7-22 Terence Crawford signs contract to face Viktor Postol in a WBC/WBO 140 title unification fight

[GREENandYELLOW]

I still don't know what fights nikkas were watching to say Broner got hit alot against Theophane and Paulie. Paulie threw a lot of punches, I'll give you that, but dude missed so fukking much in that fight it's crazy. Theopane got dominated. I don't see how anybody thought he won more than a round or 2 at best.

Besides Porter and Chino, Taylor was the only boxer I can recall that really put some hands on Broner recently. Everybody else will land a few shots here and there, but then proceed to get their asses kicked.

Hmmm...I only watched the fight once, might have to revisit it, but at the time I actually still had one foot in on the Broner bandwagon and remember thinking, holy shyt Paulie is touching him up. Now it was Paulie's pity pat punches, but I remember thinking that AB got hit too much, and played it off by smiling and shaking his head the whole fight.

Yeah, fam you gon need to rewatch that Paulie/Broner fight again. Most of those shots Paulie threw hit shoulders, forearms, biceps, and elbows. He pretty much landed one clean punch for every 6 he tossed out.

From the 4th round on, it's a wash. Broner snaps his head back with counters the rest of the fight

Anybody got the replay?

Post still a decent fight. Bud just made him look really bad.

Let's cut the revisionist shyt. Paulie was putting hands on About Butterscotch. Let's stop this asap

True but it will still be the biggest payday of Crawford career, so I ain't mad. Arum take the loss if a PPV flop. Fighters enter the match with some kind of guarantee regardless

Can't even lie...I've been slacking on my boxing "what's what" for while...but I watched some of Crawfords fights and I am an instant supporter. FLAT OUT CRAWFORD IS PHENOMENAL. His defense can be improved ...but that's about it. He's must see tv...arum can't lose wit him. Definitely ppv ready and he'll put the beats on Thurman. And I'm a thurman supporter too, but Crawford is too polished

I like Bud but I don't think he'd be as effective at WW & I believe Jr. Welter is probably his ceiling at his current high level.
Thurman is a huge WW with speed, accuracy, & power. He's a totally different kind of beast that Bud hasn't seen before. Thurman's the naturally larger guy with almost as much skill. To me it's a similar situation with the Gamboa fight where the just as skilled naturally bigger fighter won the fight. Thurman's punches will most definitely hurt Bud.

The way the hype is headed now, if Crawford gets one more good win, nikkas gon think he can take on Golovkin.

So I'm guessin Crawford goes by the nickname Bud? If so yea bud would have to get a lil bigger and that could be issue...but his taller frame would allow that easily in my opinion. Thurman is a true knockout artist...but in that last fight, I saw some errors and skills missing that I know an advanced fighter will exploit. Crawford is that good to exploit them. Crawford lacks defensively which definitely could be a danger against 1 time....I mean all he needs is 1 time. But Crawford lets his hands go better than anyone I've seen since sweetpea Whitaker or later Roy jones. He threw a two piece combo against Thomas Dulhorne SO FAST and powerful it dropped cuz to one knee. Gamboa was clearly stunned from his power. I think if the weight isnt rushed and put on and he gets time to grow and train into the knew body he'll cause problems. Thurman is thurman tho...1 time, so he can't be counted out. But what I saw from Crawford imo makes him deadly.

I agree with this. This is no slight on Bud, but every weight class he's fought in he's been 'big' for it. Saturday he looked like a normal sized ww.

Fighting against JWW, with his power, speed, timing and movement (his most underrated skill), I don't see him taking a L, unless he got sparked in the first rd ala Flab Chad,

Don't think he's ready for top 147'ers. He does have an elite skillset, and I think it's only 75% shown so far.

Uhhhhh you heard of this guy named Manny Pacquiao? Filipino dude moving up in weight classes with pretty fast hands.....

And Thurman just was in a 12 round fight where he landed 40-50% of his power punches against Shawn Porter and didn't drop him once (or really mark him up) so that one time applies to lesser fighters really.

Yea manny is fast too...but mannys speed involves his legs moving too, lot of quick combos from awkward angles cuz his ability to stay mobile...but Crawford is a stay in front of you quick combo distributor....when he fights southpaw fighters really don't see the right coming...it's that fast, and wit crazy power.

As far as thurman/porter...I kinda give thurman a break cuz porter is a funny style fighter....but I did see flaws from thurman against porter. But thurman does knock guys out, that's just a fact.

when you throw right hands your head has to come in and/or under check hooks. it has to naturally preform a slipping motion. but the way he throws his right hand his head is just stationary so he is one of these guys who is going to eat check hooks when he throws his right hand. so maybe thats why he never threw his right hand? with no jab and no right hand maybe thats why crawford only had to steal a few punches to win just about every round. his excuse is crawford was running. well that and 25 cents can buy him a cup of coffee. great performance by crawford.

If you look at the right hand that Postol stopped Matthysse with, he didn't slip his head. Viktor has always relied more on his reach (and opponents coming after HIM) than, perfect technique to generate power punches. When Crawford adjusted his movement to stay just out of the reach of the jab, the fight was over.

At least you being honest though and neutral. I can't front on anybody favoring Swift or Bud over him, but Broner won't make it easy and is a live dog.

A lot of nikkas act like they Broner fans, but only show up to shyt on dude when he fukks up. Then it's "I used to fukk with Broner, but he ain't serious blah blah" I can't rock with him anymore etc...

Then they'll tag or reply to @Newzz and act as if he has to remove their names off of some imaginary stan list.

There's been only like 4 hardcore #AboutBillions fans from the start, but whenever Broner fukks up we get pages upon pages of "I used to be a Broner fan" posts.

Ehhhhhh

Just because you don't ride with #BandCamp doesn't mean you can't be a Broner fan breh.

I'm not a huge Broner fan, but I still root for the guy. Just because you're a fan doesn't mean you can't be objective

And my breh @Newzz literally rides for AB about almost anything, it's not a surprise he gets tagged. shyt I expect all the mentions n quotes when BATB loses or news comes up. I guess it's just easier to be objective about him, #BeterBeast, #HammerHead #MikeyMafia than AB. Because AB is a very polarizing figure.
