Bud needs to stop fighting cans

[Boxfan83]

He cleaned out 135, cleaned out (and won all titles) at 140 and just debuted at 147 with a title win (the other guys are PBC league) and has done this in such a dominant manner. I get it his “resume” or the names of the opponent aren’t A grade but they accomplishments and accolades are and it’s clear he’s special. He’s beating these guys way worse than anyone else and many are unbeaten.

I can’t wait until he fights Spence and then see what the excuse is. Boxing fans tend to want to hate and discredit too much. If the guy is a likeable and humble dude and he’s good just enjoy him. Believe me it’s better than being a hater.

I completely agree with the bolded.

this bud aint for me

Wow a guy cleans out a division
Moves up and becomes undisputed in another beating all the champions there
Moves up again and captures a title In his first fight there and y'all complaining?


This thread is glaringly different then lomas last win.......

Lomas doing it vs much better opposition. Rigo was top 5 P4P now all of sudden hes a shot old grandpa

Totally agree, the only negative would be him being promoted by Top rank. Getting fights with other fighters from a different promoter etc I hope that wouldn’t be the case doe.

I'm not sure who Arum has at 147 anymore but I could see a fight against jessie Vargas happening next. I don't think anyone else is in a hurry to fight him.

Don't worry Crawford is the real thing. Fighting Horn was smart. He got paid well and raised his profile at the same time.

Oh, I agree that it was good business sense. I'm just saying that generally speaking, I am not impressed with who he has beaten. I know he has beaten everyone put in front of him. There are times though when I haven't been impressed with him during fights and then he'll turn it on and knock the guy out. I'll put it another way, which, most will probably disagree with. I don't think he's great fighting going backwards. I prefer it when he is commanding his offense and he looks better that way to me. When he is wheeling out defensively, I see flaws when he's in that mode. I just don't think he is great at fighting going backwards.

The thing I found most impressive was how quickly he found openings and landed punches. Often he would land a combo and when it looked like he was finished he would see a crack and land another punch. Very impressive.

As an example, I don't think he looked great against Dulorme but he was able to get the KO. Obviously that was a few years ago now but it was an underwhelming performance from him.

Yeah I've seen some of his other fights but against Horn he was very sharp. I know the opponent has s lot to do with it but his reflexes were amazing. I really enjoyed that fight.

Was it much better? Rigo jumped up weight and hadn't fought more than three rds in like 3 yrs or something. By the way gamboa and diaz we're gold medalist I believe

If you watch it again notice Crawford fought the whole fight orthodox. Dulorme should be embarrassed he wasn't even good enough to force Crawford to switch to his better stance and still got stopped.
