Crawford made it look so easy! I think it was too much pressure to take for Indongo. It seemed as if he tried to make a big statement early by throwing these wide overhand lefts right from the start, but that’s a terrible mistake against a genius like Crawford. There no one left for him to beat at 140lbs, except Garcia or eventually Lomachenko if he moves up in weight. The difference in size (in reach particularly) would be a huge advantage for Crawford facing one of these two and his punching power at 140lbs is unmatched right now. But anyway, I think Crawford will move up to 147lbs, so many big names there and a lot more money to make.
Agreed. Indongo has a tendency to throw those awkward looping / lunging lefts after which his defense is non-existent. Like you mentioned, that is probably the worst thing you can do against a guy like Crawford. He should’ve known better!
Dear host, within your possibilities, please be so kind to post this video again.
Thank you

Excellent video. Thank you very much for your fast response.
Being as good as he is and in top of that a southpaw boxer would be very difficult in the coming years, may be many, to find an adversary capable to beat him in this category.
