how can it be bradley when they barely met for the first time a few years ago for sparring lmfao. You know thats when they made the truce to never fight each other cause they both cowards.
Why are you worried about him fighting Bradley. Crawford is fighting at 140 and the man to beat there. Crawford is the reason they're are even entertaining moving back down to 135. Now I gotta listen to Garcia spout bull**** to avoid like only fighting on Showtime and Bob Arum might not work with him. Lets not forget Robert Garcia's "The fight needs time to build" or "Maybe down the line".
Crawford they boogie man. Mikey 29 years old and Robert talking like he a prospect.
I think he got better over the years, tends to happen when someone practice their craft.
FYI: No Managers/promotional company saw anything in crawford, saw no future for him in boxing due to his amatuer style so no one signed him, wasnt till Mikey Garcia told toprank and duncan that they need to sign crawford and this is how crawford got with toprank.
It was Bradley not Mikey. Talented people including hall of fame talented people get overlooked all the time just look at football for example(A. Gates, J. Randle, etc). Quit trying to credit Mikey for things he didn't do. Next your gonna say he is a champ at 140. If Mikey is brave he will call for the winner of next months fight end of story.
lol you obviously do not know boxing like you think you do.
Okay you think Crawford is better than mikey okay whatever but to say Mikey who is an expert at timing and distance wont be able to deal with a jab for 8 rounds lmfao. Im done here lmfao you casuals are crazy today.
Where was all that expertise of timing and distance when he lost to Crawford in the amateurs. He lost then and would lose now. Crawford has fought the better opposition and punches harder on top of the superior skills.
Crawford made easy work out of Mikey in the amateurs, which has nothing to do with the pros but I'd still favor Crawford to win a clear decision
Mikey is a very good boxer...BUT, Crawford has so many subtle adjustments and he is a naturally bigger boxer. I see him getting Mikey's timing down after 2-3 rounds then starting to pull away, punishing Garcia down the stretch.
Skills are not equal. Mikey is a master at controlling range. Crawford wont be the first tall person with reach Mikey has faced lol.
This! Nobody ever talks about Mikey ability to control range. With that range and timing and cutting off the ring he does so many subtle things that pass over the casuals..
Crawford is still too much for Garcia at this point, and he's getting better every fight out. As great as Mikey is, I feel he's just a step behind Bud in overall skill.
If Mikey Garcia decides to challenge Bud Crawford then I will tip my hat off and give him major props for it because that would be a huge step up in competition for him. That'll prove once and for all that he is a true champion and not a fraud unlike like that cherry picking Danny the "Gift" Garcia is.
Hard to tell for sure but Crawford looks faster - both hand and footspeed to me. More athletic fighter of the two
Would favour Crawford. He's also the bigger 140 pounder
Gotta side with a Crawford here.
He's an exceptional fighter and destined to be at the top for years to come imo. Crawford v Garcia and Crawford v Spence would be amazing fights.
Agreed Mikey looked out of shape or at the very least a blown up lightweight. I think Mickey needs to build more muscle, he will need the strength against stronger fighters.
He looked a bit slow and plodding too.
Yep..Mikey has skills but if that was Crawford last night he would have gotten stopped IMO
Too soon for this fight..mikey needs to grow a bit more
