Nice fight. Always fun to see the P4P #1 in action, especially when he’s going toe-to-toe with a tough challenger. Crawford could have played it safe and danced around Kavaliauskas, but he made it a brawl. I’m not complaining.
good fight from both guys Crawford just the meaner machine
Both guys just staying in each other’s wheel house throughout the fight led to some great exchanges. Crawford has one of the best punch selections I’ve ever seen from a modern boxer. Seems like he just knows what to throw given a certain distance, angle, and timing. When Kavaliauskas tried to swtich things up by getting up close and started leaning on him in the 8th, Crawford soon thwarts him off with two brutal uppercuts on the inside. Phenomenal.
Fantastic finish from Crawford.
Excellent fight between a very talented boxer and one that excels. This was one of the most dangerous bout that Crawford was involved with. It fully proves that in the categories that Crawford is the king there isn’t nobody available, in the near or distant future ready enough as to beat him and get one of his titles. He took a real risk interchanging punches and doing a short distance fight with such a good boxer and powerful puncher but he fully succeed because his exceptional skills and impressive speed. A really good victory and one more of many ahead,
