Not sure if anyone posted this yet. Turki Alashikh said Crawford has a minor health issue and currently isn't training. Timestamp 3:19 ish mark.
Said he was pushing for the Vergil and Bud fight after Boots (team) stopped answering his calls.


Turki sounding stress but maybe it's just his accent but either way he learning what promotors go through.

Edit 17:46 Says he still would like to make Crawford and Canelo match.

Are y'all nikkas for real? :dead:

I mean its a legit question. :youngsabo:

I had them nikkas do a twitter poll like last week cuz a few people on twitter were trying to say Cordina was a better opponent for Shakur instead of Floyd Scofield. Mind you Cordina was brutally stopped by a non puncher in his last fight and would have to be moving up. I don't care how struggle Floyd looked in his last fight, he still a better opponent than Cordina is within that circumstance. Twitter poll results felt the same way.

Twitter polls get pulled out once there's nothing left to debate and we just wanna see who else is fukking with that train of thought.

I like Vinny as a person, met him a few times...but a HOFer he was not

I remember watching that Nun and Kalambay fight on youtube a while back and it did not go as I expected. Dropped dude in the first round.

Cool to see dude getting his flowers. I know he got into some trouble or something later in his life.

I thought the Quartey fight was close in real time. Had he not gotten knocked down at the end I thought he had Oscar. Pernell fight was a literal robbery though. That was a fight that help set the standard for some of the b.s. judging we have today basically giving all the credit to the more aggressive fighter and not giving an ounce of credit for defense and efficiency.
It was. P had OLH in the matrix

Absolute Facts. Unfortunately for Sweet Pea, towards the end of his career he was used as a permanent B side of main event fights to give the A side "good competitive rounds" with no chance of ever winning no matter how good he looked in the fight

It was evident when he faced Julio Cesar Chavez, De La Hoya, and Trinidad

Reminds me of how Tevin Farmer is treated now
P made defense look entertaining. I just wish he had true power in his hand to put them to sleep so there would be no doubt. Especially Chavez

Tito was the first person to TRULY beat Pernell
FACTS.

Not like I'm bias or anything :russ: R.I.P. to the GOAT :to:

The same Joe Cordina that got his brain knocked around by Anthony Cacace? :heh:
