Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford Finally Catches The Big Fish

[Gary Coleman]

"As good as Crawford appeared to be, those he was reeling in for the better part of a decade were never considered capable of evading the vast net of skill and ferocity he casts."

See. We're not crazy. This was exactly it. Been saying it over and over again. You could clearly see his talent, but I needed to see it vs the top tier guys.

Welp...I saw it and it was vs my favorite guy in boxing. Kudos. He's as good as advertised.

Still remember when Crawford was struggling and losing rounds to blown up featherweight Yuriorkis Gamboa.

He's never been a draw outside omaha. Signed and then willingly re-signed with bob. A geezer who did a horrible job promoting him, publicly dissed his own fighter on air, and called him a loss leader. Then delayed the Spence fight by over a year so he could collect a paycheck in a beyond meaningless sparring session.

By the time it finally happened Spence was coming off 2 car accidents, 15 months of inactivity, and killing himself to make the weight. Despite that, still thought Spence would win. Gotta give Crawford credit. He's come a long way and is undoubtedly P4P #1.

the fight happening 5 years to late is ENTIRELY on his advisor Haymon . that idiot tried to freeze crawford out and age him. then got his boy ruined once crawford infiltrated the PBC and now has begun destroying it from the inside. Haymon is a moron. and his fighters are hype jobs lol lol. can't wait for tank to fight Shakur. bet it don't happen. if it does its gonna go horribly wrong for the ra ra girls of pbc

For year in and year out excuse after excuse, but at the end of the day, it was a well deserved one sided beat down.

The cherry on the top, would be to kick both the Charlo cheer leaders ask is, up and down the street.

But after what the 35 year old Crawford did to Spence, that is not going to happen, no way and no how.

And here we go again with, "I'm the A side , Al won't let me fight him, blah, blah, blah"

But what they won't be able to say any more is, "Who has he fought?"

Aside from buds obvious skill, this article is written so well, the structure and especially the metaphor of bud angling in the water. Dope.

fyi; after the stoppage when bud jumped on the ropes he was calling out charlo. I’m not sure what was said but I’m assuming it was along the lines of “I got your boy, you’re next!” Peep it, charlo right there few rows back. Bud takes his belts next. He’s on a historical run. Al can’t protect his stable any longer.

Someone behind Charlo was recording, its on reddit, he tells Charlo twice to suck his di ck.

apparently he also told him you're next but I haven't seen recording of that audio.

A few people, including myself, have been saying for a few years that Bud was a throwback fighter with all timer power and skill. And also saying that he would beat Spence rather easily. It feels good to see Bud finally get the recognition. After every one of his fights over the past few years, I just shook my head and said, how can people not see that this dude is incredible? He has ko power in both hands, the highest ring IQ of any boxer in the era, he is a world class finisher.

He's never had a rival to test him, and as many thought it would be Spence, he is a far better fighter than Spence ever was. I don't think anyone survives 12 rounds with him at 147 or 154. He almost certainly retires undefeated and as P4P #1, a first ballot HOF and a top 20 all timer.

i can go along with what you said up and until the end of it all. now this business of no one ever beating him ? Eh even in a round about way he will earn a loss to someone not necessarily someone better then him but mistakes happen people make them, and he is no exception. Call it beating yourself if you want to. One mistake in the ring can cause a lot of things to happen, that said good thought about putting that type of pressure on a fighters future. Still even if he lingers too long in the the ring a loss will most likely come. Not hoping it to happen but past history does suggest..............

So much silence on the other side of street.

Bud walking in with Em and a fishing net is one of the most underrated walk ins for an undisputed fight.

What a week for us boxing nuts.

Best I can recall in my time.

Too bad both fights weren't even competitive, still good week for boxing overall I agree.

[steeve steel]

It's the JOSHUA CURSE! Ever since he joined Derrick James' gym, Martin almost lost, Spence got destroyed, Charlo is about to get humiliated by Canelo. They must call an exorcist and kick him out now, before it's too late!

Why is nobody talking about that??? And the fishing net on his shorts! I knew the fight was over as soon as I saw that...
