    i think it's a good fight.
    terence had never fought someone as big and quicker than him with a punch.
    just hope khan's chin would hold up to make a good exciting fight.

      If Khans chin holds up, he UD's Crawford.

      Khan is going to get robbed if he stays up. Bob Arum is putting the pieces together right now to make sure everyone is in line with the game plan.

      Calling it now.

        Timing (and speed) beats speed. Combinations and well timed and thought out shots defeat flurries of punches. Then you've got a perennial winner vs. whatever Khan is, not to mention the chins and difference in skills.

        Khan is about the best opponent they could have secured for April and it will be a fun fight to watch because Khan comes to win but Crawford will be dishing out a beating.

          Khan looks good 4-5 rounds then Crawford starts to time and clips him and stops him by the 8th

          After the fight "Khan Was Winning Before He Got..." we know how this will end

            think crawford will get him out of there early, crawford is on the crest of a wave right now, can't see how khan won't fold?

              If Khan comes in focused and mentally strong, as well as obviously in the best shape of his life, he has a great chance.

              I think honestly, Crawford might squeak out a win, only because I feel Khan isn't game, mentally.

              Who knows, Crawford looked very average against Benavidez who had a bum leg, and it showed in the later rounds especially.

                Ya gotta give Khan credit.
                OTOH he's gonna get starched one time too many.
                Should call it a day.

                  Gamboa, though smaller, had some success with his speed against Crawford, till Bud adjust and timed him coming in. If the corner doesn't stop it when it starts getting ugly, this could be retirement for Khan.

                    Dunno man, Benavidez was pretty game, and the bigger man. The KO was coming, and Crawford was way ahead on the cards, what else do you want? Probably should have got Benavidez out of there quicker... but Khan, like you say, is not game, and does not have a height advantage
