Comments Thread For: Crawford-Indongo Offers a Rare and Intriguing Unification Treat

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Most boxing pundits will agree that Terence Crawford (31-0, 22 KOs) is a class or two above everyone else in the 140-pound division. But Julius Indongo (22-0, 11 KOs) possesses a style so difficult it would give anyone nightmares, Crawford included. If anyone has the best chance of pulling off an upset against the Nebraskan in Omaha, it would be the little known and enigmatic African.

The day is finally here for this dandy of a fight.....

I'm hoping Julius Indongo has it in him to make this a great contest. Terence Crawford is legit one of the best pound for pound.

The boxing world is in for a big shock. Indongo isnt just gonna beat Crawford, he's gonna knock his ass out.

[TheReadyTimeBoy]

On second thought, I actually watched Indongo 2 seconds ago and he's pretty wild and reaches in with his shots. Crawford will make him pay for that.

Remember Michael Nunn vs James Toney?

But I'm not sure Indongo can be a Toney...

There should be a correction to this article: Kostya Tszyu consolidated all the major belts in 2001...except for the WBO.

The winner tonight will consolidate EVERY major belt in the weight class INCLUDING the WBO. And he will be only the third person to ever accomplish this feat, the other two being Bernard Hopkins and Jermain Taylor.

Well Tszyu unified all of the major belts, as the WBO belt wasn't recognised as a major one in 2001.

Nor was it in 2005, hence the last Undisputed Champion was O'Neil Bell in 2006.

Now that it is a recognised Major belt (any time after 2007 where the other 3 ABC's recognised it as a legitimate world title, along with the IBHOF), fighters will need all 4, which is almost impossible

In any case the winner tonight will have all four belts which makes it a rare, historical accomplishment. The only 140 pounder to ever do it.
