This is not a fight where one guy is a massive massive favorite and the cherry pick goes wrong. This is a real 50-50 fight. 2 brutal punchers with unreal skill meeting in the center of the ring in a showdown for undisputed in boxing's toughest division and p4p supremacy.
This is 2 guys, fighting each other in their prime, both considered top 5 p4p by all, who simply want to face the most dangerous opponent possible. Especially Bud Crawford, who started his career at 135, has now moved up to 147 because there was a man that the boxing world said may be better than him, was the boogeyman, and the most feared man in boxing. The second they say this guy may be able to beat Bud, the second Bud said "I want that smoke." He didn't say "you want payday." He didn't say "he's a HORRIBLE" fighter. He said "bring it on." "If you say that is the man who can beat me, then that is the man I want to beat."
Much respect to these 2 for a true risk taking fight.
