    [POLL] Crawfords Performance - Ring Rust or Father Time?

    I'll be honest, I wasn't hyperfocused on what Crawford was doing because I had both fights on my screen. Yes he knocked out Avanescence, but he was supposed to.

    Some thoughts for me was he looked hella rusty. But then I started to think that maybe this was a bit of Father Time showing up to the show?

    What do you guys think?

      He got hit a couple of times of which he shouldn't have been supposed too... he did look rusty, but he is still a phenomenon unorthodox fighter.

      Age catches up with everyone; still though, I think he beats Spence, Jr if the fight gets made.

        Looked to be a little bit of both,ring rust and father time. Idk,but he appeared to be a little more stationary in there and got hit with wide hooks that looked to be avoidable. He's certainly at the age where father time starts to rear it's ugly head.

          I don't call that a finish really, it was a counter-punching clean KO as opposed to switching gears and going after a hurt guy to take him out, Bud was just sailing along and boom.

          DA couldn't punch for sht his KOs were euro B-C grade guys, he was smaller than Bud and looked to have no power and he hit Bud flush with some shots and TC never flinched where he has often been wobbled in fights, his timing looked ok it was an easy fight more like a sparing session, but it was supposed to be real easy DA was way out of his depth,

            Crawford was playing with his food and wasn't taking the fight seriously.

              How do you know that though? He was slow on his feet and taking shots he normally wouldn't have.

                Cuz the guy he fought was a bum, Crawford had to give the people their money's worth and give them a good show.

                    Errol The Truth needs to be proactive in the next negotiations if he's really serious to get on with this fight. Relying on negotiators alone with little interest in making it happen is not the way to go. Spence should be acting like he's the main boss, not Haymon or anybody else. Just like what Terence the Bud is doing right now.
