ESPN first take showing no respect to Crawford

[Mike D]

if i remember quite a few on here thought walters would knock lomachenko out because of what he did to donaire. he was considered a legitimate world class proven fighter but know hes talked about like some bum

Oh I remember. It's funny how the narratives evolve seemingly overnight here, lol. Before the fight all the anti-Loma people were saying Loma was gonna sparked the f**k out, and then Nicholas quits on the stool and immediately post fight the narrative went to Walters was inactive too long and had no chance and shouldn't even count on Loma's ledger as a legitimate victory

Promotion been better for Crawford this time around leading up to his fight on Saturday

The 180's on Loma foes on here is crazy.

Most boxing fans are just miserable and the the most hateful in sports. They'll say anybody can beat a guy they hate and then it doesn't happen it's never because they are wrong or because the guy's good it's just "reasons".

In short, yeah, I think they would ask Loma questions about Khabib-McGregor as well. I wouldn't be surprised if they asked everyone, especially folks who don't have high profile fights.

Max outta all of those idiots on first take should know the business enough not to ask a ****** question about a fighter that doesn't even fight (Spence) let alone "Across the street"

[187 Proof]

Yes. Rigondeaux/Linares/Russell are all better scalps than anyone Terence has on his scalp list. Hell you could argue that f**king Walters is as good or better of a scalp than what Terence has on the resume.

Terence is a terrific fighter, clearly, but Postol? Who got beat by a 13 fight fighter in his last fight? Indongo? Who got sparked out by Prograis faster than he did by Crawford?

And nobody better even with Gamboa, lol. Gamboa got f**king stopped by a 12 loss fighter for f**k's sake.

Like I said I think Terence is an outstanding fighter. I love watching him fight. He's a dangerous, dangerous man. But his resume really f**king GGG-esque (and I'm talking the GGG resume before he fought Jacobs and Canelo twice).

For a P4P guy his resume is really, really uninspiring.

You act like Linares didn't get stopped by Juan Carlos Salgado, Antonio DeMarco and Sergio Thompson in a few rounds, .

And Gary Russell Jr. was known by the wannabe Eastern Euro crowd as "T.B.A. Killer," but as soon as Lomachenko beat him he became the second coming of Salvador Sanchez. Russell Jr. hasn't done much since losing to Lomachenko either. Y'all just like to elevate him like David Lemieux because Golovkin beat him.

And Rigondeaux, . An ancient little dude moving up two divisions, okay.

What is BBCd?

Big black....you know

Six questions asked to @budcrawford402 during First Take. Three were about #KHABIBvsMcGregor, one was Screamin' A ****ting on this weekend's matchup. Please tell me again how ESPN promotes Bud and Lomachenko the same. #CrawfordBenavidez

I’m no Loma fan but atleast he’s never gotten racist.

Crawford’s true colors have been coming out lately.

Linares was bordering (and firmly in some of them) P4P lists when him & Lomachenko fought. Rigondeaux, yeah go ahead and call him old and ancient yet that old and ancient motherf**ker was in motherf**king TOP FIVE lists going into that fight. When has Bud ever even fought a fringe P4Per?
