Terence 'Bud' Crawford vs Ronald 'Winky' Wright @154 Lbs, Who Wins?

Wow, this woulda been a treat, a real treat... I'm gonna leave it at that!!!

 

If they fought 10 times Bud would win 6 controversial close decisions, Winky 3, and there would be one draw.

 

ill wait till i see how easy crawford beats charlo

 

I think crawford is bring his power up. His power comes from good balance, tech, and timing, speed. Look at crawfords legs. He is slightly boul legged. i noticed this when he was pushing the sled.

 

Winky was pretty big at 154, even did some of his best work at 160. He EASILY could've been MW champ as many thought he beat JT. Meanwhile, Bud is a small WW. I think the size difference would be telling and a factor.

Stylewise, Winky gives counter punchers very little to work with, pumping that piston jab with his immensely long arms behind that high guard. I'm sure Bud will have his moments but i just see a UD for Winky by just outworking Bud, maybe even 8-4, 7-5 ish.

 

Close UD win for Bud

 

Wright was the better fighter. I think he probably wins a decision.

But I wouldn't be surprised if Spence gave him all he could handle. The kind of pressure and volume Spence throws at is stylistically problematic for Wright as we saw vs Simon and Vargas. He'd be out worked for periods and be kept behind that high guard while Spence is throwing.

But in the end Wright with his superior jab and defence likely wins a close decision.

 

Lol misread the thread thought it was about Spence as the talk has been about Spence moving up.

Crawford wins a decision over Wright.

 

Probably worth waiting to see what Crawford looks like at 154

 

Winky is criminally underrated here. I need to see Crawford do something there before picking him against a top 5 at at that weight.

 

I need to see Crawford at 154 first, like against TIm Tszyu before I can gauge how he would do against Winky, because Winky was criminally underrated. Not very fun to watch, but criminally underrated.
