    When asked how Crawford v Indongo would go I said Crawford before the end of 6th round wound win by stoppage
    How some made this fight close amazed me, it was only a matter of time before Crawford hit indongos high chin
    Hopefully josh taylor can fight for one of the titles when Crawford moves up

    Idongo was an awful calibre of champion, the fact he was a champion says how weak 140 is currently.

    Shows how shot Burns that Indongo had a shut out against him. Indongo is wild with his looping hooks and has no variety. Perfect for Crawford.

    Indongo was only ever going to score an upset with a freak punch, or on the back of one.

    I haven't seen it mentioned but Indongo landed a peach of a left flush with 20 seconds left in round 2. The commentators seemed to miss it but it looked to be an absolute bomb and even then Crawford only stiffened for a fraction of a second.

    I think the vast majority of people thought Crawford would win. He done excellent and as Billy mentioned previously there are many fundamental flaws in Indigos game and Crawford was ideal to exploit them and exploit them he did. It shows at LWW how far Ricky is from world class to not even take a round from Indigo. Would love to see Taylor fight Indigo maybe for a vacant title if Crawford moves up.

    Firstly I think Crawford is a truly top drawer fighter and nobody has anything for him at 140. Not even Mikey.

    Secondly I don't think this is a win to be scoffed out. Indongo went for broke as he knew he had no chance of beating Bud in the same way he beat Burns. He took a shot going hell for leather and got stopped early. I'd rather that than see him negatively try to lose all 12 rounds on the cards.

    Very good post m8, I don't think many are scoffing the win as Indigo is a good fighter, it's just when your talking of a guy who was a two belt holding world champion he's weak for that extremely high class of boxing. I agree he tried to win the fight and should be applauded instead of many fighters when heavily outmatched. He could win another world champion but would imagine Matchroom won't work with him moving forward snd without money behind him might not get chance, for record if Crawford moves up I think he should be first in line for a shot of at least one of the belts he held.

    Crawford has a lot of good options at 147. Thurman, Garcia, Spence, Porter, Khan, Horn.

    If Horn beats Pac again or that fight doesn't happen then that's who'll get fed to Crawford. Arum can even send Bud overseas safe in the knowledge that the fight will be too one sided for a robbery to occur.

    Good shout as I would like him to get one or two fights in at 147 before fighting the elite of division so likes of Horn and Khan would be ideal as would beat both comfortable. Would give him time to grow into division

    Perhaps some stopped listening to billy nelson when he said Frankie Gavin would beat Kell Brook.

    He hates Brook for some reason, he picks against him every single fight.

    Same with Burns.

    Crawford vs Garcia, that has gotta be the next huge super fight. Two absolutely top drawer, at their peak fighters going at it.

    No chance. Mikey's not going to 147 anytime soon and Crawford's moving up to WW.

    Spence/Thurman vs Crawford should make for great fights though.

    I wonder if Crawford can carry that finishing power up to 147.
