Ced The Boxing Coach

COMPLETE. UTTER. DOMINATION.
-
Fresh on the heels of a virtuoso historic performance, it is evident that is CLEARLY the pound for pound number one fighter in the world. We saw the very best version of Crawford as he put his full skill set on display, doling out a thorough drubbing of the former champion .
-
At times, the fight became hard to watch as ESJ lacked pop on his shots, routinely got caught throwing wide punches and appeared shot as Crawford, who routinely had been questioned about his power & size in the division, appeared sharper & stronger than the normal battering ram that is ESJ.
-
The fate of the fight seemed to be determined early on after a second round knockdown by Crawford. The doctor had to come in and do a welfare check. I was hoping Derrick James would have the wherewithal to stop the punishment as there is a rematch clause. The ref clearly made the decision to step in and save Spence in the 9th.
-
I picked Crawford by decision but was completely surprised by how much stronger & sharper he was than Spence. The rematch now seems futile & Crawford clearly has established himself as welterweight supremacy.

-

If it’s the last time we see in the ring, I want to thank him for being such a champion in and out of the ring and wish him the best in his future endeavors.
-
Manny’s electric hand speed and blistering footwork kept him amongst the elites in boxing for 3 decades.
-
I had the Ugas fight close. I have no qualms w the decision as Manny clearly didn’t have the legs anymore to take advantage of Ugas. Ugas’s length just posed too many issues w Manny trying to come in but I had Manny ahead before the latter part of the fight.
-
It’s hard to truly encapsulate a career of greatness that is Manny Pacquaio’s life in the ring, but I do appreciate him being an advocate that good guys can win and the quiet ones are the most dangerous.
-
Well done, Manny. Hall of Famer. All the time great. One of the 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐.
