He isn't wrong and I found it shocking how nobody was mentioning this when breaking down the fight, its the first thing that should have been analysed. I don't buy Crawford fights just as well in either stance, I think he is better as a southpaw and spends 90% of his fights in the southpaw stance where he is more comfortable with a more educated lead hand he uses to dictate fights.
Usually its always the backhand in a southpaw you have to watch out for the lead is more a distraction so fighters are really, really not used to a southpaw with such a good, stiff jab and hook and it causes them all sorts of issues trying to defend them because Bud is so good at disguising them and hooking off the jab and changing the flight and angle of his shots mid-throw.
I think there might be a very similar situation for Fury vs Usyk, most of Furys amateur losses came vs southpaws, he hasn't looked too hot in the pros vs them either in particular Eastern European styled ones. I honestly think he knows how difficult that fight is and will put it off for as long as possible knowing Usyk is starting too slow down.
