Terence Allan Crawford vs. Teófimo Andrés López Rivera

Teo likes for his opponent to fight back and Crawford will certainly do that but it won't do Lopez any good. Bud is bigger, stronger, more skilled and the gap in their ring IQs is Grand Canyon-esque. Crawford wins by mid-round stoppage.

 

Plus he's the beat switch hitter in the game today. Lopez has no chance.

 

Bud is an absolute psycho

Teo would get hurt real bad

Sign it up

 

Normally, I would say the second round is too soon simply because it's not Crawford's style to go for the quick KO. However, Bud is pure street and there is no way Teo or his dad don't say something pre-fight that would truly anger Crawford. If that happens, Bud makes fast work of him as you predict.

 

Crawford respects good fighters though, it goes more than 2 rounds for sure. Crawford catches him mid fight imo.

 

Horrible style match up for Lopez. He can't cut off the ring at all and Bud has far better movement and footwork on the backfoot than anyone he has fought, who also is a lethal counter puncher who will punish him for every punch that falls short, who also is naturally far bigger. If you thought Bud/Spence was one sided, this will be far worse, it will be a massacre, like Mayweather/Gatti.

If Teo really wants to move up, he should fight Spence, stylistically far more suitable as Spence will go right at him.

 

I think Matias will be the best matchup for him

 

Lopez might die. No, for real, I'd be legit afraid Crawford would toe-tag him.

 

I'll be shocked if Lopez's management takes a fight with Bud. He should take a page from the Canelo handbook on Ducking and run far away from Terrance Crawford.

 

Crawford has grown on me over the years. I agree with his assessment here too, he'd cold KO Lopez.
