at 6/1 JULIUS BLUE MACHINE INDONGO

Only takes one good punch but really I rate Crawford so highly right now that I just don't see him losing to anyone even at Welterweight his skill level and deceptive size just makes him a challenge for even the best Welterweights in my opinion

 

If Indongo throws the hook he used in your "highlight reel KO" Crawford will hit him 3 times before it gets there. I would expect to see better technique from amateurs. Indongo has a punchers chance but is not skilled enough to beat Crawford if it goes the distance

 

Crawford is rightly a heavy favourite but I just can't understand what Indongo has done to be labelled below average or poor.

 

Postol beats indongo, nevermind Crawford. You would have thought people would have learned their lesson with Joe Smith jr.

 

It is less about Indongo being "below average or poor" and Crawford being very good or great. When you compare the skill levels they are a bad match. Indongo does have a punchers chance however

 

Postol can't crack?

 

He won one by a vicious knockout when people thought he would lose and he won the other with domination, again when people thought that he would lose. What part of that, that you don't understand? Crawford has to train his best for this fight because if he takes it lightly, he might find himself waking up. I have him winning convincingly but that's because he will be ready.

 

This. Crawford is very skilled, but I'm still not completely sold on him. His best opponents were Ricky Burns, Gamboa, and Postol, which are solid wins, but besides Gamboa most of his opponents have no handspeed or head movement. The Gamboa fight exposed how easily Crawford can be out jabbed and that Crawford has a bad habit of fighting in a rthym, since Crawford was struggling to adapt to Gamboa's handspeed until Gamboa gassed. Crawford also leaves his body open when he switches from conventional to southpaw. Most of his opponents are too slow to make him pay, but I can see Indongo tagging him.

 

Poor Indongo, he is geing set up for a loss. Indongo can't fight at all, but even if he could the fight will be in Crawford's territory, with Crawford's judges, referee, boxing commission, this fight is not even worth watching................very prefabricated fight, easily predicted................

 

Being in somebodies territory don't mean that much, Indongo won both his belts in somebody else's territory. For that matter you can just ask Errol Spence how much it means.

 

He went to Russia and knocked out their champion and went to Scotland and beat their man and didn't lose a round. Give him some props the bloke can fight

 

same thing...

 

I'd probably root for Indongo against anyone at 140 other than Bud because I love the road warrior, coming from nowhere to upset champs storyline, but I've been a Crawford fan too long to go against him now.

I'm banking that Bud's going to approach this as professionally as he always does. He's smart enough to know he can't half ass it against a guy whose specialty is upsetting the status quo.

 

That said, if Julius comes out to "Blue" by Eiffel 65 and is accompanied by the Blue Man Group on his ring walk, all bets are off

 

Why is he called blue machine?
