Miguel Cotto vs. Delvin Rodriguez & Terence Crawford vs. Andrey Klimov RBR

Round 3

Klimov is circling left and rowing out jabs from long range. Klimov is looking to set traps with the right hand, committing to it and scoring cleanly but not bothering Crawford with it. Crawford is sticking with the southpaw stance, popping in right jabs.

10-9 Crawford

30-27 Crawford

 

Round 4

Right hook, left hand by Crawford. Several woodpecker jabs by Crawford. Right upper-hooks by Crawford, backing Klimov to the ropes. Klimov is circling left and right but running out of room quickly as Crawford changes stances and smoothly moves to cut the ring off. Klimov is jabbed in the face as Crawford thrusts the right hard on the front-foot. Klimov waits on the outside, then gives a little shake-and-bake move before circling again. Crawford throws a left hand lead into Klimov's guard and hooks the body with his right. Klimov circles, negative, hands out to parry.

10-9 Crawford

40-36 Crawford

 

This is more impressive than outclassing Prescott, to me. (but then so was beating Sanabria)

He is basically shutting down and outboxing a skilled boxer.

That says more about you than showing you can shut down and outbox a crude slugger (who just happens to have very long arms he can sometimes jab effectively with)

 

We did. You sleeping?

(granted it only went up today)
