    Bud was losing this bout until he switched to southpaw, is he the best switch-hitter in the last 20 years?

    To answer your question yes I think he's the best switch hitter since Hagler and probably second only to Hagler all time

    You can't be "losing" 3 rounds into a fight unless something substantial happens. They were feeling each other out. Crawford simply wanted to give Kell Brook a look he wasn't expecting by opening up orthodox. Once crawford settled in and started letting his hands go the gap in class was very clear.

    Fights are scored on a round by round basis. Crawford lost the first three rounds.

    So I guess you agree Pac was clearly defeated by Mayweather then?

    I actually watch the rounds and understand there is nuance. I also understand that one fighter has to win the round no matter how uneventful they are. Kell Brook "winning" rounds one and 2 and then getting blown away doesn't mean much to Brook at this point I'm quite sure

    Only on your hater card. All the REAL judges had the fight 2-1 Brook. 29/28 after 1/4 of the fight. Wow he was WAY BEHIND. BHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
