Lets get this right - Indongo is a far bigger betting outsider than McGregor to beat Floyd. The silly Floyd mismatch is considered more competitive than the super duper shiny belts fight.

Indongo didn't look like a P4P world-conqueror beating a virtual "shot" Burns. He's a tall bloke with a rinse and repeat left hand that showed a good engine in a fight he was allowed to dominate and control.

Crawford KO within 6. (7/2)
So you big up Marriaga who has 0 good wins, is 0-3 in title fights for a fight moving up in weight. But steal the shine off a guy who is trying to do what has only been done once since the 80's and is fighting in his division. The division he has won 2 titles in traveling to his opponents home towns. Interesting completely backwards perspective.

I agree that Crawford wins though, just not within 6.
I never "bigged up" Marriaga.

My point is about FANS not fighters, there's no criticism or "shine stealing" going on.

If you understood my points you would realise the Marriaga situation is perfectly consistent with this. Belts dazzle your wide eyes but the substance behind them is all that matters. Marriaga is a better opponent than Indongo.
