    We can agree to disagree. After Crawford adjusted he had his way with Gamboa.

    Maybe but Crawford has some dog in him. He doesn't like guys to get the better of him and will fire back when it happens. Dulorme was big and fast and still couldn't do anything after Crawford figured him out. I think Crawford will be fine at 140 if he moves to 147 that's where he will encounter guys who are naturally bigger and he could have problems.

    Of course they would given your track record I wouldn't expect anything less than that prediction. And after the fight was signed you'd make all kinds of excuses as to Lucas has been in too many wars and the same with Provo.:deal

    1 right hand is all it takes.

    Crawford would need to fight a perfect fight

    Speed is power, or at least it can be. I don't think Crawford hits as hard as Matthysse but he is definitely faster. Matthysse, at this point, is a bit shopworn, as well. This would be a good fight. Crawford was caught by Gamboa but Gamboa is fast, as fast as Crawford. But Gamboa is clearly the smaller man.

    At this point I would give a slight edge to Matthysse. I think Matthysse could catch Crawford. If he does, he is a finisher. If he doesn't, I think Crawford outpoints Matthysse, maybe even takes him out late.

    Edge to Matthysse, though.

    Crawford is a completely solid fighter in my opinion .

    Most people would have Lucas as the underdog in this fight , but I personally feel Crawford would be the underdog .

    I see Lucas beating him , the best chance for Matthysse to put Crawford lights out would have to be in the early rnds .

    I would love for TC to prove me wrong though .

    Eh I don't agree with that completely .

    I don't see TC as a protected fighter , the man has skills , he can fight his ass off .

    His skills are legit and good enough to get job done , he don't need the ref or judges to protect him from anything .

    Danny Garcia on the other hand ? Now that's a protected fighter .

    His last fight ONCE AGAIN proved that .

    Precisely correct. I'm not sure all the bias hate towards
    crawford, unless it's a cultural thing. I for one think
    "bud" is a throwback slick black fighter that also fights
    like the bro's of the 90's. Terrance can flat out fight and
    he's extremely intelligent and patience in there. A real
    pro. Anyone who really knows this science can't possibly
    not appreciate this kid. Sadly, most of ESB DKSAB so hence
    the animosity. I'm a fan and I currently have the nebraskan
    #8 on my p4p list.
    and, i'd favor crawford to UD Matthysse

    Crawford is the real deal. He would thoroughly outbox Matty to a wide ud. He's too fast and too complete.
