Comments Thread For: Crawford/Verdejo: Top Rank Moves Forward With 2/27 Double

[Baltimore]

Both of these guys on the same night is must watch!

Hope they are matched up with real competition, especially Bud.

Hopefully they don't get matched up with bums.

They probably will. This is Top Rank we're talking about.

Damn, Bleacher Report sent me the notification saying they were fighting each other in Feb. I got happy as hell!

Great Idea

That would be a very good idea. Especially for Crawford going to the biggest market and getting that exposure.

Crawford should face a Top 10 ranked junior welterweight or maybe a unification fight.
Verdejo should face a solid gatekeeper to add to his resume.

PBC/Showtime already announcing fights for next year
Top Rank has a couple of dates already
Next should be Golden Boy. They have yet to announce any card for next year except their first LA Fight Club card

So they decided to put the fight on the same night as Danny Garcia - Robert Guerrero and Marco Huck - Ola Afolabi which will be on free TV? and they wonder why Crawford isn't marketable? it's because you put him up against another big fight when he could have his own night.

Hopefully better than TBA type fighters. We know Crawford wants to fight the best, he would have accepted Pac in a heartbeat. But he needs a big name to make up for a less than stellar 2015.

You must not know much about boxing since Crawford outweighs Verdejo by 14 pounds on the scales.

Hopefully Crawford fights Postol to establish a lineal JWW champion after this tune-up.
