    Hard the same card as you for both fights.

    Zewski was going really well I thought. Kava's body work and better power caught up with him though. I'd like to see him in with another contender again as he had certainly improved. He was countering Kava's jab nicely and his jab is pretty decent, GGG like in its application although he isn't anywhere close to being as good at disguising it.

    Kava is pretty decent, I think he maxes out at decent though. Needs to move his head (or feet) more when he's finished throwing. But he's strong and hits the body well to his credit.

    Marriaga looked old and faded reasonably quickly. Gonzalez also just boxed pretty well. I like him.

    Yeah, the only reason why I picked Zewski to win is, he tends to be a guy that fights to the level of his opponent, he runs hot and cold, looking awful against guys he should walk through and looking decent against guys you think should beat him with relative ease. I figured he'd understand the opportunity he was being given here and rise to the occasion, and even though he lost, he acquitted himself quite honorably and did everything in his power to give a good fight. Against lesser puncher's this version has a legit chance.

    Marriaga looked done, he needs to call it a day.

    Kavaliauskas is one of Crawfords better wins :lol: Let that sink in to how terrible and inflated Buds resume is.

    I have to believe that Crawfords handlers are afraid to put him in with Spence and other top fighters at Welterweight. Spence, Porter, Thurman, Pac, Garcia are all fighting each other while Spence is feasting on guys below them... Doesn't take a scholar to notice what's going on here. Really says a lot that a 40-41 Pac is still taking on bigger challenges than Crawford.

    He's also a hesitant fighter, for the most part. Like you, I don't think his resistance is the greatest.
