    Yeah... Crawford was totally dominating Porter, all of the following usually competent and fair posters just had an off night, were completely delusional and had no idea what they were watching!:rolleyes:

    I don't think anyone could make a legitimate case for Madrimov beating TC, other than TC didn't look invincible.

    Porter kept it close, but he got stopped. And TC was up on the cards.

    I'm amazed people are saying Crawford was ahead against Porter

    That was a typical Crawford pedestrian performance (I rate him highly but when he is lazy it shows badly) and he was behind clearly

    The people on the RBR that had Bud winning, it was by a point. The rest....

    We shall see but I don’t think he will. As you know I am not a Crawford but I have to respect his fight game. His ring IQ and speed of feet are going to be the differentiators in this fight.

    Ring IQ and speed will not win if that was the case then you can easily say Inou the Monster would beat Big Red:deal:

    Bud is a far better fighter than Madrimov , but What the Madrimov fight did show was Bud had just about reached the end of how far he could go up in weight and still win. Also I agree, Bud couldn't dent Canelo's chin with a hammer

    After a near death car accident he was a shell of prime Spence, Crawford doesn’t have one elite win

    People forget how bad Spence actually looked against Ugas. Sure he won it clearly, bit Ugas is no world-beater, has no power and was still able to put a horrible hurt on Spence. It was clear as day Spence wasn't the same fighter.

    Wrong. He wasn't a shell after the car accident he was a shell after Crawford beat the **** out of him.

    Many examples of smaller men beating bigger guys in boxing. Speed of feet and IQ will be the the differentiator =s.

    Well it’s all good that even usual allies see this differently. You and @ellerbe seeing this fight playing out the same way and @Serge and I seeing it play out another way. I love it and this all adds to the gaiety of the nation as in festive spirit. I am a Canelo not specifically a Bud fan but my eyes are not lying to me Bud will do a job on Canelo.
