Official highlights
Good fight! Crawford is so in control.
Agree, it was a very good fight. Crawford was very calm and he is quite precise and strong with his punches
So I do like Crawford.
And this was a good showing BUT this isn’t and OMG win. Dulorme has proven not to be a top contender. Sorry but beating Hank Lundy … OK.
Also, looking also looking at Crawfords size
puts his past accomplishments in a negative light. It seems he was always the bigger man by a margin.
So since Haymon controls most of the 140 guys now
who is he going to fight? Good news is Matthysse is the only big puncher in the division. (Pac isn’t included as he, like Mayweather don’t need a belt to make 20-100 million)
Dulorme, Burns, Klimov, Sanabria, Prescott… All taller men than Crawford! And Beltran is equal in height. Yes, he has a long reach, but comparable to most fighters at 135 or 140. So about the size, the only fight in which it seemed really a factor was against Gamboa.
Prescott outweighed Crawford, by either 7 or 9 pounds.
