Weird I see nobody really talking about this fight and it's only a couple of weeks away. So, who do you have winning?
I think this is going to be the toughest fight of Crawford's career. Diaz is an Olympic gold medalist whose only loss was a MD to Lamont Peterson which many thought he won. I see Crawford boxing from the outside and winning a UD along the lines of 115-113. I don't think he can knock Diaz out.
We all know Crawford isn't gonna fight on the inside though.
Had Peterson boxed more he would had beaten Diaz.
TC maybe able to catch him coming in with that uppercut as well. Peterson had pretty good success with it.
I think Crawford can be drawn into somewhat of a brawl, especially if he feels Diaz can't hurt him
He's better skill wise then Gamboa was. Better counter puncher and inside game. Heck he was giving Peterson a run for his money on the inside and that's Peterson's bread and butter.
Although I don't think TC will oblige if Diaz wants to make it a rough fight on the inside, but I could be wrong. Crawford seems like he's down to fight however it needs to go

Diaz is 5'5" or listed as 5'5" and was shorter than Peterson. He still smaller than Crawford and doesn't posses the attributes Gamboa did to make up for the size difference.
Im not sure if Im making sense. Im tired as hell.

Yes, Gamboa lost but he made it competitive and hurt Crawford till he got stopped. Diaz may have a better chin but I don't think it will be competitive.
I think Diaz is naturally bigger doe. He's also fought at 147 before

The size difference is too much and I don't think Diaz is as fast or hits as hard as Gamboa to make up for it so... I say UD for Crawford.

You know how it is around here man. Unless it's the RBR thread then threads actually talking about boxing don't get much traffic. Should of made this one racial
Crawford vs Diaz; which of the two black men wins?
Hopefully this thread gets more hits than Hanz's threads. Seems like if it isn't javi creating them then nobody cares. :lol1:

I think Diaz will make it a tough fight with his versatility and grit, but I can't pick against Crawford at 140 at the moment
Yeah the last time I doubted him a bit was the Postol fight. I won't make that mistake again
I'm betting Crawford is going to use his bike once again in this fight. He's fighting a guy whose only loss was against an established Peterson in a close fight.
Crawford wins in what is probably a pretty uneventful fight. Neither guy is going to push the issue and Diaz is not going to make it easy for Crawford to just get him without being able to do that much to Crawford. Hopefully it is a good chess match sort of fight, I think that is about the best you can hope for.
