Comments Thread For: Crawford Leaves Weight Decision in Hands of Managers

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBO lightweight champion Terence Crawford (24-0, 17KOs) is potentially going to stick around at 135-pounds. On Saturday night he had the biggest win of his pro career, a ninth round knockout of Olympic gold medal winner Yuriorkis Gamboa (23-1, 16KOs) before a crowd of nearly 11,000 fans at the CenturyLink Center in Omaha.

Before the fight, Crawford said Gamboa was going to be his final match at lightweight. Now he's going to leave that decision in the hands of his co-managers, who are likely going to review his best options to make money at 135 and 140.

Move back up to 140 Crawford, draining down to 135 is bad for your health. Don't leave it in hands of your managers, do it for yourself.

140 is an ideal weight for him, eventually move to 147 to round out his career...

Better fights please. So many big fights, getting real disapointed with boxing this year. Garcia with his crappy opponents, and he lost. Mickey garcia with one fight. Pac man doesnt have good opponents. Broner sucks. No one wants to fight keith thurman. No GGG vs chavez. Ward fighting nobody. What is there too look foward.

Crawford retires Alvarado and Rios. Algieri, Provodnikov, and Bradley can give him problems. Hopefully he fights Mikey Garcia before moving up.

Unless its for a unification between him and Vazquez at 135 then they might as well move up.

[richardt]

He really needs to look hard at the situation and ask himself this because there might be a fine line with the typical difficulty of making weight and struggling to make weight. It should be HIS decision.

140 and fight Danny Garcia

Stay and fight mikey. If he moves up I don't think he has the power to rock any if the guys at 140. He can box though. He'll be boring at 140. Unless he gets memo, bulk up and gain power

Move to 140. Tons of great fights there
