Comments Thread For: Kavaliauskas: Crawford Was Hurt In The Third Round; I Saw It In His Eyes

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Egidijus Kavaliauskas knows Terence Crawford was hurt. The Lithuanian welterweight saw it in the unbeaten WBO champion's eyes once he landed a right hand in the third round of their title fight last December 14 at Madison Square Garden in New York. Crawford contends Kavaliauskas' shot didn't hurt him, but Kavaliauskas isn't surprised Crawford denied that the punch impacted him.

Okay, so he was hurt in round 3, how do you go from that to "he's beatable?" Not the first time Crawford got chin checked! Kavaliauskas should not have been in there!

Kavaliauskas also feels he should’ve been credited for becoming the first opponent to drop Crawford, who went to canvas as he leaned forward and grabbed Kavaliauskas around the waist after absorbing that shot.

As my avatar perfectly displays, yes.

Anyone can be hurt. Bud then went on to beat all resistance out of Egidijus over the next 6 rounds however.

I hurt him yet he beat me by a nasty Ko. this is a combat sport not
chess.

Imagine that....being hurt in a sport where you get punched in the face for a living!!!
I guess there should be an asterisk to the L in your record.... " should have been credited as the first man to drop TC"!!!

Brilliant funny post, a work of art.

Indeed you hurt and dropped Bud and then, what did you do about it!

I am currently not a fan of Crawford, but a close look at that clip shows that a punch was landed, Crawford held, and Kav started throwing punches that all missed, during the sequence, Crawford fell to one knee due to being off balance from all the movement Kav was doing while he was holding him.

It may have very well been the punch alone that dropped Crawford, if you want to give him that very cheap, very technical knock down it still doesn’t change the outcome of the fight.

Crawford still went on to win by TKO in the 9th and handily dropped Kav 3 times. Bottom line is Kav wasn’t even close to winning.

With that said, Crawford shouldn’t be struggling at all with that weak resume of his.

No doubt. **** happens. I've seen Floyd get rocked by Chop Chop Corley who wasn't even a big puncher.
