Who wins Matthysse vs Crawford?

Post by PsychoGamerTwo »

Who wins it? Winner gets Danny Garcia for unification.

EDIT: Matthysse has shown he's got a solid chin, while he took a good amount of punishment yesterday. Crawford has decent power, but Gamboa/Dulorme aren't known for their great chin. Don't think he can stop Matthysse, if Provodnikov couldn't.

Crawford himself was hurt against Gamboa though, and Matthysse seems to have enough power to hurt anyone. I think if it goes the distance, it could be a close decision for Crawford, a 'la Garcia. If it ends early, it will probably Matthysse's night.

Not sure who i'd bet my money on, but its a fight i'd want to see!

I don't think Crawford is the same as when he fought Gamboa, I actually think he has improved; he has learned how to time and measure fighters and LM simply walks in throwing punches without really setting traps like Crawford does.

Keep thinking of lil Gamboa making Crawford do s poor mans stanky leg he was hurt.

Lucas is one of the hardest hitters in boxing he will land on crawford who tends to get tagged a bit and when he does its over.

Lucas tko late in the fight reminiscent of the Peterson fight but will last longer.

But no need for lucas to fight these upcoming young guys.

Lucas deserves the big guns bring on Floyd/manny winner or heck even the loser of that one.

I agree, but still... Matthysse is a atleast 2 divisions above Gamboa, power-wise. As good as Crawford is, i don't think he can go 12 rounds without getting hit, and i don't think he'll beat Matthysse early either.

Crawford UD or Matthysse T/KO.

The fight will never happen. TR is grooming Crawford as a star and a fight with Matthysse doesn't make since because it's not PPV. Just put yourself in Arum's shoes for a minute. TR can make more money per fight by having Crawford fight less dangerous fighters at 140. Crawford vs Provo. People will always tune in for a Provo fight. Then Crawford vs. Vargas. Crawford moves up to 147 and fights Rios then Bradley. Crawford has a road to stardom bypassing Matthysse. Matthysse needs this fight more than Crawford. I just don't see Arum working with Oscar unless it's a small promotion or PPV. There's no need to.

Crawford on points or Matthysse by KO. Either one is just as likely as the other IMO. I am not convinced that Crawford can survive Matthysse's power but he is the better boxer.
