Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford Didn't Know Who Julius Indongo Was a Year Ago

Nobody knew him, the 140lb division is utter trash. Whoever has Crawford top p4p is just desperate.

Because like he said he won two titles so he earned it. Really very simple.

Like many people in boxing, Terence Crawford didn't know Julius Indongo existed this time a year ago. Crawford already owned the WBC and WBO super lightweight titles, was a two-division champion and was considered one of the best boxers in the world. Indongo was an anonymous Namibian, unbeaten but unknown outside of his small home country in western Africa.

... because he only fought in Windhoek, Namibia...

Perfect opponent for a TR fighter. No one has ever heard of, but he has a title from one lucky punch, and is an easy win for Crawford. And Arum can say its not cherry picking tomato cans because this guy got a title. But yea, beating a Russian no one has ever heard of, doesn't make anyone known or dangerous. Indongo's a bum. If Crawford doesn't take him out in 8 rounds or less, it is basically a loss, and should drop him below Spence and Garcia on p4p lists. Sorry, Crawford has only beat Postol. Gamboa never did anything after his ped dealer got popped and Ricky Burns is crap. Spence beating Brook is far more impressive and Garcia over Broner is a better win than Postol.

The only two fighters at 140 besides Crawford is Mikey Garcia and Regis Prograis- but Prograis prob. needs one or two more fights against true B level opponents. Until Crawford takes a chance, takes a fight with an AB or Garcia or at 147 against Thurman, Spence, Pac, Danny Garcia, etc. until Crawford takes a fight with a live opponent no one knows how good he really is. Good enough to beat Ricky Burns and Postol is all we know now. But he's with TR so its cool.

The Dong is too strong.

So what if nobody but hard core fans knew about Indongo. But that's the beauty of boxing right?? Some champion wins a belt and fights a unknown guy as a stay busy cherry pick. Then bam!! the unknown puts the boxing world on notice by beating the champion... That's a good thing it brings drama to the sport and gives us fans something to talk about.

This man is going from unknown to fighting 3 str8 title fights for undisputed. In 8 months. I love crawfords skill but I wouldn't be mad if Indongo won that's a hell of a Cinderella story
