And he beats him easier than people think. Crawford has significant height and reach advantages, and is faster. Diaz also doesn't the power to hurt Crawford.

Probably but I think it's going to be a difficult fight.
Fo sho
Man no love for Crawford this close to fight time??? Think Diaz will show Crawford some concerning moments and bit different style. Saw him being flat dismissed in a couple of spots and don't quite understand that. Saw Beltran being featured on two news programs earlier, "fighting for his green card"? That should also be a good scrap.
Holy sh-t Beltran scored a perfect KO.
So much great action tonight
Making a habit of sending guys out on a stretcher. Perfect shot. Have to root for a guy who shouts out his auto shop and kids rather than the political moment Max was pushing ;DQuote:

2-0 Crawford but Diaz landed 2 good shots in the round. The 2nd really got Crawfords attention
Heating up. That right by Diaz looked nice. Not enough to win the round.
3-0 Crawford, he has him figured out and is going to work.
Crawford landed a big solid right that round. Starting to get the straight left through as well. Diaz still coming forward. Crawford opening up at rounds end. Looks dominant when he lets his hands go.
Really no need to say round winners at this point. Bud beating him up
Crawford adding the uppercut to the arsenal in the 4th. His combos are on point. Diaz trying everything he can. Rough stuff but to no avail.
Crawford makes him reset every time off that jab..and then that uppercut. Diaz will look like he had a bag of feral cats tied over his head at this rate. Top notch accumulation
It's not that Diaz isn't a good fighter, it's just that Crawford is much better. Landing the uppercut nicely.
I may be cursing the guy ;D but reminds a bit of the mid season top Hopkins. He just wants to break you down and beat you up.
Crawford can do whatever he wants whenever he wants.
Diaz starting to swell under the right eye in the 6th. He tries to change tactics halfway through the round trying to get Craford to come forward but Crawford ain't having none of that; so Diaz goes back to being the aggressor and getting countered.
Got caught in cruise control there! Diaz last stand
Diaz going for broke in the 7th winging big ounches but get countered by big shots. Exciting round. Crawford getting the best of the exhanges. Crawford refuses again to engage Diaz on the ropes.
Diaz is brave but he is taking a beating.
There's no quit in Diaz, he is still trying to find a way to win. Crawford has an answer for everything he does tho.
The corner needs to stop this soon
A big straight left wobbles Diaz early in the 9th. Diaz moving and covering up defensively for most of the round. Throwing back over the last 30.
Character minute for Crawford..end it or posture and clown with him
Nah man. That was bullshit. Crawford doesn't need that silly amateurish shit.
I hate when i end up yelling at the screen for them to stop it before they do
The Dr's checking out the right eye of Diaz before the start of the 10th. Crawfords left doing major damage towards the end of the round. Corner stops it at rounds end. Excellent performance!
Yeah playing with him, smiling at the corner, patting him on the head with the extended jab. Just end it.Quote:

The main thing is that Crawford needs to move up in weight to 147 where there are better fights for him. I don't mind people staying in their weight class, but Crawford is big. It's not as if he is any smaller than most other welterweights.
He already called out Thurman and Pac. But he isn't likely to get those fights. So it will probably be Indongo(who was at the fight suggesting that will be next)Quote:

Pacqiuao definitely needs to step up and fight Crawford next. It's time. Thurman is out for a little bit so I doubt that Thurman would be next. If somehow brook beats spence then that would be a great fight.
pacquaio is old and no longer elite(crawford is among the best of the best) in my opinion, crawford would beat him with ease, I just don't see the fun in that fight, really uninteresting for me, beat up a faded old guy.... great..........:S.. it would make a load of money though so good for them.Quote:

The posing and tapping of diazs head became pretty annoying though, the first time it was funny but after a while crawford looked a bit stupid and unable to finish him properly :S... I thoguht it was a great performance though and crawford is defo one of the p4p out there.
