    I gotta disagree. I think Garcia is prime and ready for this oppurtunity... one he may lose, but that's what happens when the best fight eachother.... Garcia has plenty of options at 135 but a Crawford fight is the biggest fight for either at their respective weight class... let's get it on..!

    Do you really think they're going to agree to this one? They've never shied away from challenges but this is just such a tough fight for them. If team Garcia agree, major props.

    I think Arum plays a major part to this fight happening or not . I think it's the same case with Floyd when he left arum... Garcia will be hard pressed to get a fight with Crawford while Greedy Bob is holding the royal flush.

    Crawford looked great tonight, very impressive performance from him - look forward to what he does from here. Indongo looked relatively uncoordinated and wild, left himself far too open at times.

    During the fight I was about to give credit to Indongo as he had a helluva left hand landing on Crawford, but then seconds later he's in a fetal position. The bodyshots and not making the same mistake twice is sign of a true legend. If fans demand it Top Rank WILL make the Mikey-Bud fight, despite it's grudge with Mikey.

    Indongo had belts, so no shame in Crawford fighting him... legacy wise being undisputed at 140lb is important.. even if Indongo is well below him in skill.

    Also, the punch landed.. and landed hard.. it just bounced his hand back off him. You can see it clearly from some angles.. and watching it live you HEARD it.

    To the guys saying it didn't land... here:

    Start it there.. and 2:18 you can see it hit right above the belt line on Indongo's side.

    i think mikey can win, but he has to be properly prepared to face a fighter in this class, cause it becomes a game of inches and the smallest of factors become critical. his body needs time for his reflexes and muscle memory to adjust to the extra load on the frame and create unchanging patterns. thats why many teenagers are so clumsy, their body is constantly adjusting to the increase in mass.

    100% this. It's a breath of fresh air. Love how first thing he said was "Well first I'm going fishing".
