Terence Crawford v Egidijus Kavaliauskas

[Ron Swanson]

Crawford is going to ruin this guy. But the Mean Machine has made a fan out of me

Love crawford, he's just evil... He certainly underestimated this fellow though like everyone else :S, fought stupid and made him look good,seemed to try too hard to splat the guy without placing the foundations, he'll have trouble if he tries that v the top big guys, I think he'll be smarter v the other Guys though.. Defo got hit far more than he should but lucky for crawford he can put himself up a gear.

Crawfords names no names that's a bit disappointing. Great finish but keep waring in these types to prove a point but then declare no direction and it can catch up. Really hope he and Spence find their way

I'd be happy with Crawford/ Porter.

This was one of those instances where the better fighter made mistakes but was just too good to lose. He won’t make these same mistakes against a top welterweight

Sounds like Espn would be too. But ultimately it's just a measuring stick to gauge Spence v Crawford. Cut to the chase

The problem is that spence is going to need a comeback fight first to make sure he is fine after his accident

Also Spence/ Porter was close enough to arguably go either way. Porter against Crawford is a quality fight, and who knows if Spence will return the same?

I have to go back to this. Crawford does have a mean, evil streak in him that comes out whenever he feels embarrassed by the other guy. Whether Kava was underrated or not (and it seems like he was), the boxing world fully expected total domination by Bud from start to finish. When that wasn't happening, and Bud was getting tagged, he probably said WTF is this..... and put himself into that other gear you mentioned, @palmerq .

He went righty and I thought he was even more lethal as a righty than in his natural, southpaw stance. Many fighters toy with the opposite stance during fights. But Crawford does righty better than many would expect. Once he went into "seek and destroy" mode, Kava had little chance. Had he not tagged Crawford so much and so effectively early on, Bud may have been content with outboxing him throughout the 12 rounds. So in retrospect I'm glad Kava pissed him off.
