Mismatch. But when you’re as good as Crawford finding a challenge is hard.
Mexicans fight like in the 1920s swing and hope for luck ..Niggahs have taken this game to another level
aaron pryor: I kind of racist comment !!!
No welcome at all in this server.
Not being racist man I’m just stating facts, this is how they fight. The only smart fighter was Juan Marquez period
Take Mr Tango’s advice and go back to You tube with your narrow minded material.
Honestly, this place isn’t for you.
Pink folk lose their cool so easily, why are y’all so weak minded? Thats why y’all are now plastic Russians hahahahahahhaha
I know the truth hurts but it must be told. Pink folk hate truth because it is not natural to them. Lies and murder comes easily to pink folk..am i lying? smh
aaron pryor: To state facts you do not need to denigrate African-American people calling them with a word they don’t deserve. On the other hand, your knowledge about Mexican boxers is quiet disappointing and of date. Anyhow, regarding J Marquez he is indeed a very good boxer
WTF? Did I denigrate African Americans? I am African American you jacka*s , tell me how did i denigrate Afros? Dang you can’t even read properly. I know boxing and JMM is the only Mexican skilled boxer that I can respect, the rest are hyped b*ms period .
aaron pryor: Unfortunately, you displayed a lack of luster and education by calling me jacka*s and using the term “Niggahs” when you refers to your own people. FYI, since it looks like you aren’t aware of, “Niggahs” is a derogative word which is very inconvenient to describe African-Americans.
Regarding boxing, since you forgot to mention Canelo, Chavez Sr., Barrera, Morales (among others) I doubt very much you know anything about Mexican boxing. Period.
A wide open, brave and aggressive Molina was totally overwhelmed by Crawford’s boxing proficiency. As soon as Crawford switched to the southpaw stance the fight was over for Molina and Crawford use him as a target practice. A totally mismatch that should have been stopped by Molina’s corner if they have a little bit of compassion. Evidently they don’t.
Outcome that was expected.
Good job by Crawford but I only give it a 2 as no reason for this fight to ever happen.
So I’m curious how Arum will maneuver Crawford next.
I would hope Crawford would want to clear out the division. Broner next. Then either Indongo or Orozco. Less Troyanovsky come back in a rematch against Indongo.
The big fight I see being possible is Crawford Vs Spence Jr.
1 1/2″ height difference. About the only fight I can see for Crawford to shoot himself into mega stardom. (if he won of course)
I think that was exactly the point with this fight: an easy KO for Crawford against a guy who made a name for himself in fights vs Provodnikov and Matthysse, offered by Arum on a silver plate in order to boost eventual PPV sales. Crawford is at the top of this game, but you’re right that real stardom is still to come. You’re also right that there ain’t much challenge for him at 140 lbs, unless a guy like Linares or even Lomachenko steps up in weight, he will have to step up himself at a 147lbs, a division staked with great fighters and big money opportunities.
