Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

Great deadspin article on Omaha's Bud Crawford who is fighting at MSG Saturday night on HBO.

Bud Crawford: America's next great boxer.

Good boxer but I don't personally think he's been tested yet. Beat say Adrien Broner and Postal I'll give him the respect everyone else does but for now I think he's the beneficiary of pretty weak divisions. Definitely an exciting fighter to watch though and I hope he move up to welterweight and gets to fight Bradley because that'd be a very interesting clash.

Deontay Wilder will get the most publicity as America's next great fighter simply because he's a heavyweight.

HamNo's writing about sports now? Interesting.

I usually get a chuckle over how batshit insane his articles and the comments section tend to be.

Bud came out and shot for money for a charity during one of the Creighton games. He couldn't hit anything, which was surprising. He's a little guy, but he's a baller and played with some Creighton guys in summer league a few times. He gets a big hand when they show him on the big screen.

5th round TKO by Crawford at MSG last night. He loves him some Jays gear.

Super smart move by the Creighton marketing department. Don't know what its costing them, but it has to be worth every penny.

Fights again July 23rd against Postal. Finally he'll be tested by a real boxer who's still prime. He wins this I'll believe the hype.

Also for anyone looking for a pro boxer who actually went to a Big East school Luis Arias is 14-0 great up and coming prospect, I used to fight out of the same gym when we were amateurs. You can see he reps MU on his trunks

Interesting that Postol's one demand was that the fight not be in Omaha.

Crawford fighting tonight for the unified 140lb title with all 4 belts on the line. Two belts each for Crawford and Indogno. There have only been 3 or 4 unification bouts between undefeated boxers in history.

Starting on ESPN shortly.

Spectacular 3rd round knockout. The sky's the limit for Mr. Crawford.
