Beltran just scored a brutal left hook KO over Jonathan Maicelo.

That was a hellacious ko.

Sorry I created another thread Ricky. I didn't see yours.

Np mate the other threads entitled Beltran anyway, the guy is reminding me of Marquez the way he's improving in the twilight of his career.

Took some money on Crawford to win inside the distance. Hoping he steps on the gas like he did vs Molina.

Diaz is a good fighter. Good Opponent for Crawford. Not in the class of Crawford though. So hopefully we get a good fight.

Diaz rehydrated to 161. Crawford 157. This should be good.

Steve Willis has to be one of the weirdest looking refs I've ever seen.

Rd 1 = Diaz is the one that looks like a tank. Crawford comes out spaw and firing. Real good jab. TCraw. Rights Diaz.

10-9 TCraw but expends a lot of energy.

Crawford 1-0. Easy first round.

Who's the female commentator?

Rd 2 = nice left Diaz and TCraw gets nasty. Nice left TCraw. Diaz as usual winging mostly missing but making TCraw work hard. Nice left crawford. Great jabs. Nice right Diaz. Not enough

10-9 TCraw

20-18 TCraw but again expending a lot of energy.

Rd. 2 to Craw but Diaz lands a few good shots near the end of the round.

Diaz is a tough ass fighter. Losing every round but hitting Crawford more than anyone else ever has. You'd expect him to get some shots in considering he arguably beat Lamont Peterson.

Diaz will lose every round. His only chance is landing a home run shot.

Rd 3 = diaz lands right while getting peppered. Big right TCraw another. This is a tough night of work for TCraw., but he is up to it so far.

10-9 TCraw

30-27 TCraw

Crawford answering some questions bout his chin. Ate some big left hooks.

I dont watch much of this weight but this is a good stylistic match up. A forward coming, head moving hooker throwing bombs vs a tall rangy boxer. Will Diaz get fatigued out or will he catch up to Crawford. Good so far.

Edit more high guard than head movement by Diaz.

Crawford looks great, the footwork is great, he can punch from anywhere and he's clearly got a chin too.

Rd 4 = TCraw is a master. Left Diaz. Excellent upcut craw. Diaz goes for mugging craw plays his game. Big left near end of round TCraw

10-9 TCraw

40-36 TCraw

Diaz has serious beard.

I'd be surprised if this went the distance.

Crawford 4-0

Serious question. Who the hell is Crawford supposed to fight in this division? There's nothing.

Crawford is a fantastic boxer but has no personality whatsoever. He will never become a big star no matter how hard HBO pushes him.

True. Way too nice a guy. Soft spoken.

Rd 5 = big big left upcut TCraw. Nice hard body work Craw. Beautiful jab on TCraw maybe best in boxing. Little left Diaz. Still only fifth round but TCraw is absolutely amazing so far.

10-9 TCraw

50-45 TCraw

He's just too damn good, making a quality boxer look daft here!
