Is anyone planning a big fancy OP for this fight or should I just honor this requestMr. F! posted:This is the Spence Crawford thread now. Mods please change the name. from the Davis vs Garcia thread? Or I guess a small not-fancy OP would do too. I dunno, just feels weird mixing the stuff from months apart.

The SituAsian posted:He's the easy pound for pound number 1 no matter what happens on Saturday between Crawford and Spence I was wrong. I think it's a 1a, 1b type situation, but that type of total domination of Spence makes Crawford 1a and Inoue 1b for now.

154 is pretty wide open with Jermell moving up to 168, if the Crawford/Spence rematch has to happen, hopefully it’s at 154.

I'm more interested in a Crawford-Ennis match at 147 to be honest. After last night I think Crawford handles business there.

kimbo305 posted:I can't remember an all southpaw fight where the positioning and capitalizing on that positioning was as great as what Crawford did. Using these as a source of all-southpaw fights: https://www.reddit.com/r/Boxing/comments/4h1w1r/best_southpaw_vs_southpaw_fight/ https://boxing-social.com/features/memorable-southpaw-vs-southpaw-battles/ I looked at: - Loma vs Russell Jr - Hagler vs Minter - Martinez vs Williams 1 - Judah vs Spinks 1 - Whitaker vs Ramirez 1 - Lara vs Trout There was a variety of adjustment for fighting another southpaw on display. I noticed that footwork tended to be done the same way as fighting against orthodox -- circling to the right into the power hand. Really hard to override those habits. Sweet Pea actually fully committed to this, though his distancing was on point and kept him out of trouble. Loma was the most disciplined about circling to the left and did pretty solid slipping and weaving out of it, but looked much more average with the fluidity and positioning of his combos. He was dominating toward the end and looked like a brawler with how he was landing hooks. Judah had some flashes of tactical brilliance in there, and to be fair that's what I'd say about most of his fights, but didn't look particularly at home fighting a southpaw. I'd say Hagler had the most complete looking game against a southpaw. He did still circle to the right but was great at slipping the jab and was very balanced (left/right) on defense and attack. He was the most fluid in the pocket in getting out of trouble or moving in to land punches. This cursory look bolsters what I was thinking, which is that Crawford vs Spence was one of the best displays of skill in conventional boxing tactics in a southpaw vs southpaw fight. In a sport where you spend a majority of your rounds working a southpaw gameplan and tactical set, Crawford looked absolutely brilliant in conventional positioning and punch combos, where I would expect him to have spent far less time working in the gym.

KidDynamite posted:why would bud do this? Bud wants to move up, also it would be exceedingly difficult to sell the rematch at 147, and I’d honestly be surprised if Spence could even make 147 properly anymore. He clearly wasn’t able to do so for the first fight, which is a big reason to why he looked so bad physically in there.

Allegedly they’re tip toeing around because there’s a Wilder-Joshua fight in the works for December which has kind of killed the momentum for all involved

Five biggest fights that can be made in boxing now IMO: 1. Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk 2. Deontay Wilder vs Anthony Joshua 3. Dmitry Bivol vs Artur Beterbiev 4. Canelo Alvarez vs David Benavidez (or Demetrius Andrade if he fights and beats Benavidez) 5. Gervonta Davis vs Shakur Stevenson HON: Teofimo Lopez vs Devin Haney/Regis Prograis winner (assuming this is really happening)

AJ has also been in ultra-safe fighting mode for years now, he’ll take a wide decision in an incredibly boring fight and afterwards claim that he was going for the KO, no really

I think this guy could very well be my least favourite fighter of all time. He makes a meal out of every fight he's in, his under-confidence and timidity sap any entertainment value or sense of investment I might have.

Not impressive obviously but it gets the job done. It's now or never for the Wilder fight so might as well. EDIT: Marching Powder posted:
Keyshawn Davis is fighting at 135 right now and is signed to Top Rank. Me, Mr. F! and ninthlayer caught him about a year and half ago when Shakur Stevenson beat Oscar Valdez when he throughly crushed his opponent and he's been looking great ever since. Lightweight is stacked and he's on the right side of the promotional divides so he'll probably get a decent shot sooner rather than later.
