Crawford opponent for 02/27?

[mathed]

Jose Ramirez possibly?




Jose Ramirez - Boxrec

Jose Ramirez - Top Rank Profile

[Holystroke3]

He doesn't have the name or profile to benefit Bud, and a beating from Bud wouldn't benefit Ramirez, I don't think Top Rank would want that fight

Who can Arum get within TR that would provide a decent name in such short notice? They could go with another agency I guess, someone not with Hymen.

It's going to be Hank Lundy. I think that's such a mismatch, TR is in desperation mode for finding opponents for Crawford & Lomachenko.

Filed story to @USATODAYsports with details on Crawford-Lundy. Will post the link when it's up.

Sadly Lundy

- Jason Pagara team are saying they not ready
- Herrera could be fighting Ruslan
- Maurice Hooker is a PBC fighter
- Julius Indongo don't have a visa
- Jose Benavidez is over weight

Hooker's with Roc Nation. Signed with them maybe a month ago. I don't think he's ever fought on a PBC card.

And ugh, Lundy. Crawford has just been chugging along in whatever fights since the Gamboa bout in my eyes.

[The Gambler1981]

If Lundy had the pop to match his fierce gaze then he would be a pretty good fighter. Shame he can't really punch though, and Crawford will beat him bad.

What sucks for Top Rank guys is that they are limited by the big political divide but also by other divides on that side of the street (like hard to see Arum working with Roc Nation).

[Hougigo]

Lundy? Is this some kind of joke? You got a fighter that has already won the BWAA Fighter of the Year award and he's being fed Lundy. His team is failing him.

Just a name I saw pop up, but i'm meh with it.

[SkillspayBills]

Someone that isn't that good smh. Hopefully they are just setting him up for Postol later in the year. That is the bout to be made.

[daggum]

crawford needs to leave top rank. they did this to floyd as well. they tried to make him fight bums like margarito but he was like NO! i want the big fish! give me sharmba, give me judah coming off a loss, give me baldomir the great journeyman

roc nation has no fighters that are relevant so who cares?
