Broner called out Danny. Danny is starting to look like easy pickings to everyone right now.

Peterson should have been busier early in the fight. I'll have to rewatch it but it was close. I don't think Garcia can hang at 147.

Broner calls everyone out. I think he actually has a chance in this fight instead of the other unrealistic ones he wants like Khan,Pacman,etc. He never calls out Keith though ; )
I always felt Danny was a little overrated. Yeah, he had a good win against Matthysse but alot of people can argue that was luck, he knocked out Khan but was getting whitewashed the entire fight before he was able to land the left hook, he made Judah look like he was 25 in the second half of their fight, he got schooled by Herrera and now this.
It'll be real interesting to see what they do with Danny cause Danny looks real beatable right now, Hell, I even think Chris Algeri can give him problems.

He was hitting Khan with that left hook all fight.
I wouldn't say he was landing the left hook all night. He certainly was trying to catch him coming in and eventually he was able to do just that.
Yeah, I think the Garcia hype train has fallen off, haven't been impress with him with his last several fights. Not sure how well he'll do if he moves up, doesn't seem to have much punching power lately unless he gets lucky fighting someone with a weak chin (Khan), over the hill Erik Morales or fights a walking paid can like Rod Salka. Either way he has two unofficial losses now.

who do you guys think wins Prime for Prime Wlad or Vitali?
Depends on how well Wlad protects himself.
Shame we'll probably never even see footage of their legendary sparring sessions we've heard about.

who do you think is tougher, stronger, more skill etc..
You know it, don't forget that Matthysse vs Provodnikov will be on the card as well.
Matthyse vs. Provodnikov has fight of the year written all over it.
Wladimir is more skilled, athletic and seems to have more power in a single punch.
Vitali is more brutal and willing to engage. He's also bigger and probably a bit stronger(though I doubt it's much of a margin).
I personally don't like to measure a man's heart and toughness until his career is over.
I tend to lean towards Wlad(Manny Steward seemed to want that fight) but this is the heavyweight division we're talking about. It only takes one shot.

I'd go with Vitali mainly because I saw him eat some absolute bombs from Lennox Lewis and he's never been down, his chin is granite where as his brothers chin is still questionable.
I can understand that perspective.
Vitali's chin is legit. Wladimir's chin isn't as absorbent.
With that said, there's still a fading myth that Wladimir doesn't have character which I think is bs. He never gave up in his losses, his body gave out and the ref wisely stopped it.
Oh, I'd never say Wlad doesn't have heart or chracter, he's the reigning heavyweight champ for a reason and should always be respected as such. I just think his brother was a bit better than him. Vitali was really unorthodox for such a big guy, and Wlad wouldn't be able to fight him from range like he can a lot of other guys.
Also, Corrie Sanders hit Vitali with a monster left hook that wobbled him but didn't drop him, and we saw what happened when he connected with Wlad. Vitali's beard is the difference maker between them...

Vitali > Wlad
Wlad is better technically, but Vitali is a warrior. Dude had his face turned into a vagina by Lennox Lewis and still wanted to fight. Wlad....got KTFO multiple times and fights safety first.
Vitali cuts off the ring and kos his brother. No doubt!

In my dreams, a prime Evander slips a Wlad jab and hits him with those shots he landed on Foreman. Good night Wladdy.

Interesting first round. I'd give it to Crawford slightly.

I thought dulorme took it, and this second one.

Yeah it was pretty close. I gave the 2nd to Dulorme and the 3rd to Crawford. Terrance starting to land a bit more while Dulorme is just staying busy but missing.

Crawford taking control now.

I'd actually give that to Dulorme, barely. Crawford started landing more in the late stages of the round though. TC got this.

Good win. Crawford is the future.

Dulorme has a glass jaw. He can box his ass off, but he just can't take a good punch.
Heck of a debut from Crawford, not an impressive start to the fight but he lands the ones that matter

Really? More accurate than anything else. Dulorme's success was mostly due to outspeeding TC with flurries.
I'm getting shades of Arguello whenever I watch Crawford. Basic looking but once he gets the timing down of his opponent, woo baby.

Nope, he beat him from the middle rounds onward, Lucas hit his ceiling that night

Great finish by Crawford. Now time for Matthyse vs Provodnikov. I have no idea what's going to happen!

C'mon Lucas!
I'll predict a 4th RD K.O for the Argentinian slugger.

Lucas has got to go back to the jab, he's trying to out punch Provo which is playing right into his hands.

Lucas can dominate him from distance, doing a good job of smothering Ruslan when he gets close

Oof, Lucas somehow stays on his feet. 3 mins..

might be a draw, Lucas got conservative, he did a lot of holding

It could be a draw. Prod is a warrior.
