    I didn't see what was written on the forum over the weekend because I wasn't on, but I can't believe the HBO commentary on Crawford. The guy looked horrible. The punch that started the sequence that ended the fight was the first clean, significant punch I remember him landing in the whole goddamn fight.

    He looked in control the whole time to me even though he was getting out worked early

    Neither of them landed much of significance.

    It's not like Dulorme was pitching a shutout. I gave Crawford the third round.

    What the hell does that even mean? That's what they were saying, too. How can you be in control if you're getting outworked and losing rounds.

    They were just siding with him because it was EXPECTED that he would win. That's why they were saying nonsense like that he's losing rounds but he's in control.

    Oh, no doubt, Dulorme wasn't doing too much of anything, either, but he was at least throwing and consequently outlanding Crawford.

    I think it was Dulorme's handspeed that gave Crawford a lot of trouble.

    Crawford was losing that's right but He was timing Dulorme too, Dulorme is a heck of a boxer, bigger and a heck of a pop so you need to be careful, for luck to Crawford Dulorme lack of chin and ring IQ was enough to catch him, a Dulorme with chin would had given Crawford a very hard fight, I said after the fight that Dulorme box better than Crawford but His lack of confidence and IQ would cost him the fight sadly I think the fight would last longer maybe the 10 round while ahead or close in the fight.

    I mean that even in the rounds he was losing, he was starting to get his timing down

    Which is supported by the KO

    He was toying with the guy and picking his moment. He seemed to know he could end it once he got the opening he wanted, and was just laying back and baiting the guy into it.

    As a usual detractor of Crawford's.... he looked fine, he realized Dulorme had a glass jaw and was just biding his time waiting for the perfect counter to shatter Dulorme's China. Even the rounds he arguably lost, he was still very competitive and they were disputable.

    Right he was biding his time, dropping rounds because he "realized" (how did he realize it?) that Dulorme had a glass chin, so he was just casually dropping rounds as he was developing his timing, and the fact that he was working on his timing is supported by him landing ONE punch that happened to hurt Dulorme.

    Crawford was just timing him, Dulorme fought a dumb fight, he was wasting his energy throwing meaningless shots.

    Obviously he was in control, he won KO6, sound familiar?

    How....because Dulorme got KTFO by Abregu, with a well timed counter maybe.

    He looked like ****, losing round after round until Dulorme's lack of punch resistance bailed him out.

    HBO have managed to brainwash the viewers into thinking he knew what he was doing all along.

    He was being outboxed by Gamboa for the first half of the fight too, a bigger punch got him out of that one too.
