Was never really sold on Jermaine Taylor quite honestly. Crawford should win this convincingly, especially given Taylor's notoriously bad stamina.
Spinks almost took the decision off Taylor. Winky should have taken the decision off Taylor. Bud would take rhe decision off Taylor.
This would likely be a close fight for the first 4-6 rounds. But, Taylor had a terrible ring IQ. One of the worst I have seen for a (semi) elite fighter. Crawford eventually out-thibks Jermain for a UD.
I think Crawford would win but it could be a very good fights for 6-8 rounds before Taylor fades like he usually does Taylor is an odd fighter, beat Hopkins twice and had a draw with Wright before seeming to regress under Steward. He had a solid jab and decent power with his right hand. He had stamina issues, marked up and had I felt a shaky chin though he was knocked out by big punchers but he was very tough He was on the brink of stopping Pavlik in the first fight and damn close to taking Froch's title I think Crawford would win and might even stop Taylor but it would be interesting
