Terence Crawford is gearing up for a fresh showdown in a new weight division. He will face Israil Madrimov at the huge Riyadh Season Card at the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, California. The Uzbek boxer’s WBA light middleweight belt will be at stake. But it seems the duo will fight for the WBO’s interim title as well. Apart from the Crawford-Madrimov duel, the event will put on display three other title fights along with a few exciting heavyweight bouts, including the comeback of former heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jr.
It will be ‘Bud’s first foray into 154 pounds. So needless to say, many deem it a potential move to get closer to a fight with Canelo Alvarez. It’s a fight; Crawford has expressed a keen interest quite a few times. But as his long-time trainer, Brian ‘Bomac’ McIntyre, said, Team Crawford’s entire focus remains on the fight,
staring at them. Thus, the Nebraskan Southpaw is leaving no stone unturned to pull off a favorable outcome on August 3. He shared training footage with fans and followers today. To keep them and himself motivated, he roped in the famous quotes of Eric Thomas, ‘The Hip-Hop Preacher’.
Terence Crawford: Elevate Your Game
Seemingly emphasizing all his magical skills, which have mesmerized thousands of fans across the globe, Terence Crawford’s post says that they can neither be learned nor acquired externally. He said, “IN ME, NOT ON ME‼️ What I got can’t be taught.” A few ‘angry face with horns’ emoticons joined alongside. It doesn’t appear that any fan or follower would disagree with that opinion.
The proof of the pudding lies in eating. Hence, one need only look at some of the responses ‘Bud’ Crawford received. One fan said that the first two-division undisputed champion among men is ‘from another planet’. Another simply wrote, “GAMENESS, CHARACTER, DISCIPLINE, GRIT, DETERMINATION, WILL, DESIRE TO PREVAIL, =C R A W F O R D.”
