Comments Thread For: Kavaliauskas: Crawford Has No Other Choices At Welterweight, I'm The Guy He Needs To Face

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The one thing that hurt more to Egidijus Kavaliauskas than watching a golden opportunity slip away on the title stage was having to sit on that pain for the past nine months. With an eagerly awaited return to the ring came the first win in nearly two years for Kavaliauskas, who stopped Quebec's Mikael Zewski in the 8th round of their ESPN+ main event Saturday evening at The Bubble in Las Vegas. Kavaliauskas scored knockdowns at the end of round seven and just after the opening bell to start round eight, with the stoppage win coming immediately thereafter.

A 37 year old overweight Lennox Lewis, who stopped him. Chased a retired Lewis for years afterward.

I beg to differ, but it seems like they're already selling the rematch...

[ShoulderRoll]

What?

Crawford has other choices. Such as his mandatory, Shawn Porter.

Kavaliauskas probably pushed Crawford harder than any of his other opponents but I'm still not exactly desperate to watch a rematch, not while there's other opposition out there for Crawford to fight. The thing about Bud is that even when the opponent challenges him and gets the better of him in some aspect, he's quick to adapt and turn the tables. I'm sure if Crawford were to rematch Kavaliauskas he'd just win in even more compelling fashion now that he knows what he's capable of and what strategies he's likely to use.

There's a big difference between being broken down and stopped when you're down on all three judges' scorecards by a wide margin, to being stopped on a cut when you're ahead on all three judges' scorecards. But each to their own I suppose
