and he sits in the pocket too much. Crawford is too good of a boxer puncher for a guy that doesnt move much. AB takes too many shots while he is looking to counter.

So, you didn't see Adrien Broner vs John Molina then right?:stopitslime:

Movement is no longer an issue and AB hasn't EVER been rocked by a 5'5 Super Featherweight, so the chin ain't a issue either. Crawford can't say the same.

And I'm drunk also. Forgot to score the Matthysse vs Provodnikov fight, but it was good to just WATCH a fight again instead of scoring it.

Provodnikov has an amazing chin and I would like to see him vs someone closer to his level...John Molina Jr. THAT fight on PBC would be amazing:banderas:

Lucas Matthysse did well and him vs Terence Crawford would be a good test for both of them. Matthysse's hands looked a little faster than what he's given credit for:lupe:, but he needs a better corner imo. He should go to Robert Garcia imo

Excellent fights on HBO.

Crawford's game plan surprised me. I didnt know he could turn it on like that. Wow, his power carried up. He is one of the most exciting skilled boxers. Looking forward to what we see from this cat. Garcia is lucky promoters troubles separate these two. But after seeing Imam tonight, not sure Danny wants those problems either.

To get it out of the way, I scored Matthysse-Provodnikov a draw. Total fight punch stats are misleading. Prov was killed in punch stats, but total punches don't tell the story of each round.
Prov may have the best chin in boxing. Wow. Just wow. And Matthysse's chin issues were overrated to me. He went down vs. Garcia for accumulation due to fighting with one eye. And Molina can crack, Matthysse was knocked off balance and came back to win the other 2:50 in both rounds.
Both guys can crack, really surprised no one hit the canvas despite both having good chins.
I want to see both guys fight again and they deserve good fights...just give them an easy touch, please!


Edit: Lampley was horrible tonight. I thought the fight was close...but he spent the whole nigh in disbelief over Lederman's card saying Prov was too far back.

Ruslan on ig saying he is pissing black urine:huhldup:




jesus. lucas put a life altering beatdown on him just like I thought he would. ruslan was getting his head snapped back nasty in the first 6 rounds....maKNEEsay just kept hitting him with uppercut after uppercut. after a few rounds you could see that look of discouragment on ruslan's face. he knew he was in there with a different type of animal than what he's used to. luckily after his corner threatened to stop it he got some life back in him but it wasn't enough. he still earned a lot of respect though. no other fighter woulda been able to stand up to those bombs lucas landed on him. he's gonna be feeling the effects of those punches for a couple months. but good to see ruslan admit defeat like a man. fukk a draw. he knows he got that ass taxed.

I was def like :damn: :damn: after that 6th or 7th round where it was practically a 10-8 round for Matthysse.

Lol @ that 2nd Dulorme knockdown. Terence def gets in "finish him" mode when he sees it.
