Social media: "Crawford is ducking Horn!"

Crawford is thinking twice about horn so he pulled out with a fake injury so he could hop on some clenbuterol for a couple of months before the fight.

I don't think there's an injury but I don't think he's ducking. Promoters orders. The fight was su****iously unannounced yet very close to the date.

Horn should be happy. His 15 mins can last a little longer.

Having said that any "injury" will be called a duck by Boxing fans. Too many fans are more interesting with who's ducking who than who's fighting who these days. Boxing fans are probably the dumbest of all sports fans.

This is about the ESPN+ streaming service which is going to cost like $5 per month. They want to wait until its set up and operating. I think this is more of the network orders than promoter orders.

It can't go unsaid that yes, Thurman got MAJOR heat when he pulled out, yet Crawford is getting a pass for doing the same thing, regardless of why. If it's really a promoter thing, simply say "Promoter's cancelling/delaying the fight for now". Don't throw out injury if you're not injured. That's on Crawford.

there was no promotion, no venue and not even any tickets on sale... arum is focused on Loma, and wasn't promoting a fight that was supposed to be a month away, this was faked in order to have time to promote the fight smh

There is no way should Horn be fighting Crawford in the US, Horn is the bigger name in all of this because lets be honest for a second Crawford can't sell for **** Mr.50K weak ass PPV numbers

It is because Crawford is supposed to be this media darling, Keith Thurman is getting stick because he is already established as the best fighter at 147 it comes with the territory of being a great champion.
Regardless there is no way does Crawford deserve a world title fight this early on at 147, he is just gonna hold that belt hostage and fight ****ty top rank fighters and pad his bum ass record some more.

NSB seems to believe that it isn't ducking.
