Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford Powers Past Hank Lundy in Five Rounds

[QUOTE=hitking;16501715]I think most people root based on race, whether they like to admit it or not. My issue is the hypocrisy. Why hide behind the "they're boring" label when the real issue is that they're black?

You really think that? I think most root on nationality (if that fighter is a champion). I'm white and all my favorite fighters have been black.

crawford was huge. easily could step up to ww.

you cant gauge his skills from this fight, he looks like he was fighting a lw. not ready even for a past prime pac.

I see him doing a lot of slick things, not just showy slick but how he switches up, baits a fighter in, adjusts quickly, and finds the right range.

Exactly. He loses some early rounds and then after he figures you out, its lights out. Now I'm just wondering if they come into a fight with a poor gameplan and not study enough film. He's going to have to come with a solid game plan when he starts fighting better opposition. He don't want to lose 4 Or 5 rounds in the first half of a fight against the upper echelon.

I agree. If he starts fast, the sky is the limit.

Crawford would do well vs Marquez don't know if he'll win but he'll do well. He'll get blown away vs pacquiao cause of the styles. PAC too strong and fast for him. Crawford has nothing to hold him back with. I think u like watching fights but don't really know what goes on during the fight u just like to c punches thrown.

Pac got KO'd by Marquez and couldn't KO Rios yet Tim Bradley did. You could argue that Rios was out of shape and unprepared but I still don't think Pacquiao's strength is what it used to be. I think Crawford would have a good chance of beating Pacquiao. He's tall, has a good jab, switches incredibly well, can **** and has a high boxing IQ. I think if Pacquiao fought Crawford, his best chance would be to to apply pressure early and induce a knockout because if he gives Crawford a few rounds I think Crawford will get Manny's timing down and outbox him.
