Ricky Burns vs. Julius Indongo & Scott Cardle vs. Robbie Barrett RBR.

Postol doesn't have the size, or awkwardness of Indongo. It's an interesting fight.

 

postol leaves less gaps in his defence than indongo, has better footwork and they are about 1inch difference is size.
postol is a legit 5'10-5'11, ricky burns a big 5'8/

crawford would have a field day picking indongo apart. indongo has more power thats about it.

 

Diaz is about the same height as Gamboa

 

Crawford would beat him, nobody is disputing that, that said indongo size, and reach would pose some problems for Crawford. That's a tough fight for T.C.

 

Agree to disagree, for some reason i think crawford will lay in his shell landing left straights all night forcing a stoppage.

 

God damn it wtf was that

That wasnt suppose to happen,. not like that

 

Yeah I always knew Burns wasn't 5' 10. Wish they would stop feeding us these WWE stats.

 

Whenever i see Ricky Burns in high level / world level fights it always pains me that he beat Kevin Mitchell

Take away the outisde issues etc but am i missing something if i say that mitchell was much the better fighter than Burns ? But Burns who appears so so basic at times beat mitchell easily... .
Am i just overrating mitchell and underrating burns ?
Was mitchell just not on form when he fought burns ?
Mitchell gave linares a toughr tought fight when i see linares boxing rings around burns all night.
Maybe i just have a soft spot for mitchell...a waster talent.....too small for LW.......too uncommitted for SFW

 

The height difference being the main issue. Mitchell giving away lots of inches.l and burns can fight tall and whip those body shots in with his left

Something he can't do with a bean pole coming at him

 

mitchell's chin and stamina problems were his big downfall, bad habits live hard...

but kevin mitchell was very talented.

 

You obviously haven't heard of well prepared Kev.

 

But Crawfish outweighed him by 15lbs on the night.
He won't be outwieghing the far thicker Diaz.

Gamboa is also far more suited for 130, where his power is at least respectable enough to protect his slightly less than serviceable chin. Not glass, but not nearly good enough to stave off even moderate hitters at LW.

Diaz is a natural LWW, and has proven his chin vs some decent hitters and his only loss was to a largely underrated Peterson(166lbs) in their fight, and most everyone had Diaz 115-113 or at best for Peterson, a draw.

Al Haymon protection needed Peterson though to feed to Danny, and ofc, that backfired as Peterson went on to expose Danny in a 10-2 route. Lucky for Danny though, as Diaz would have put him straight to sleep.

Crawfish though, has needed to utilize speed and a flashy mix of orthodox and SP boxing to get his best wins, Postol and Gamboa, and Gamboa, his only truly elite win, nearly put him to sleep. Postol.....for all the hype, is seriously, a robotic jab and grab artist, whom any A level boxer would school.

Lucas seriously should have approached that fight as he did the Provo fight and he'd have gotten his KO as most predicted he would, but instead, he tried the bum's rush, and ended up being wrestled til he gassed and finally fell to soft touches from Postol.

Honestly.....I wish Broner could have gotten his ISH together.....much as I dislike him, he would destroy Crawfish, and I'd love to see the HBO creation dissolved by a Haymon hypejob.

 

Not Broner fan either, but I'd take Broner by KTFO Bud is a route.

Also
Pac UD Crawdad
Mathysee KO Crawdad
Imam, if he stick's to his corners counsel, would stop Crawfish.
Still not sold on Indongo, simply because Troyanovsky won his title vs a 35 y/o clubfighter in Cuenca, easily the weakest titlist since Allahkvediev. Also, while Burns is listed at 5'10, I refuse to believe it as Indongo looked like a giant in there today, and in fairness to Burns, his best days were at SFW, and Indongo simply beat a SFW who also took a very easy title route.

Not saying Indongo couldn't do Bud......but as I said.....he's not gonna get the chance for a minute.....unless of course Bob sends him into the lions den directly after his confidence shattering KO loss coming this summer.

 

Can't none of them bums beat Bud. None of them. Imam, Postol rematch, Provodnikov, old Pac, Broner, Troyanovsky, Indongo, and especially Mathysee.

 

You'd have to favor TC against Indongo in a 140lb unification, I think...But I don't see it being a really easy night for Bud. Crawford tends to start slow, while Indongo is pretty good at getting into a groove from the start of the fight. So I think Crawford will have to overtake him in the middle rounds and always be a least a little wary of over-committing lest he get tagged with a power shot that comes from a trajectory he might not see.

Indongo's an interesting opponent for Crawford, and a full unification of a division is never a bad thing.
