Benevidez is not afraid of him. Reading here I see the posters are giving Benevidez respect but it seems all are picking Bud for a mid to late round ko. Does everybody think Benevidez will be that easy??? Benevidez has more experience. Benevidez by decision
I think Crawford wins it but the fight will be competitive IMO. Jose comes from a fighting family and he's been boxing since he was a child. Also, while his resume might be thin, he has been boxing world-class fighters at the Wild Card Gym for like 10 years. I don't think it'll be a walk in the park for Crawford.
The OP says Crawford has a “huge problem” but I don’t see that he has. Crawford is P4P quality. Based on who Benevidez has fought, relatively nobody, there’s nothing there that worries me or looks problematic to Crawford. I think it will be a blowout. We know there are levels in boxing, and there’s several between these two. If Benevidez outboxes him to a decision victory, I’ll buy a hat and eat it. I’d be utterly stunned.
Benavidez doesn't have more experience. And even if he did, he's fought mostly bums. Crawford has more experience against top fighters.
Benavidez isn't a bad fighter but he's so open down the middle when he fires I can't see how Crawford with his counters isn't going to land hard and land often. Benavidez better have a good chin or he's getting KO'ed.
Bud might struggle the first 1-3 rounds but will find his timing and openings by the 5h TKO from Bud in the 8h
I'm still not sold on Bud being a top 5 PFP fighter and based on the 25-1 odds Benavidez is definitely being overlooked here. Going on a hunch here and picking the underdog for an upset.
Mmmm I dont know, dude, I would swear that the one having a problem here is benavidez. You look at crawford's face and you can read "PROBLEM", no matter what's your name.
