heavy favourite of course, but with the risk of moving down in weight in your mid-30s and Bud’s impeccable ability to adjust, you never know.

    He also throws mostly wide, looping punches, with no jab and little defense. Again, not saying Bud wins but after tonight and how he took Canelo's power AND seemed to affect Canelo with his own power, i just can't put it past Bud to get it done against a far inferior fighter.

    A 38 year old jr MW champion cherrypicking the 35 year old undisputed SMW champion, wow.

    Congratulations, you’re locked for the most moronic take of the decade. It’s humanly impossible to top this.

    Yep. Too many had claimed Canelo is too big and strong for Bud, but it didn't happen. Bud was actually stronger, faster. Bivol is a boxer not a terminator, so Crawford could box wit him. Become undisputed/unified another division again. He doesn't need to fight many boxers after all, just one, just like with Alvarez.

    ''Mbilli'' is a rich man's Conor Benn and Crawford absolutely neutralises him good and proper as no straight up and down no special effects basic fighter is beating Crawford unless they are absurdly massive.

    Having said that why fight Mbilli anyway? a decent Frenchman who just had a draw with a relative no-name from Guatemala? what does that do to Crawford's resume? practically nothing.

    He does but he throws a ton of them and they're very heavy and he's young, fresh and very physically strong. If he traps Crawford on the ropes the punches will be coming thick and fast from everywhere

    Clenelo has so many miles on his clock and has been in a lot of tough fights and they've taken their toll on him. His resistance is waning now. Mung was beating him up and even hurting him a bit in some of those rounds

    Can people stop including me in those who picked Clenelo to win and said he was too big and strong please. I picked Crawford, gave my reasoning and explained exactly why I picked him, and then beat him exactly how I said he would

    Thank you very much

    He's trapped between a rock and a hard place. Two deep Eurasian brothers either side of him or rather one above, one below.

    Take it easy. People here have reading comprehension problems. There are multiple examples in this thread alone.
