Crawford :russ:


I been saying for months this was the move :dead:.... I fukking love Top Rank :mjlol:



Can’t wait to hear how it’s Errybody else’s fault but buds :pachaha:

2019 looking real uneventful for Crawford.
First, Khan and now some nikka the Career mode developers made with a bunch of random letters for a name.

If you p4p top 3 facing that type of comp, you may as well take that Thurman break. :manny:

Shiiet, I rather see Bud play Tekken than box some of the names that this nikka ends up fighting. Out of all the boxers we been shytting on in here for years for not fighting anybody worth a damn, Crawford is literally the last nikka to graduate. :snoop:

Well at least he moving up on the casual chess player p4p lists . :mjgrin:

I think Thurman might end up fighting Spence before Bud does.
After the Porter and Pac wins, that fight will be just too big to ignore. Bud gon have to settle for the winner or Swift, Figgy, etc...

lowkey this is not a bad card for friday morning :manny:

FRIDAY (7 a.m. ET on ESPN+)

"Breakfast and Boxing" returns with one of the year’s most highly anticipated rematches, as Rob Brant will make the second defense of his WBA middleweight world title against the man he defeated to win the belt, Ryota Murata, at EDION Arena Osaka in Osaka, Japan.

Brant (25-1, 17 KOs) upset Murata last October in Las Vegas, snatching the belt in a thrilling performance that saw him throw 1,262 punches, the second-most ever recorded by CompuBox in a middleweight bout. Murata (14-2, 11 KOs), who became a sporting hero in Japan after capturing Olympic gold at the 2012 London Olympics, has not fought since. Brant, meanwhile, defended his belt in February on his home turf with an ESPN-televised 11th-round TKO over the previously undefeated Khasan Baysangurov in Hinckley, Minnesota.

In the co-feature, Ken “The Amazing Boy” Shiro will make the sixth defense of his WBC light flyweight title against Filipino challenger Jonathan Taconing.

Shiro (15-0, 8 KOs), Japan’s longest-reigning current world champion, won the title May 20, 2017, with a majority decision over Ganigan Lopez. He went 3-0 in 2018, including a second-round knockout over Lopez in May on a card that streamed on ESPN+. In his last fight, Dec. 30 in Tokyo, he won a near-shutout decision over Saul Juarez. Taconing (28-3-1, 22 KOs) will be making his third attempt at the WBC light flyweight title. He lost a technical decision to Kompayak Porpramook in 2012 and a unanimous decision to Ganigan Lopez in 2016.

@aceboon that ken shiro cat that we saw on that payano-monster undercard is fighting

:ld: Brant vs Murata was definitive enough for me first time, I would be surprised if Murata would win, always been overhyped to me, too mechanic, patient to a fault

Shiro's the goods but that cat he's fighting is a huge underdog so I'm not expecting anything from that one

That was expected imo, not a surprise.
PBC having its own mini league at 147, it's not their interest to give the rival's fighter shine by letting him beat their better known names like Swift or Porter. Arum isn't trying his very best to get those fights to Crawford either. It's like both of them would have accepted that the earliest this fight will happen will be when PBC is ready with its mini tournament. If everything is going fast then that can be next year. :yeshrug:Spence and Porter winner vs Thurman vs Pac winner, after that there's no sensible fight for the winner other than Crawford, except if the winner would retire (if Pac would somehow come out on top) or move up in weight (a possibility with all Spence Thurman and Porter...).

We're living in the age of in house fight fever. I know it's like that for decades but nowadays especially. All these promoters and channels are so damn scared to lose their investments that they rarely if ever letting their meaningful fighters to fight other meaningful fighters from different promotions/channels. No promoter is exception, Arum with his allergy to let his fighters in the WBSS or that time when he made the same fights over and over again at 147 at the beginning of this decade.
Or PBC with not letting Tank anywhere near to a fighter who's not in house even if that means that they feed him 126ers cause they haven't got anybody other than Tank at 130.

If Top Rank would hold the cards at 147 and let's say Spence would be the only one being with PBC we would have a different conversation. Similarly if PBC would hold all the cards at 160 and let's say Jacobs or GGG would be the only one with DAZN we would have a different conversation there too.
Some of the few relevant cross-house fights from last year what I can recall were mandatories and that's the only reason why they happened (Gvozdyk vs Stevenson, GRJ vs Jojo)
there are a few exception like Fury vs Wilder II if it really does happen in February or Hooker vs Ramirez a few weeks later.

Its not all that expected since some people still running with the narrative that Thurman ducking Spence and will continue to do so.
Plus not to long ago them reports came out about Arum willing to make Bud vs. Spence.

but at the end of the day boxing is more wishful thinking then anything, so we'll see what happens.

:mjlol: at house fight fever. shyt so true. That same fever that brought us Rios/Alvarado 3x and Bradley/Pac 3x.
