Fantasy Match Up: Crawford vs Provodnikov

crawford has a glass chin ruslan stops him

 

Crawford loves to fight back. :bbb
WAR RUSLAN!!!!!:fire
upset of the year.

 

Risky fight for Crawford and no money in it. I wouldn't go near the guy.

 

Ruslan has a chance but for all the talk about his chin, power and how dangerous he is. I think he's closer to LM than most others.

From what I've seen, he goes hard early but when an opponent fights back and is making it difficult, he's trying to win less and less. He almost accepts defeat. I don't think he'd ever flat out quit like LM had but he stops putting himself in harms way.

A tough journeyman, but that's the best he can be. Especially at his age, while starting to outgrow 140, at 5'5" (real height) I don't see him becoming a factor at ww.

Shouldn't dream or w/e matches be at least with elite talent ?

 

Fantasy mismatch, you mean?

 

mismatch? please elaborate.....

Crawford got wobbled by a featherweight gamboa:nut

 

Gamboa, who many projected to be a p4p king.

Provodnikov, a longtime & like Crawford IMO natural 140lber, was considered (probably not unfairly) to have an ESPN2 FNF ceiling until Bradley fought him like a macho dolt in the wake of Pac 1 just to prove a point, elevating Ruslan's perceived stock.

 

Bud by UD.

 

what do you think of crawfords chin?

 

Oh, missed your earlier post...

I see. Yer a troll.

 

:nono

Ruslan couldn't knock out a shot Chop-Chop.

He couldn't even cleanly knock out a shot Augustus, which Omotoso had managed to do the year before.

 

:deal Absolutely true. Crawford would let him work the first 2 rounds and wear himself down and then begin to pick him apart.
