Or I suppose I just ask, what round does Amir get stopped and how competitive will he be? I'm thinking Bud in 6. I think Khan gives him problems for 3 rounds, then class tells before Crawford badly hurts him and stops him.
Pretty much the same. Khan's speed and movement will make it tricky for Crawford early on. Also, I don't expect Khan to do a stupid move as he did against Garcia, instead Crawford will have to find him and chop him down. Crawford in six sounds reasonable
I rewatched Khan-Malignaggi the other night, and in fairness to Amir, that peak version of him might have given Crawford a lot of problems. Although, Crawford is a class above, so hard to envision any version of Khan actually winning. But the 2010 Khan would Crawford a good amount of trouble. Khan has considerably faded from what he was then, so it's an easier fight for Bud.
Crawford needs to carry him at least 4 so I feel like I get my money's worth. I'll be disappointed if Bud ends it inside of 3.
On a serious note, I would think that a Khan win, however unlikely it may be, would surpass Honeyghan-Curry as the biggest British upset of modern history.
I reckon he can raise his game a tad bit higher than what he showed against Vargas. He is faded though, he cant change that. Crawford inside of 3 is possible, but I'm gonna give Khan enough respect to say it goes a tad longer.
Yeah Crawford can beat Leonard but he can’t afford to box against Khan because he’d lose.... Arum is more senile than I thought. Anyhow, Crawford within 5. Khan’s speed is his only advantage. Crawford has him beat in everything else. Any version of Khan.
Also according to Arum, Mayweather would have jumped up to 154 in 2001 and beaten Oscar, and he was the best fighter he’d ever promoted. Mayweather vs. Crawford, wonder what old Bob thinks about that.
arum doesnt believe his own hyperbole. that was the case 30 years ago just as it is today. he is surprisingly lucid at his age, though.
Vintage Khan Fight... He’ll Trouble Crawford Early w/Speed and Combinations, Bud Will Play Around w/Stances Until He Finds His Range, Eventually Lands FLUSH and Knocks Khan the Fuck Out. w/Crawford Being a Slow Starter He’ll For Sure Be BEHIND on the Cards, But it Won’t Matter. Khan Will Endure Yet Another Highlight Reel KO Loss by the 7th or 8th. REED
I dunno why Bud would fight southpaw in this one. Khan has success against southpaws. If he makes it a point to fight orthodox and fight aggressively, he can end this early.
I'm excited. A brotha doesnt have the time to go out much anymore. Work, and dad life takes up 98% of my time. Gonna be nice to have a guy's night out with a couple of my boys and see Khan get flattened in person.
You Should Be Excited Bruh... Khan’s NEVER in a Bad Fight, Crawford’s Arguably THE Best Fighter In the World and you Got Teofimo and Shakur On the Undercard. Quality Shit. REED was Hoping to Be There Himself, But Wasn’t Credentialed. Pugilism Company Ain’t Big Enough for an NYC Fight Just Yet, it Seems. REED
Ive only been to one khan fight that i can recall, and it was a real treat. Khan beat some mexican midget at the LA Sports Arena and afterward all the brazen pakistani fellas got beat the fuck down by mexican goons/gang members. i saw one guy in particular get KOd cold and hit the back of his head with tremendous force on the hard concrete of the sports arena entrance area.
It’s Always Hilarious When a Race of Fans are FALSELY Emboldened by the Success of One of Their Own, and Convinced THEY Can Fight Just Because the Dude they Rooted for Can Fight. “Since Khan is Pakistani and Whupped a Mexican, I Too can Whup a Mexican!” Uuuuuh, No. REED
Or as Eddie Murphy Said (Paraphrasing), “Rocky Balboa Had Every 5’5 Italian Thinking They Could Whup a Brother.” REED
I was watching Prograis' interview with Pugilism Company earlier today. Regis thinks your boy Hooker is "the worst belt holder" in boxing.
Yeah, that was Sarge Interviewing Him. He Owns the Site, Name, Everything and Anointed REED “Black Bert Sugar” 10-15 Years Ago. REED
