The Crawford fight ain't getting much attention. But Lundy can fight and can be entertaining so we might get a decent fight.
Crawford should win comfortably though.
This should be another showcase for Verdejo.
Lundy is a decent fighter but isn't at all in the same class as Crawford. I really hope that Crawford can fight postol after they each win their tune up fights.
I'd like to see that fight too but I saw Crawford was already saying that Postal is an unknown. Broner is probably the money fight at the weight. Could that fight be made?Quote:

Hammerin Hank shows up to fight and it should be fun while it lasts, but I think Hank will be staying down in this one.
Crawford is in a good position to rule this division for a while and continue to build his name......all without the pressure to even move up to 147. He can wait til the smoke clears at 147 which will take at least 2-3 more years.
Even if Crawford does move up to Welter soon, the top guys will avoid him like crazy. They don't want the risk.

Crawford looked like he made weight easily. 140 is a bit of a wasteland. Not really all that much there for him. I was hoping we might get a Matthysse fight but he's coming back at welter
He has said that he wants to unify with postolQuote:

I have a soft spot for Lundy watching him fight on ESPN and seeing his career develop. I wish him well but know Crawford is very humble and special.
Same here. He's a slick lil warrior, but looks to be outclassed here.Quote:

Maybe if he performs well he may get that fight. I want him earning a lot of money, to show fighters it pays to be on ESPN.Quote:

Sean Monaghan won by 5th round TKO. He should fight a decent opponent like Shabranskyy next.
