they put him in to be a name for a prospect like Provodnikov, he barely survived.
Seemed a dumb fight to make. You don't put a man in there with a great chin power puncher, if you are out to build Tim's career.i dont think you want to call provodnikov a prospect esp since that fight was at 147...he was an ESPN fighter who was competing at 140..he was brought in to be a stay busy opponent that bradley would box his head off and keep it movin..well we all know what happened but top rank didnt make that fight to elevate provodnikov thats for damn sure though lol

lolManny minus tordal is a top 3 defensive fighter....Manny would of koed that fat bum Crawford fought last night within 3
Shakur stevenson signing with Top Rank is one of the dumbest things I've seen.
Kid should see how Arum and DeBouf fukked over Oscar, Floyd, Manny, and even MIkey Garcia how they are screwing over Bradley and Crawford.
Yet he wats to sign with him instead of a man like Al Haymon.
shyt makes no sense.
Watched this last night and honestly for the first couple of rounds I think Crawford looked pretty average.
Then at the midway point he was completely toying with Diaz and almost looked bored in there. The trajectory of dudes fights are kind of crazy. He's not the first fighter to take a couple rounds to "figure an opponent out", it's just so dramatic the way he flips the switch once he does
