Crawford needs a good undercard fighter...

[BoxingFan85]

Crawford by KO/TKO.. Diaz would be effective early in the fight until he keeps tasting leather & eventually gets floored/gets stopped..

[Larry the boss]

Crawford by ko

[Hatesrats]

Diaz is gonna take a career pausing defeat by "Bud". I feel bad for him already.

[Lester Tutor]

This is going to be a great bout. Diaz ain't no push over at 140. I think he has decent pop to gain Bud's respect. He ain't no Lundy and Hank was able to land some sneaky shots in. I got it a Draw. Diaz is need to trap Bud at the ropes, if he can. Bud got great movement

Mein neger herr Crawford!!!!!!

[GhostofDempsey]

Crawford by stoppage somewhere between rounds 7-9.

I remember the Peterson/Diaz fight very well. Because what came mind during that fight was that Diaz is a good workman like fighter, but he only has ONE gear.

If you go on who was busier, Diaz probably won the fight. But he never seemed to be able to crank it up to that next gear. If you're fighting someone backed by a powerful promoter AND on their home turf, you have only two options: knock 'em out, or beat the hell out of 'em for the duration of the fight.

Diaz seemed perfectly satisfied to just put in a workman performance and beat Peterson on a Washington DC scorecard...this is boxing...unregulated ...you have to put this guy on the seat of his pants. He just lacked that killer instinct.

That being said, it's going to be Crawford's toughest fight in a while. But I don't think Diaz has what it takes to put a hurtin' on him and win.
