I'm not either. Its a tough fight for Ricky but its definitely winnable. You can see the talent in Crawford but he has a low work rate imo and that's where Ricky can capitalize. The guy is totally untested and appears to be one of these lazy counter punchers. That Klimov fight almost put me into a coma. The best guy on his ledger is Prescott. A guy with a punch that could not box his way out of a doorway.

Its troubling sometimes to me at just how much the venue means today in the sport. I hate to say it but in many instances it has actually decided the fight either by dubious officials or the traveling fighter mentally collapsing.
