Didn't hurt him..stunned him in a out of position set up. Then he came back even harder. Swelling his eye the very next round. It's like the critics just see the worst and doesn't deconstruct the entire scenario..that's people with an agenda. It's all good. Everyone that picks Crawford will learn on July 29th..Spence was ready to fight Canrlo at 160 a few years ago if they offered the money up...it didn't work out. He will hit Crawford in ways you've never seen. Especially on the inside.
Dude is fighting complete chumps in the Welter..nyggas on here was clowning Kell Brook right before the Crawford fight. Porter definitely didn't go hard either. Mean Machine was unproven in the pros. Amir Khan been fell off. Jose Benavidez tagged him nonstop for 12 rounds...but nyggas think he obliterate Spence in under 7 rounds? Lol

bitterness? shyt i was right on the money about him
You have this bitterness that stems from him beating Lucas. Just gotta let it go.
I also picked Matthyse to win the fight, and he failed.
We not gonna act like Garcia isn't on Pat's shytlist. It's always been Garcia, Cotto, and Leonard Ellerbe. Gotta let this hatred go.You ain't got nothing positive to say about these gentlemen.

Pat may hate Danny but not a lie was told in this postHe's right...Danny Garcia was a job boy to the top welters..his best 147 win was mercy stoppage..so he ran to 160 to try to pick up an easy belt at a catchweight...pathetic
lol do you know how many fighters i dont like? i just shyt on caleb plant for similar things and even less talent and drive... you like garcia and i know him not panning out irritates you so much that you still think a fight with lara at a catchweight isnt BS

Hearn Says Barboza Needed To Be ‘Overpaid’ To Fight Prograis on June 17 Card

Eddie Hearn says Arnold Barboza Jr. wanted too much money to fight for the WBC 140-pound title held by his client, Regis Prograis.
Barboza, an undefeated 31-year-old contender from Los Angeles, became the immediate frontrunner to land a fight with Prograis in the headliner on June 17 at Smoothie King Arena in Prograis’ hometown of New Orleans after it became known that the original opponent, Liam Paro, had to bow out due to an injury.
But repeated efforts to make that fight eventually went nowhere.
In the end, Danielito Zorrilla, a once-defeated fighter out of Puerto Rico, filled in to preserve Prograis’ fight date, his first under Hearn’s Matchroom.
Barboza has claimed on social media that Hearn was lowballing him and seemed to complain that he was only being given “three weeks’ notice.” Barboza, of course, is backed by Top Rank, a rival to Hearn’s Matchroom, and Barboza’s manager, Rick Mirigian, has feuded with Prograis numerous times over the years.
“We made Arnold Barboza three different offers to Top Rank, and the money was a lot more than what we were paying Liam Paro,” Hearn said. “They can talk about this money and that money. The reality is that it was five weeks’ notice or less. I don’t think Barboza was ready unless you overpaid him.
“I don’t know what Barboza is going to do.”
Zorilla’s lone career loss, in fact, came against Barboza last year in a 10-round bout that Barboza won by unanimous decision.
Hearn, who has plans for Prograis to eventually unify belts, liked what he saw from the Puerto Rican Zorilla in that fight.
“Zorilla had a really good fight with Barboza,” Hearn said. “If you watch it back, it was a really good fight. He’s a good fighter. He’s Puerto Rican and comes to fight. I like the style. We do have three weeks to go. So it wasn’t easy to get a major name. Zorilla will come to fight, he’s a talent, and I think it’ll be a really good fight for Regis to move into the big fights.”
