Comments Thread For: Photos: Crawford-Beltran, Gradovich-Velez Weighin

I'm hoping Jayson Velez beats Evgeny Gradovich. Boxing just ain't the same without a strong presence of Puerto Ricans. Been rooting for Jayson Velez, Jose Pedraza, and Felix Verdejo to do well so we can get a new era of the Mexico vs. Puerto Rico rivalry started.

This is a pretty solid card by TR and HBO, I think Beltran going to test Crawford tomorrow night.
Beltran has had a couple of bad decisions, I thought he got robbed against Rocky. I think Crawford wins by a tough decision in his home town.

Right now its Velez is time shine, we are going to find out, if he can swim with the sharks in the 126 division. Gradovich is one tough fighter, can't wait to see this card.

but he has a much better chin than gamboa

I agree... beltran is a much more durable fighter then gamboa.

Beltran is a decent basic fighter but he's just too ordinary for Crawford. Crawford won't have to do much to pick Beltran off as his head is so stationary. Wouldn't be surprised at a counter KO.

I haven't really watched a Gradovich fight since his easily beat Dib the first time. Another decent basic fighter and highlights the possible issues of being trained by Robert Garcia - garbage defense. If Velez has good timing and accuracy to go with some pop, he could pull it off but I don't really know anything about him.

Good under the radar card: Crawford building his name and a scrappy undercard.
