Terence Crawford v David Avanesyan 10/12/23

[TitoFan]

That was an elite performance from Crawford. He was so calm and destructive not phased by the attack from Avanesyan.

It was like watching a prime Sweat Pea.

The stadium was packed and atmosphere great. Think Crawford got 10 million from this 1 fight deal so he is doing well since leaving Arum.

Crawford looks great blowing out second rate opposition- would love to see him dip his toe with a prime, elite fighter like Spence. At this point, it’s Spence or no one. I refuse to support or watch a fighter claim they’re the best while not fighting their biggest rivals.

I feel like prime Whitaker put on that level of performance against the best available opposition. I can’t compare the teo at this point- Pea went up to best #3 P4P Buddy McGirt to entice #1 P4P Chavez to fight him. Bud isn’t close to Pernell in my opinion.

Exactly right. And while this latest unfortunate incident isn't any of Crawford's doing (or fault)... this snake-bitten, now mythical matchup should've/ could've happened long ago.

But again... fans have been largely reduced to being content with just talking about potential fights instead of actually seeing them.

Hard to blame the fans. When it is clear that Crawford is to blame. BTW, as I’ve been calling this POS a f’n liar. He was guaranteed 2M not 10. 10 is the projected total because they wrongly suggest there is going to be PPV money. I have yet to talk to 1 person that paid for that garbage from that lying POS

This is just one place reporting it but there are many. Keep in mind Espinoza offered him a 10M guarantee with upside. And Terrence lied because he’s a f’n liar and said he was never offered a guarantee

Did they really let Bud continue fighting with a torn glove . Sounds like it went exactly as you think it would for a top elite facing a top 12'ish type opponent. Bud has always been a top level finisher with blood in the water and given all the theatrical nonsense fans have sat through (often cheering on) Bud needed to be all business going into it. It's a shame missing so many of these top fighters lately as the ppv tags multiple faster than two horny rabbits. When it's a best vs best match, I'll drop the coin, not when it's just a top guy in a stay busy fight. Love to see Bud back in there first quarter of 2023. 147 still has time...some time...to deliver on outstanding match ups.
