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

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

Michael Conlan gets his revenge over Vladimir Nikitin as Teofimo Lopez stuns Richard Commey to take IBF title
Michael Conlan got revenge over Vladimir Nikitin after an unanimous points victory over the Russian in New York.
Bad blood has festered between Conlan and Nikitin since their hugely controversial meeting at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
Conlan was denied a medal after the fight was scored in the Russian’s favour with the Irish fighter slamming officials before retiring from amateur boxing on the spot.
Now two years into his professional career, featherweight Conlan extended his record to 13-0 win a disciplined performance against his old rival at Madison Square Garden.
The judges' scorecards read 98-92, 99-91 and 100-90 in Conlan's favour.
"I have no ill-feeling to Vladimir. It wasn't personal. But I needed to get one back,” Conlan said.
"That fight could have been very emotional for me after everything that happened. I had to remain calm. We worked on it in training and it worked tonight."
Elsewhere on the card, Teofimo Lopez was crowned the new IBF lightweight champion at just 22, stopping Richard Commey in the second round. Lopez floored the Ghanaian with a devastating right that the now former champion never recovered from. Brooklyn-born Lopez waded in for the finish to become a world champion in just his 15th pro fight.
Terence Crawford meanwhile retained his WBO welterweight title with an impressive ninth round knockout win over Egidijus Kavaliauskas.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

I dunno think mostly it was seen as a tough close fight but Spence pulling it out for a great learning experience. Porter raised his stakes and hey if Porter v Crawford opens new avenues to Arum and Haymon bigger future I'm all for it. Like to see him jump ship, PBC seems to keep two tiers of top names. Those with a guided future and warmer names for big opponent roles. Kind of feels like where Danny Garcia is at.
crawford is brutal when he has a guy hurt. crawford took a lot of punches. kaval was better than i thought
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
