Agree....24 RDS of glorified sparring. Easy to fight the way they did when u have no fear of ur opponents power. No drama or intrigue... same Rd played over and over.

I really thought EVERY one knew this was a pointless retread of something that didn't need repeated. Surely no one but LSC fans would catch this over Crawford. I wasn't worried at all. Then fight week I was curious as to the hype.The RBR commenting was ridiculous. I thought I had missed a WAR. Was very disappointed on watching it. My feeling was this was a safe money maker stay busy for both. LSC realistically only should have been looking at unification or the Frampton trilogy. Notice it happened as soon as 'Mares talked about Frampton/Windsor. ALl people see are the money signs.
