Fantastic performance by Crawford. He made Indongo look very basic, which he isn't. Terence just slipped the left every time and placed his shots masterfully. The left hook was wicked
Based on what? His wins over Postol and Indongo? Or his come from behind win against fat featherweight? Crawford has looked good but he hasn't faced world class punchers like he would at 147.
Crawford did look very good last night. I gotta agree though, the competition was definitely lagging at 140. I'm really excited about seeing him in a loaded 147 division. There will be some much tougher matchups for him there.
Only a retard would give Danny Garcia a chance against Crawford. Danny is too slow, too hittable, and too one dimensional for TC. Of the Garcia's, Mikey would be the more difficult matchup for TC since Mikey has elite skills. Cherry Garcia isn't a P4P level fighter. Crawford would beat the Hell outta him.
Yes. It would be Floyd's greatest accomplishment. Crawford would be his best career oppoment, beating him at 40 would be a HUGE accomplishment.
The MORE Fruitful Matchups, the MERRIER, in REED's Opinion... REED Thinks Spence-Crawford Would Take a Tad Looooooooooooonger to Materialize, So he's Not Kicking Lomachenko-Garcia to the Curb @ All... Top Rank Will Undoubtedly Look to Match Crawford IN HOUSE 1st, w/the Winner of the Pac-Horn RE...Crawford Having the WBO Welter Title Makes him a More Intriguing Option @ '47... Meanwhile, Spence will Defend 1nce, then Hopefully Get a Date w/Thurman by Summer 2018...Earliest Spence-Crawford Would Realistically Happen is LATE 2018... Meanwhile, After Last Night, Mikey Garcia NEEDS Lomachenko for a "Big" Fight Opponent...Crawford's NOT Hanging Around '40, and '47 is an UNREALISTIC Weight for Mikey, as REED Types... Since it Appears Loma's Closing Out the Year w/Rigondeaux, Mikey Needs to Go Ahead and Unify vs. Linares...Then, Lomachenko-Garcia Could Be an EARLY Big Fight of 2018, Summer 2018 @ the Latest... REED
All I'm saying is I know Crawford's a great fighter and he's P4P top 5...at 140. I am not ready to elevate him to the top of 147 division based on this. Especially when his two biggest wins were against non-punchers.
Finally got round to seeing the fight, Crawford was brilliant. Him Vs Spence is big, I love Spence but right now I'm leaning towards Crawford to nick it.
Very impressive win for Crawford. I thought this would be a difficult matchup for him and he made Indongo look like a skill-less clubfighter. Great win. MTF
Let's be very frank about Danny Garcia... he hasn't looked quality in 5 years. Crawford vs Thurman is dependent on how TC looks at 147. But if he carries the weight well, he wins. Thurman is a very flawed fighter.
Great win for Crawford, but I didn't tought Indogo was much of a threat. I don't think that this win proved he'll whoop the like of Thurman and Garcia
It's too bad that 140 is weak. Crawford definitely needs to move up to make better money and challenges.
This is nothing spur of the moment for me on Garcia. I've been saying for YEARS I'd pick TC over Garcia. Cmonnnn people... Danny Garcia has no answer whatsoever for speed and angles, and he's horrible against southpaws. Want proof that he's horrible against southpaws? He struggled against washed up versions of Judah and Guerrero, getting hurt by both. Crawford beats Danny in a one sided fight. Either lopsided UD, or Angel Garcia possibly stops it between rounds at some point. We can debate Crawford-Thurman if you like. But I see no arguement for Garcia dealing with Crawford.
Garcia was whooping Judah pretty handily before getting hurt. He has good accuracy and I think he will land on Crawford. Would I pick him? No, but I think he has a chance
He'd have a CHANCE... but not a good one. I'd view it as a big pretty big upset if Garcia beat Crawford. Everything about styles, ability, and skill points to Crawford being on another level. Garcia needs focus on Porter though, cause that's bascially a 50-50 fight.
To Your Point, Porter's a TOUGHER Matchup for Crawford (than Garcia), Stylistically...Porter Ain't Tall or Terribly Skilled, but he IS a Thick, Strong, Physical, In-Your-Face Welter... Danny's More of a FINESSE Fighter, and his ONLY Chance Against Crawford is the Patented Eye's Closed, Looping Left Hand...Thing is, Crawford's Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay Toooooo Good to Come Undone Against a Fighter who LITERALLY Only Has 1 Weapon to Be Concerned w/... REED
Yeah, Porter would be tougher fight for TC, I agree. Still, it's hard to see a technician as good as TC lose to a guy as UNskilled as Porter. Spence and Thurman are the only two guys at 147 with a realistic chance of beating TC. And no, last night didn't change my opinion on Spence-Crawford, I'd still pick EJ.
REED GETS Why he's Not Highly Thought of, but The Thing w/Porter is he MAKES Guys Fight HIS Fight... Kell Brook's the Only Guy that CONSISTENTLY Thwarted Porter's Advances, and Brook is BIGGER than Crawford Is...Taller AND Considerably Thicker...Even in the Loss to Keith Thurman, the Fight was Fought Primarily WHERE Porter Wanted it to Be... REED Would PICK Crawford Over Porter as Well, but it'd Be VERY Interesting to See if Crawford Wins By MAINTAINING Distance OR HANDLING Porter Inside...Crawford's a GOOD Infighter, but @ SOME Point, Size and Strength Becomes a Factor... Crawford-Porter is a 60-40 Fight @ MOST, in Crawford's Favor, in REED's Opinion... REED
