Comments Thread For: Crawford vs. Diaz - Agreement in Place, on HBO, May 20 in Newark

[TheUptownKid]

Diaz is the best comp they could get right now and he is skilled but short. I think Crawford can keep him at distance and box him but he still is semi dangerous because he is accustomed to size disadvantage

Glad that Iman wasn't accepted by HBO. But he is the Mandatory. Crawford is gonna have to fight him next if he doesn't get that unification.

which wont be bad if Imam can pick up a decent win to rightfully deserve the mandatory spot. Styles make fights, Imam has proven he cant handle pressure but Bud isnt a pressure guy. Anyone with Imam's height is an awkward fight and probably an ugly decision win.

If Bud gets Diaz, Imam, and then Unifies with burns/Indongo. Thats fighter of the year stuff...

This should be good. Also nice to see TR working with Dibella, the on going co-operation of these promoter's only is a benefit to the fans and should lead to better fights down the road. 2017 so far is so much better then 2016!

Still 140, huh? Kind of a dead division. Aside from Broner, who else is there at 140 to fight Crawford for really big bucks?

Yea he needs a decent win. They should put him on the undercard with a rematch with Granados.

Good fight, possibly Crawford's toughest opponent to date.

I'll wait for the card to develop to determine whether I'll go this fight or not.

People will hate it but Burns rematch if he wins his unification fight. That's a good money fight, especially if it's at Scotland again. Hearn will try and get a stadium for it and it could be PPV.

That's if Broner can even make 140 anymore. Maybe if Mikey Garcia moved up to 140 that can be (semi)big bucks

This is going to be a great fight for those of us who like technicians.
So far we've been getting at least one high quality fight a month this year. I hope they keep it up

[Hatesrats]

Showcase fight for "Bud". Don't see much of a challenge in this one
