Boxnation really showing T-Craw vs that boring as **** Puerto Rican who is too scared to engage? Err about to puke my Southern Comfort back up

Hey bro.
Curious of your pick?
Lucas on points or t/ko

I'm so nervous. Lucas can't really afford to lose this fight.

lol

not true at all dude. oscar just signed him to a 5 year extension, that's an investment that will probably pay off because of his style

ruslan is in the same boat, you dont lose any stock in 50/50 fights imo

I like the stoppage purely based on how easy Ruslan is to hit and how much he swells/marks up but a decision wouldn't surprise me as I feel Lucas will box more. Tough one but I see Lucas getting his hand raised.
I can see Lucas outboxing him, outboxing and breaking him down, beating him in a shoot out. Ruslan has pop I just can't see him winning though.

Too many dimensions to lose to a limited puncher. He is strong, hits hard just basic as ****. No jab, has to set himself. He is an ESPN level fighter in truth.

i hope people realize both these guys are taking a huge risk fighting each other, for probably not their biggest payday (i'm sure lucas got more for the danny fight, ruslan probably got more vs bradley)

if you're a real boxing fan, you should root for both guys to have a long career after tonight

I don't know, a loss here would make it so easy to bury Lucas, and Golden Boy doesn't have many options for him. You really think Top Rank is going to throw Lucas in the ring with their guys if they can make excuses not to? It's too risky, a loss here puts him back where he was after the Alexander robbery.

Don't be nervous, have faith in your guy. Lucas has this!

[Beercules]

I'm getting excited now, rooting for Lucas and I'm sort of nervous.
