Janibek vs Crawford

Agree with this. If everything is above board Janibek wins. I could see Janibek winning a 116-112 type of fight but he would likely get hosed on the cards.

 

I watched that entire thing hoping he'd crash.

 

Young lion huh?.....lol.

Janibek is the exact same age when people start calling Crawford old (32).....It was said that Kavaliauskas's success in those early rounds was due to Crawford aging. That and Crawford being "too small" was reasons some said that the "inactivity" of Crawford would be his downfall vs Kell Brook. Age 32 specifically was the first time I heard Crawford being suggested that he was "slowing down".....fast forward to today, 8 more world titles and 2 Lineal titles......and he's still standing strong.

So how is it that Janibek is considered a young lion at age 32?

 

It's literally the only fight that out his own mouth he name dropped when he said he was thinking about going down to 160........

 

^ This poster will be the first in line to point out how old Crawford is should he get sparked out next fight

 

Crawford beating Canelo is the good old saying, styles make fights. This version of Canelo is tailormade for a fighter like Bud. Theres probably a good chunk of fighters at 168 that smoke Bud just because of the size and style. 160, i still think theres some id favour over Bud, Janibek is one. I think we do see Bud at 160lbs though, but i full expect him to not fight Janibek as much as id be curious to see it. Lara or Adames the most likely route.

 

14 world titles, 3 undisputed statuses, 3 Lineal titles, and people still haven't gained the common sense to stop doubting Crawford's ability to AT THE VERY LEAST have a chance to have success vs anyone he gets in the ring with. Instead all the energy is put into attempting to discredit the opponent afterward Crawford does what he does to him.

It's all comedy at the end of the day.........

Crawford by.....decision, stoppage, or whatever he wants. I don't see Janibek as a bigger threat than Canelo, Spence, or Kavaliauskas. He has many openings in his offense as well that Crawford's IQ can definitely exploit..... Even in his "old age"......

 

How's bout it actually happen and you see how I respond, Miss Cleo.

Thus far, my analysis of all of Crawford's match ups have been proven to be correct. If you aren't too lazy, rather than talking about what "this poster" will do, how about you check my history on my predictions of his fights. Though I'm sure you are probably just one of the many who like to use your WiFi connection to argue, debate, and ramble about things you know nothing about rather doing actual research.

Nothing I say is far from reality. While respecting the opponent, it's not hard for me to point out that Crawford has the ability to compete with everyone he's put in the ring with. And if Janibek is the next man up...(the fight that I said was the most dangerous for him at 160), it's not hard for me as a BOXING FAN not a man fan to understand that Crawford's skill set can exploit certain flaws in this match up.

 

He and his camp have already express that they aren't retiring and Canelo has already said no to a rematch....... Let alone the fact that Turki himself has stated that he has an announcement for Crawford's next match up to come up pretty soon. Stated that Crawford will take the rest of the year off and make the announcement at the beginning of 2026......

Do anyone on this board actually pay attention to the sport and just chant random things and repeat it amongst yourselves in these forums.

 

Crawford spanks him.

 

Janibek is a monster. You people downplaying him will be in for a rude awakening provided this fight comes off. Crawford should just retire, he will be 39. Janibek should be fighting Iglesias or Boots

 

Would be a great fight but I don't see Turki paying tens of millions for it.

 

We'll see, I really do hope Crawford keeps fighting but he isn't the most active fighter and is getting old.
