    I saw this video a few months back. At that time, I dug into this story and found a conflicting account that said GRJ sucker punched Crawford and people held Crawford back before he could retaliate. I couldn’t find anything beyond that though.

    It is to boxing "fans".
    Funny how in MMA guys can get KO'd on a near yearly basis but still compete at the highest levels.
    But in boxing you get hurt once and it's all over.

    I suggest you manage your expectations when reading through the posts on ESB. Threads like this and the members who enable the venomous content found on here do so as a defense mechanism. They lack objectivity and mask their paranoia by showing biased, unacceptence and intolerance for fighters who don’t fit within their comfort zone.

    We all know who they are and the self righteous perspectives that energize their existence. The constant need to bash and question Bud’s status while simultaneously sensationalizing the accolades and legitimacy of Loma is a prime example of their insecurities. Don’t get me wrong I have respect for practically all members I’ve interacted with on these boards, however, make no mistake I know all to well the type of ideology they practice. Mental health is a huge component of our overall heath acuity and through the years I’ve noticed a spike in mental hygiene claims in my industry as well as an increase in disturbingly odd and bizarre interpretations of fighters skill set, potential, work ethic, resume, fight outcomes and round by round analysis.

    It’s as if there’s a reckoning brewing within society a self combustible negative vim ready to release its contents all over Mother Earth.

    Anywho, I don’t expect to receive any replies from the selective few so I’ll simply stick to those (like yourself) who have shown balance and stability. Of course I’ll still communicate with the uncouth as a personal social experiment.

    Just like Oscar who got dropped when he fought at 130 where he was drained. When Oscar moved up in weight he displayed and iron chin but people here are too stupid to realize that. They want to say Crawford is a weight drainer when it suits their agenda but when it doesn't they don't mention it.

    Fair points. The verdict is still out on Crawfords chin.

    At WW I’d agree he’s got his work cut out because all the top guys can bang. Understanding chins is a complex science that’s heavily weighted on your ability to weather a storm rather your body’s instinctive reaction to being caught with a good shot at a vulnerable moment.

    Iv´e had a few arguments here and there where i extensively explain my points. Basically a debate.
    They just stop responding. They have no ground to stand upon.

    There is not intelligent rebuttal so the safe option is to remain quiet and humble in defeat. You did your job and haters can’t do anything but spit hate.

    This is a pretty decent and fair post. Im a huge Crawford supporter but im definitely curious to see how the beard holds up at WW. Makes no sense how 99.9% of the time you post some of the dumbest and biased garbage on this forum and yet youre capable of posting something decent for once.

    Yea Oscar at 130, man imagin that! I kinda forgot he was that low. When I started watching religiously he was a lightweight who was moving up but hadn’t thought bout it.

    Spence needs to fight Crawford ASAP, neither one has fought anyone good, Horn was a total disgrace and Ocampo had never fought an top 20 fighter, which makes me wonder how the IBF made him mandatory....................what a sick joke of boxing fans................Spence did not have to train for that fight and he still would have won............he knew Ocampo had no power, but Ocampo did land punches...............

    that chin will eventually fail him when he fights the best eventually.
