Terence Crawford vs. Raymundo Beltran & Evgeny Gradovich vs. Jayson Velez RBR

Round 7

Crawford is roping out the long right jab on the face. Beltran is circling in either direction, close by the ropes, getting hit on the body with hard lefts. Beltran jumps in with a straight right hand and connects. Crawford answers back with a combination. Triple jab by Crawford. Beltran is walked back, Crawford rolling his right arm in the socket, threatening with jabs but not throwing.

10-9 Crawford

70-63 Crawford

 

Steve Weisfeld has it 69-64 Crawford.

 

Round 8

Crawford is standing in, waiting for Beltran to belt him with a right hand and countering with a 1-2 (while only taking Beltran's right glancing across the side of the head). Crawford is putting his right fist in like a scalpel with a hybrid jab/hook, past Beltran's guard to cut through his chin. Crawford throws a jab feint and turns when Beltran throws a hard right at him, letting it skate across his chest harmlessly. Crawford ties up after Beltran grazes him with a hook up high on the head. Crawford and Beltran stand off, both jittery, dipping side to side in mirror image.

10-9 Crawford

80-72 Crawford

 

I agree.

 

Steve Weisfeld has it 79-73 to Crawford.

 

Why does he need to? He is dominating without that.

 

Round 9

Crawford is placing his right jab, moving to his right, staying low and twisting his upper body around. Left hand leads and sneaky right upper-hooks by Crawford. Left hook by Beltran marching his way in. Crawford answers with a combo. Another hook by Beltran. Clinch. Crawford is jogging side to side and pushing out with his right jab and feint, keeping Beltran on the outside.

10-9 Crawford, first really close one

90-81 Crawford
