Crawford to face Algeri in April

[R_Walken]

Its a good fight for Chris since that's the level he belongs... Now if Crawford wins, it'll show that he is a level above.

I disagree I think Crawfords a level above Algieri and if the fight gets made its a bad move by Chris's team. He just finished get lit up by PAC and I think Crawford will light him up again. Then what's he got going for him, nothing back to ESPN level fighting in front of his hometown.

I think if this fight gets made it'll be made for Terence to look good in similar to when PAC fought him.

It's BS that he got his belt stripped in the first place so if he wants to get it back then cool but I don't think it'll end well.

Seriously buddy should sign with Haymon.

BS fight. It's a shame that such a great talent like Crawford is signed to that rotten house called top rank.

No. Chris Algieri is in no way an elite fighter. He is a C+ fighter at best.

Neither is Crawford. Dude is barely coming up as a solid fighter and getting in the ring against a guy like Algieri in his first fight as a LWW is a good fight. It'll be interesting to see how Crawford handles someone who is taller, has a slightly longer reach, and also likes to box.

And Top Rank is doing a great job of matching him up with solid competition.

algieri just got shown the hard way the gap between good and great. probably not gonna be easy to bounce back from that after being on cloud 9 surviving prov. especially not against crawford with momentum and has been winning.

ill root algieri but id bet crawford.

Battle of the Master Boxers? Watch a movie on the side and wait for a punch to land.

I actually like this fight. Algeri deserves a meaningful fight at 140. He shouldn't have been in there with Pacquiao in the 1st place. It's a great test for Crawfords 1st fight at 140. I think Crawford wins quite comfortably to be honest. Then on to the next one!

He needs someone who wasn't on the receiving end of some of the most lopsided scorecards in the last twenty years. Seriously, Algieri was an embarrassment in his last fight and now he gets a second main event fight against a rising star. Disgusting.

it was his belt after all

[RSBonos]

Disgusting.

It's a good fight. Crawford would get beat up by Pac also and he won't be that big of a favorite if this happens.

True, T. Crawford is a talented fighter but he will be fighting in jr.ww now.
No matter how good he was in lowerweights , it will be different if he go up in weights. His speed, power, punch resistance etc. will diminish a bit there,

I'll bet on Algieri pulling the upset. Crawford has never seen the size, nor footwork.

[mathed]

That'd be a good scrap. Two point scorers and essentially runners belong in the ring together.

I agree, their styles mesh up really well. The fight would be a true chess match.
