Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford-Julius Indongo: Risk All Around

[Dr.Cool]

Indongo is a tomato can. He is not a world class boxer, he landed one lucky punch and beat Ricky "the Bum" Burns. That's it. Apparently that one punch landed him two belts though. How the heck did Crawford get this lucky?

Still, if Crawford wants to be a real star and fight for a legacy he is going to need to step up the competition at some point. Postol and Diaz were solid opponents, but Garcia with his domination of AB stepped up and impressed. While Lomachenko is avoiding Rigo and Garcia, Crawford is avoiding AB, Garcia, and any top WW. But then again, I guess that's why he is nothing more than an espn fighter now.

I don't think he's avoiding anyone . Especially not AB and can't crawford be undisputed before moving up to WW? You realize Indongo got the IBF belt from Troyanovski by knocking him or and then unified after easily after outpointing Burns... What's wrong with seeing Crawford on ESPN instead of paying that HBO subscription or paying ppv on top of that hbo subscription to see him fight. Free boxing is legit especially seeing p4p guy. Come on yo

dan Rafael says the purse report is 1.6 mil for crawford but he's getting over 2 million and Indongo shows 100k but his package is 1million

Nice, good for them especially Indongo going from total unknown to a 7 figure purse.

This could turn out to be the best fight we've seen in a while. I am expecting Crawford to show why he is one of the best in the world by putting on a dominant performance.

Anything with Crawford is the best fight with you. Indongo is a B level fighter who has got lucky. Nothing else.

[Sheldon312]

I'm rooting for Crawford in this, but Indongo is a beast and a machine. Don't be surprised if Indongo doesn't pull off a huge upset (to us American fans). This will be a very memorable fight ...

And the idea that if a great fighter loses a fight he somehow diminishes is ridiculous, and something the money-grabbers of the sport keep pushing. Ali lost to Frazier, and it made every fight after that larger. Lennox Lewis lost, and the same. Even Joe Louis lost, and it added to his greatness long term. Anyone can lose a fight ... the true champion will show up after the loss.

Indongo is not great. He is B-level at best. Stop overrating every opponent Crawford has faced.

Especially after that shellacking. I wonder how much Eddie hearns took from that purse

Right, Hearn had an option (of many) on Indongo after his Burns win.

Then a looping left hook from Indongo knocks him out Troyanovski style.

You don't know **** about boxing. You can't throw a left hook out of a left handed stance.

I don't know what you mean? I thought this would be a great fight, it turned out to be a blowout.
