Undisputed 140 King: Terence "Bud" Crawford vs. Julius Indongo (ESPN, Aug 19)

[duncanthetall]

How long will Crawford remain humble and faithful?

Hate to say this...

I mean, his wife is not exactly the best looking chick in the world. She was probably the best he could could get at some point in his life.

He's definitely going to stray as he blows up.

If I was a pro boxer n my woman was her size...I dunno. They have like 20 kids. Fooling around would be dumb.

Any one not having Ward #1 and Crawford # 2 I can't take seriously

Crawford washes every single guy at 147 outside of Errol Spence.
Brook could've given him problems too but I doubt he'll ever be the same fighter again after the last 2 fights.
All those other guys like Porter, Thurman and Garcia are nothing special at all and would get worked

I disagree simply because Crawford has already shown that he can be hurt at 140 & below. He dominates anyone from LWW and below, but the natural welterweights will be able to bully him, and fights will begin to become a lot closer. I want to see Crawford at 147, but it's undoubtedly a step up. If he continues to succeed, he'll be an all time fighter. The natural WW should keep him from looking invincible unless he really is that great.

Crawford is my favorite guy( along with Ward) but the jury is out at 147. Can he beat them .....yes?

Would I pick him to win.....yes....Will he...this is boxing and Thurman, Spence and Garcia are rock solid. A bad night or anything could happen. Too bad TR will give us Horn, Manny and Vargas.

 

[malbaker86]

nevermind then we mean different things by "getting destroyed"
sure he dominated them and widely UD them but I meant destroyed by physical harm and KOs...

Lol yea "outclassed" would have been a better word to use.

You luke Bud at 147? I'm skeptical

Yeah I like him there
I mean... no reason to be skeptical imo
He didn't really show any weakness so far.

He has world class skills, was in a weak division but he dealt with the opponents like a world class fighter should, got 6 KOs from 7 fights and barely got tagged, never lost a round after the 3rd or 4th round...

So yeah I'm optimistic about his chances in 147

With high ring iq he adapts very fast to new situations, packed serious power in 140 which probably won't be that great in 147 but it won't completely disappear either because of those 7 pounds. He will still have elite skills, movement, ring iq and good/decent power.
I can see him beating everyone in 147. Spence vs Crawford I'd say 50-50 but I'd pick him against Thurman, Porter and Swift. I'd pick him the most convincingly against Swift then Thurman then Porter. Because of the different style matchups.
I wouldn't suggest him to start 147 with Spence or Porter though but I think he could beat Swift pretty widely even if it would be his 1st fight in 147

He also beats Vargas, Horn and Pac

 

[Bleed The Freak]

I personally want him to go against Lamont at 147 then Garcia Thurman then Spence...

well since he's on Top Rank, he's not getting a crack at any of those PBC boys unless it's for some sort of unification scrap

Yeah if you saw my earlier post I'm pissed it'll be Horn, Manny, Vargas gahbugh.

 

[OfTheCross]

Actually you sort are making it up as you go, because undisputed really means every belt in your division. It doesn't mean the 3 major or 4 major belts or anything like that.
Its like a marketing term if you say just four belts matter, or 3 belts matter, especially when the IBO and WBO are the same age and the IBO never had an issue ranking dead people.
4 belts seems good enough to me to say you are undisputed if we aren't going to say all the belts and the ring belt.

Think of it this was...there are many Golf and Tennis tournaments every year but only 4 or 5 are considered Majors.

If you win all 4 Majors you got the Grand Slam.

If you win the 4 Major belts you get to be undisputed

 

[reservoirdogs]

I think he gets the WBO quick then maybe a mandatory with Jessie Vargas or some other TR opponent but after that I can see him fighting PBC guys.
I think Arum is down for that hopefully Al too.

Their relationship has gotten better. If I know it right Beterbiev will sign to TR but Haymon stays his manager. That would be promising

 

[Perfectson]

Would like to have lomenchenko move up and fight Crawford before Crawford moved to ww

To have two top p4p guys in striking distance seems like an obvious match
