Santos Saúl Álvarez Barragán vs. Terence Allan Crawford & Christian M'billi vs. Lester Martínez RBR

116-113 Crawford was my card.

 

Max Kellerman and the other commentators were biased as hell for Crawford. Especially in the early rounds.

It was closer than people had it. Crawford was running like a ***** in many of the rounds he 'won', he didn't do enough to win those rounds. Lots of those rounds could have been scored a draw.

Wow

 

Has that ever been different ?

No commentator in any sport talks as much sanctimonious nonsense as this nepochild.

 

Amazing from Crawford. He was able to carry the weight and looked very comfortable. Congrats champ.

 

..look, I love body shots. I'm a huge proponent for them counting and carrying a lot of weight in scoring. Thing is, Canelo wasn't landing body shots. He was THROWING body shots, and more than 90% of them were missing outright or hitting Crawford's elbows or the small of his back. You don't get to count those ones.

 

Im assuming they were probably counting all those half hip shots, half arm half back shots for canelo when it comes to the Compubox stats. I saw Crawford unperterbed by any of those and only can recall a handful of clean head shots landed by Canelo. I saw a man who was in total control of the fight vs one who struggled to land significant strikes, although it's not like I saw Crawford light Canelo up all night or anything. Im guessing the rounds were close and mainly edged by Crawfords effective defence. He had a shield, nothing pentrated. He snapped back Canelo's nut a few times. Kid got the win. That's the story of the fight!

 

I'm confused...

 

Explain...

 

WTF?

 

As of this post, this RBR thread passes Pacquiao vs. Bradley I for the all-time most-replied-to IB RBR, breaking a thirteen year old record.

It's now #9 all-time among all RBR threads. The top 8 are all @CST80's: #8 Bivol vs. Beterbiev I, #7 Zhāng vs. Wilder, #6 Usyk vs. Fury II, #5 Usyk vs. Joshua II, #4 Joshua vs. Usyk I, #3 Joshua vs. Wallin, #2 Beterbiev vs. Bivol II, and #1 Usyk vs. Fury I.

It's also in the top 0.04% most-viewed threads of all time (will climb a bit more over the next day or two before the dust settles)

 

Great performance by Crawford. Totally neutralized everything canelo was trying to do. A very highly skilled chess match. I loved it.

 

So you are saying....

I just made history.
