It's been 5 days since Ruiz and Joshua and we're still talking about their fight... while Bud's fight is 2 days from now and there's this deafening snooze-fest. Does this mean Crawford isn't exciting and popular anymore?

Cause Crawford only fights bums, his best win at welter weight is Jeff horn, his best win in general is probably a past his prime Gamboa.
Also remember gamboa had no business at 135.
His best win is against a guy with one leg. The hornet is overrated, all memes aside.
Postol. He roughed up and took it to a really talented Josh Taylor, while getting dominated by Crawford.
Reddit is hilarious. Postol became bum of the month after Crawford made him look like the easiest win of his career. Same thing happened to Linares / Walters after Loma beat them both, lmfao. Crickets when you mention he's in his 3rd weight class, but k.

Arum is brewing his next superstar and hoping that Crawford will win since he's more marketable in the U.S. So excited about this fight...could go either way but if I had to choose: Viktor goes Postol on Crawford.
Man I can't WAIT for Postol to pull the upset and shut down Crawford. I mean I don't think it will be a blowout (I think it will be a somewhat boring close affair cause if Postol is gonna win it's gonna be on his terms at his pace which is usually slower and less exciting) but everyone who think Crawford is so good (which he is but when people give his resume as a reason it really irks) will finally eat crow.

I think it's a real 50/50 fight, at least on paper. I'm leaning towards Postol, partly because Crawford is a slow starter.
He easily loses the first rounds and I see this going to a close decision and that could be critical.
Also last time I bet vs Postol ..... was just not a good experience for me
Postol uses his height and reach to outbox Crawford. I wouldn't even be surprised if Crawford gets stopped.
Postol is highly underrated.
Crawford via controversial decision.
Its a pick em, but I'm going with the same bet which is Crawford
Real 50/50 though
I see Postol taking the decision. Many thought Mattysse was going to beat him and Postol KO'd him - which was a surprise to many. Don't think he'll KO Crawford, but he'll take the majority dec. Excellent fight nonetheless.
50-50 fight. I hope Crawford wins though
Crawford. I think he is too dangerous at this weight for Postol to deal with him. Should be a great fight though, definitely a harder one to call. Any other person at 140 I think either of these two would stomp em, they're definitely the two big dogs.
I think Crawford's power might give him the edge and lead him to a decision.
definitely not going to be an easy one though.
I see either one getting hit with a bomb and going down.
I want Crawford to win, but I see Postol giving him major problems if it plays out how I'm expecting it to.
My predictions suck, and I got Postol on this one so that probably means Crawford will win. This is a great gift from the boxing gods up there with Porter/Thurman.
It’s hard to get hype for his fights when you know he can’t fight the people you wanna see him fight. Plus Top Rank does a shit job promoting him ESPN barely mentions until the week of his fights.
Looks like Mr Bob isn't doing his job very well lately.
Hes doing a good job, just not with crawford lmao. Fury is getting all the attention over there.
Maybe he forgot Crawford is under him. lol. Old age Dementia is no joke.
It's kind of hard for an 87 year old multi millionaire to get out of bed for Crawford-Kavalauiskas, especially when you have Fury Wilder 2 on the table and loma under contract
He's the GOAT at promoting foreign fighters, but awful at promoting Americans, especially African Americans. It's why Floyd bought himself out of his contract and did it himself.

The only reason I'm watching this match is because of Egidijus
Willing to bet almost every boxing fan looking at that card is more excited about Commey vs Lopez than Crawford - he's an exceptional talent but his level of opposition is woeful.
Because it's basically an exhibition for Crawford. There's no real competition or tension. We know who will win barring some act of god. I wouldn't even call it "sport".
ESPN and Crawford aren't even talking about the fight.
The whole promotion is centered around clout chasing PBC fighters, its been that way for his last 3 fights.
Anybody watching that is more excited about Commey vs Lopez. Idgaf about Crawford unplugging a machine.
lmaooooo
P4P fighting cans? No thank you. He isn’t facing the competition of Canelo or Loma.. hell even Spence was facing decent fighters before he got injured. Arum is holding all his fighters back.
Arum promotes Lomachenko
What tough competition is Loma facing?
He fought linares and rigondeux. Who has Crawford fought that tough on ESPN?
Everybody is fed up watching Crawford dismantling subpar competitors and talking shit like he is the one being avoided by all boxers... His opponent is not even close to being a threat for him so why even discuss this fight
I remember a year or two ago thinking, "He'll take some big fights soon..." and ya, still waiting on that. It's a shame...
We ain’t talking because it takes 2 guys to make a good fight . Hence No one gives a crap who he fights . All the other top 147s fight each other
Simple, who da FOOK is he fighting? As competition grows, so does interest.
crawford is the opposite of shawn porter. won't fight anyone and doesn't care if he puts on a good show for the fans.
Fight a real welterweight and look good and we might even look over there. So many guys he can fight but he keeps letting arum give him bums instead of taking control of his career and fight some of these actually interesting welterweight shit I'd rather see him fight broner then the bums he has been fighting.
He’s never been popular. He’s been fighting bum after bum for the longest time, and has virtually non existent mainstream attention. No one is hyped to see him crush another no-name.
Because u/WarDishy isn't promoting this fight. Paging u/WarDishy for some countdown gifs.
I honestly feel kinda bad cuz I kinda like Kavaliauskas. I think it's waaayyy too early for this fight to be good but he's not terrible
He doesn’t fight anyone near his talent level.
How about you watch me punch a can of ragu? Feel hyped? Me either. Crawford wins LoL
Ragu by split decision
no offence amigo, just feel like we're due for a major upset.
Because hes fighting a NOBODY.
He just kinda disappeared off the radar, it seems.
I didn't even know he was fighting. Also I don't have ESPN+ so I don't watch his fights.
I don't get to watch any major fights live. I don't have a subscription to anything. :(
Saturday will be on regular ESPN. He hasn't fought on ESPN+ since Horn, the only time he has ever done so.
Wow really? Crawford is fighting on regular cable ESPN, no PPV?
Correct.
