Indongo's incredibly long arms + Crawford's succeptibility to the right/left hooks.

Crawford may have dominated Diaz, but we have to remember in that fight Diaz did land some flush left hooks on Crawford whether you deny it or not.

Those will be an interesting factor because Indongo's left hook generate so much power when he loads that up, and he loads it up with incredible speed, which he doesn't telegraph it during loading up, he loads it up when the opponent are coming to attack, and does it more as a counter punch rather than a telegraph punch. The punch creates so much power because of the length of Indongo's arm and its speed create so much acceleration at a short period amount of time. Speed x Mass = Force/Power

If Crawford defeats Indongo, mad respect to him. And if Indongo defeats Crawford, I don't want excuses that he has an "Off night because he missed the Pacquiao payday."

If Crawford defeats Indongo, in my opinion he had defeated a Prime A-level african/american style boxing that is bigger and stronger than him.

Could be a pretty decent fight...

Good thread.

Think I'm gonna a have to re-watch tape of Crawford's rangy-est opponents. I know Postol is pretty tall for 140 but I don't think he threw very many wide hooks doe.

Indongo easy to land hooks against bums

Trayanovksi and Burns are not bums. I could argue paper champions but far from bums.

Tall boxers with long reach favour straights over circular/hooking punches. They throw tap lead hooks with no power to set up something. Ex: Klitschko, Lewis, Hearns. You may not find much :B

That's why I'm on the indongo train. Because he is so unorthodox, and the way he favors hooks over straight punches would be pretty interesting considering he is the rangiest fighter Crawford would fight so far. Crawford has a fighter that matches his speed and possibly his skill.

LMAO. That's not why you are on the Indongo train.

Indongos only chance is picking up volume & pressure but even then I think Bud will be too fast. Because Indongo does have a good 3, I think we will see Bud in the orthodox stance moreso. I think Indongos height and reach will make for an ugly fight mixed with Buds style. I have Bud winning a UD with weird scorecards being read.

If you knew anything about physics you would know speed and acceleration aren't the same thing. Hell speed and velocity aren't even the same thing. However, I get your point.
Indongo will definitely be a difficult puzzle for Crawford to solve. The thing about fighters like Crawford is that it takes a couple or rounds to figure a fighter out and before he does, he's susceptible to being tagged. What works for him is he never gets hit by more than one punch. He can take it, analyze, and then dominate.
