    Terence Crawford technical flaws

    What are some subtle flaws that you’ve noticed in Crawford’s overall style?

    I noticed he tends to leave his head exposed a bit when he throws shots to the body and a quick counter puncher can make him paid with short straight punches if he’s not too careful. Not really a technical flaw, but he tends to be too overly aggressive when he gets hit a few times trying to return fire right away and that can be a mistake against a high IQ boxer who can exploit that to his advantage.

    Few great fighters would take 3 straight right hands in a row to the face

      His whole aura as a switch-hitter is a myth. I’ve never seen him successfully dominate an entire fight in the orthodox stance. Once dude gets hit, all that **** goes right out the window and he reverts back to his comfortable southpaw stance where he’s at his best.

        Bozy Ennis mentioned TBud 80% of the time southpaw to shut down the comparisons with Jaron

          Unpopular opinion, prime Lara is a better technician than Crawford.

            is this what the Alvarez fight will be

            TBud's best impersonation of Erislandy I had his fight with Alvarez a draw

            similar dimensions but Erislandy has the slightly longer reach

              They both have the same reach 74inch. The main difference will be Crawford’s inability to throw a snapping straight left to the head to offset Canelo like Lara did, however Crawford does throw the left to the body more frequently than Lara, but he’s also less elusive than Lara when doing so. Either way, I see Canelo walking him down punishing him to the body and then eventually catch him with a sneaky overhand right to the head to close out the show.

                Erislandy was a good straight shots 1-2-1 boxer

                TBud likes looping strikes

                Mr Saul has a better right hand and power than David Benavidez

                Mr Saul's right sparked 175 pounder Kovalev
