Coppinger: Crawford is fighting Egidijus Kavaliauskas this fall

[famicommander]

This dude lost to Robinson, don't care what the scorecards said.

Crawford is going to ice him quickly.

Hopefully Bud gets a decent fight after this one while he waits for the dust to settle between Thurman/Pacquiao and Spence/Porter.

I was OK with this fight until Kavaliauskas drew with Robinson and lost the fight on one scorecard. I was hoping they would feed him a W before having him fight Crawford.

Either way, Crawford will be a great experience. Going up against a switch hitter teaches you more. Plus, Crawford isn't the kinda guy to ruin you, so I think it'll be a good bump for both men. It's not good to be a predictor, but I think once Bud realizes he has the respect after a couple counters, and frustrates Kava to a certain point, I think there will be a silent agreement that allows Bud to coast to the cards with it. Bud is the type to elect to go and get the experience, provided he is swimming without getting too wet. Taking a look at Kava, man, he can punch for a smaller fella. But it's the extra confidence from being able to throw and land fast power punches from both stances that makes me favor Bud, he slips into those angles fast and delivers. confidence in the power punches in both stances is what I have historically seen to be successful in boxing.
I ultimately want Crawford to get past him and then go up against Porter, because I think that'd be a great fight strategically.

He lost to Ray Robinson...ZERO chance vs Crawford not even a Puncher Chance!

who the f^ck is orejfkswbof osimfkavinsklfhejwod?? Crawford should be fined a million dollars pushed to the bottom of the ratings and not be eligible for a championship fight for 8 years. his manager and promotor should be jailed for fraud and all their assets seized
