Comments Thread For: Crawford Drops Kavaliauskas Three Times, Stops Him in Nine

[Realizniguhnit]

No he doesn’t. Crawford at this point has fought more as a southpaw. He’s a better fighter as a southpaw. Even in his amateur days he was awkward in the orthodox stance.

People need to stop lying to themselves, Kavaliauskas had some success simply because that happens in boxing. You can’t guess everything the other guy is gonna do especially before you’ve become accustomed to the way he thinks. Crawford only turned orthodox after hurting Kava to drop him in the 7th (or whenever it was), came in orthodox the next rd and did exactly nothing but miss, look awkward and unable to get off before turning southpaw in the end of the rd and doing more damage than he did the entire rd, and ofcourse finished the fight as southpaw.

So I don’t know where you’re plucking the idea that the fight was over once he turned orthodox. The fight was over when he started to press Kavaliauskas and expose his miniature gas tank.

BTW here is the highlights from the fight. TC was in an Orthodox stance when he hurt and dropped EK the 1st time. Then finished him off back in SP. So like I said don't know what you were watching..

That's false. Crawford switches to SP in fights but fights mostly in an Orthodox stance. The man just said himself he wanted to come out in the Orthodox stance but his coach told him to start out in SP.

There's a difference between switching to SP for a minute and staying in the SP stance too long which Crawford and Floyd have done and paid for it as I've mentioned previously.

Bro Crawford spends most of his time in the southpaw stance. Against Gamboa he fought the first three rounds in Orthodox, got the breaks beat out of him, and switched to southpaw for the rest of the fight.

Against Horn and Benevides he fought almost the entire fight in southpaw stance. Again against mean machine he fought southpaw stance the majority of the fight.

He’s spent at least the last 6 years fighting mainly southpaw. The first fight I saw of Crawford was Prescott, and he spent most of the fight southpaw then too. He’s much better as a southpaw than he is an orthodox fighter at this point.

I get that your motive is to contradict me, but your failing and just repeating what I’ve said. You could maybe also note how many times he converts when he’s trying to finish Kavaliauskas off in that 7th rd.

You trying to dispute what the man said out of his own mouth. He wanted to come out fighting in an Orthodox stance from the start and only started SP because his coach told him to.

Crawford is what you call a switch hitter. He primarily fights orthodox, that's the facts. He is right handed but he prefers his lead hand 1st which is why he is comfortable fighting in both stances. For elite opponents in the future I highly doubt you will see him switch to SP for a significant amount of time as he did with EK. He's not a better fighter in SP because If he was he himself wouldn't have wanted to come out in the orthodox stance, that should be common sense.

Crawford got caught because he began to press too soon from the SP stance he was in after hearing the boo's from the crowd mainly due to EK's waiting and inactivity. Even Ward pointed out that he thought TC was pressing a little too soon.

You are about the only person here attempting to dispute the fact that once he switched back to orthodox the fight was over. Most people that observed the fight including the commentators all pointed it out live during the fight. IDK WTF were you watching but you seem to have just about everything backwards..

You’re believing in a myth, a fairytale. Where are these great performances you got of Crawford orthodox? All of his best performances were southpaw. Crawford usually comes out orthodox and so? It doesn’t take long after before he turns southpaw for the majority of the fight.

He stopped Thomas Dulorme in his first fight at 140 fighting completely orthodox.

You should do us all a favour and just add up all the times he’s been ortho vs south. I wouldn’t mind to be wrong. An arduous task I know, but I believe in you.

Naw, its not that serious. Crawford is better as a southpaw everyone knows that. His best punch is the right hook to the head or body. He has been hit by the straight right hand fighting both southpaw and orthodox because he likes to pull back.

You don't know wth your talking about man LOL.. Knocks Gamboa down right after switching back to Orthodox at 3:08..Proceeds to beat the breaks off of Gamboa in the Orthodox stance..Get's hurt stepping in and switches to SP temporarily, Switches back Ortho and knocks Gamboa down again at 5:33.. basically the end of the fight.

If you watch the video it's obvious that your contradicting your own statements dude. I just told you TC is what you call a switch hitter but this whole notion that he fights mainly as a SP or fights better as a SP is just blatantly false.
