Judges Ron McNair, Waleska Roldan and Tom Schreck were mostly in agreement in scoring Saturday’s clash between WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford and Egidijus Kavaliauskas at Madison Square Garden.
All three awarded Kavaliauskas round two and Schreck also gave Kavaliauskas round three (as we did). Crawford took over in round four and won every round thereafter. At the time of the stoppage, Crawford was up 79-72, 79-72, 78-73 in a bout that was more entertaining than most expected.

i really enjoyed this fight,Kav gave him all he had and bud took it and then picked him apart, kudos to bud crawford
Great fight!! Real champions!! Both of them. Kav is a hell of a fighter. His stock went up bigtime, and good for him! He tried very hard!!
I guess the right hands in Buds face didn’t count on the scorecards after round 3! How many did Bud catch in face after round 3? Body shots? Wow pretty fair scoring
exactly rounds 1-3 were clearly for the unknown challenger and how can the Top Rank butt kissing commentators say that Bud is P4P the best when he fights either unknowns or clearly non elite opponents or smaller or has beens ??? Canelo clearly P4P best on 99% of the REAL boxing experts list
Porter and Crawford should go over to Golden Boy for a 2 fight deal. Porter and Crawford can fight as the main event on a Golden Boy card. The winner can fight Teixeira or Ortiz Jr., and Golden Boy also has Blair Cobbs and Rashidi Ellis. If Crawford really wants to try to do the Porter fight, he’ll have to walk away from Top Rank for a couple, and Porter may take the bait. Porter probably thinks he can take the WBO belt away from Crawford. Crawford and Porter aren’t getting any younger, both turned 32 recently.
Your joking right? Why is Green as Lettuce Blair Cobbs being mentioned as an opponent for Crawford or Porter LOL.
BUD IS A BAD MAN P4P
