    i only fought as an amateur. had a bunch of fights...less than half were sanctioned. most were smokers in my younger days and in the military. i've sparred pros as well. been a trainer for 15yrs now.

    Canya remember the joy of a move working (like doubling your jab or a combo) in a bout after practicing to exhaustion for months; or when something worked for a boxer you trained -- bumping-up his confidence?

    Crawford has a HUGE defensive flaw: He leans forward when he throws that big left hand. He doesn't plant his lead foot forward enough, and this causes him to take a long time to pull his head back.

    He needs to fix this pronto, or someone fast & strong is going to take that head clean off.

    In every other way, though, he definitely looks like the future.
