doesnt really look on to me, canelo 'seems' to be demanding big big bucks & not too keen on it otherwise & now not working with turki at the moment, the key lies with canelo i think, could be wrong of course

Crawford definitely fired shots at Canelo, and made some valid points too, but I don't know if it's helpful:

I like Virgil, but he DID NOT win that fight. I don't understand how these judges can continue to get away with this. Judges should be held accountable for things like this just like the Boxers, Coaches / Trainers. The boxing commissions should also be held accountable as well. This really damages the sport. It was a great action packed fight, but the wrong guy had his hand raised. I mean really what more can you do after knocking the guy down twice and he clearly won more rounds than just the 2 where he knocked Ortiz down. He wouldn't be Crawford. I realize Crawford had a tough fight again a much tougher 154 champ, but he wouldn't beat Crawford. Again, this is no disrespect to Ortiz.

Did you score the fight? If so, would you post your round scores? I was rooting for Vergil, but acknowledge that it could certainly have been given to Bohachuk. Having said that, most of the rounds were a challenge to score because both guys were doing good work and receiving punishment. The KDs themselves were about the least significant KDs one could imagine in a fight, and many folks seemed to think that Vergil won the 8th round in which he got officially dropped. I almost always score fights that I care about, but I just watched this one. Had I scored it, I imagine I would have had a hard time being convinced of my final tally. I 'll watch it back soon and see what i come up with. For now, I think the scorecards were reasonable, but understand why many folks picked Bohachuk.
