Comments Thread For: Crawford Breaks Down, Drops, Knocks Out Benavidez in Twelfth

[baroidi]

Benevidez was literally fighting with one good knee, guy couldn't even move after the 6th. Yeah Crawford looked good but still waiting for that definitive victory for him to be P4P#1 that ESPN is shoving down our throats.

That was a seriously good, old-school type of fight. I do agree that they would do well to at least try to put some marketing power behind this guy.

Maybe it's because real boxing doesn't sell anymore. Just pre-fight drama.

Great point. Very unfortunate, but very true.

Bud outboxed him....frustrated him... and stopped him in the last round lol...what more can you do to your opponent?!? Lmao

Everyone mad that bud didn’t do all that in only 3 rounds

[Just looking]

How so?....

In the first half Benavidez was winning most, if not all the exchanges. Crawford had trouble dealing with the reach of Benavidez who wasn't moving much early

No you didn’t. If that wasn’t a planned finish I don’t know what is.

It didn't seem planned to me. Benavidez wanted to **** it out in that round after posturing all fight. If he had tried to **** with Bud earlier, the fight would have ended earlier.

Did this fight change anyone's opinion on the potential Spence-Crawford fight?

nope spence beats him

[megas30]

Benavidez was game. His size was a challenge for Crawford until he got figured out. The fight change when Crawford didn't respect his power. Also, his showboating was ******, because he wasn't quick enough to make it effective.

I too want to see Crawford vs Crawford lol

He’s that good lol....but I give Crawford the edge right now over Spence. I’m not too sold on Spence defense

[Zodogg]

Whipped his ass BOTTOM LINE anybody on the feed that don't give bud his props is a ****ing hater

[Eff Pandas]

Another case of all bark and no bite...

In fairness this mfer been that. I was a big fan of him as an amateur & am a fan of him now, but he's been halfassing it & under performing for years. He ain't really turned up as tip top world class guy.

I bet he was more syked for this fight then any fight he's been in hence giving Bud some light competition early.
