Terence Crawford‘s trainer, Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre, expressed his relief on social media after his release from the historic HM prison in Birmingham, England. He is now a free man after his release. He was arrested in September for carrying a loaded firearm in his suitcase at the airport. McIntyre, a native of Omaha, Nebraska, had a stint as a journeyman heavyweight from 1994 to 2007.

Despite his modest record of 7 wins, 14 losses, and 2 knockouts, he managed to make a mark by enduring the full four rounds against Butterbean in November 2004. Eventually, he discovered his true passion and calling as a coach. As a result, he paved the way for his journey in the world of training and mentoring fighters.

Now that the bad times are over, the coach has his luck turned over as he poses with an enormous stack of cash after becoming the coach of the year. The Floyd Mayweather imitation has fans talking.

Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre on his way to becoming the next Floyd Mayweather? Fans have their own theories.

Hard work pays. McIntyre posed for a picture with stacked up cash, biting one stack while looking at the camera. The coach has been a strong pillar for his boxers. While he enjoys the fruits of his labor, fans have a few mixed reactions.

“That’s cool and all but money so dirty, never ever put it in your mouth! Disgusting.” said one fan who found the act unhygienic.

What’s the whole purpose of blk people always showing the money and jewelry? I don’t Bill gate or Facebook owner doing the same” said another fan who questioned the showcase of vanity.

BoMac also shaped the careers of champions like Amir Khan, Jamel Herring, and Maurice Hooker, and currently trains the promising Lightweight prospect Keyshawn Davis, marking him as a respected figure in the boxing world. However, the one fighter who has stayed by his side since the very beginning is none other than Crawford.

How far back do Terence Crawford and Brian “BoMac” McIntyre go?

In the heart of Omaha’s challenging neighborhood, Brian “BoMac” McIntyre, a former journeyman heavyweight, discovered a young talent just down the street—Terence Crawford. Little did he know that their initial connection in training for the Butterbean bout would lead to an extraordinary partnership. Crawford, under BoMac’s guidance, transformed into a boxing sensation.

Since turning professional in 2008, Crawford soared to greatness, clinching world titles in multiple weight classes. BoMac’s influence was pivotal. It aided Crawford in becoming the first male fighter to achieve double undisputed status. Additionally, reigning as the Welterweight champion after defeating Errol Spence Jr.

McIntyre has made a blasting comeback after his prison time. While he was already on his way up, the unforeseen legal trouble put a break on it. However, he is back and ready to give his best again. What do you think of this comeback?

In the world of boxing, victories are often measured by belts and bruises. But for Terence Crawford, it’s bricks and mortar. Fresh off a stunning win against Errol Spence Jr. and a cool $25 million richer, Crawford’s fists aren’t just packing punches. They’re building palaces. His latest Instagram post offers a sneak peek, not of swollen gloves or championship belts, but of the stately entrance to his nascent mansion. A testament to his prowess outside the ring.

At “Chateau Crawford,” the staircases rise, not to a podium for a belt, but to the halls of a king’s domain. Here, the talk isn’t of jabs or uppercuts. It’s about architecture and legacy. There’s no ring in sight, yet the champ’s latest move is strategic, the calculated unveiling of success. As the world buzzes over his triumphs, Crawford is building something greater, a fortress befitting his moniker, ‘The King.’

Inside Terence Crawford’s mansion-to-be

Transitioning from the reverberating echoes of the ring to the hushed awe of grandeur, Terence Crawford’s latest reveal echoes his monumental rise. The caption, simple yet grandiose, “The palace at Chateau Crawford’s coming soon…,” sets the stage for an opulent future. The photo captures the entrance to his impending mansion—a narrow path leading to regality, with twin staircases framing the way to an abode designed for boxing royalty.

The reactions are immediate and telling, a cascade of admiration and wit, reflective of Crawford’s recent triumphs. One fan marries humor with respect, jesting, “That boy fried that fish & start building mansions,” a nod to Crawford’s mastery over Spence Jr. in the ring. Another person’s commendation is succinct, reinforcing the sentiment with, “Well deserved my guy.” The tone shifts with one user’s toast to prosperity, “WHEN U PLAY GOOD THEY PAY GOOD….,” drawing a direct line between Crawford’s victories and his wealth.

Meanwhile, one person spotlights the design, “love the narrow entrance with the two staircase coming from the sides”. And the local support beams through one fan’s prideful proclamation, “NEW CASTLE FOR THE KING OF OMAHA!!!!,” cementing Crawford’s place as a hometown hero.

Crawford celebrates his sons’ sporting triumphs

Terence Bud Crawford

In a touching showcase of paternal pride, Terence Crawford, the welterweight maestro, turned the spotlight from his own accolades to the budding achievements of his sons. Through his Instagram stories, Crawford shared a glimpse into the very tournament that had his sons following in his formidable footsteps. The stories featured Terence Crawford Jr., beaming with medals and mementos of victory, earning a heartfelt “Number two, good job, son” from the champion.

While it remained a mystery whether the second triumphant boy was T. Bud Crawford or Tyrese Crawford, the pride in ‘Bud’s’ congratulatory note was unmistakable. This display of familial pride comes on the heels of viral clips showcasing Crawford’s own wrestling prowess. Further solidifying the Crawford name in the annals of combat sports.

With his new mansion in place and his both sons doing great in their field, Terence Crawford is really winning at life. All these accomplishments tend to overshadow each other. With Errol Spence triggering the rematch clause, who do you see winning the second match?

Canelo Alvarez wants to pump the breaks on Terence Crawford and his resume.

Earlier this summer, ‘Bud’ made history against Errol Spence Jr. In their Showtime pay-per-view main event, he dominated ‘The Truth’ winning by ninth-round stoppage. With the victory, he became the first undisputed welterweight champion in the four-belt era.

Furthermore, he also became the first male boxer to become undisputed in a second weight class. In the weeks since his win, Crawford has made it clear that he’s not done there. He’s already set his sights on the winner of Canelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo, slated for later this month.

For his part, the Mexican boxer discussed the potential bout in a recent interview with TMZ Sports. There, Canelo Alvarez paid respect to Terence Crawford, praising him for his recent win. However, he also took a bit of aim at his resume.

In the super-middleweight champion’s eyes, that win over Spence Jr. is one of only a few major ones for Crawford. In the interview, Alvarez opined:

It’s what every boxer fears most.

It’s not a knockout punch. It’s not a defeat. It’s not a broken bone. It most likely is not even losing a world title. Every boxer fears the low blow more than anything – and Amir Khan took one from Terence Crawford, one of the deadliest and most brutal knockout artists in the sport’s history.

In 2019, Khan lost to the still unbeaten American after he was caught with a stomach churning low blow. Despite being afforded a full five minutes to recover, his trainer ended the contest in the sixth round, affording Crawford a TKO victory.

Khan was peppered with criticism, despite taking a stiff left hand to the groin. To put this into perspective, Crawford currently commands a 40-0 record with 31 TKO victories. The Brit took one of his most ferocious punches directly in the zone all men fear most.

Terence Bud Crawford

If you are one of those with the gumption to criticise the former unified lightweight world champion, have a read of his description of the pain and the condition of his special place.

“You know when I met him, he even said to me: ‘you were tough enough to stand back up after that,’ because he knew,” Khan said in an exclusive interview with Daily Star Sport, while speaking on behalf of Wow Hydrate. “Obviously, we’ve become friends after that.

 

Not many fans, fighters or pundits gave Francis Ngannou much of a shot when he announced his pro boxing debut would be against undefeated two-time heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.

In fact, the general narrative was that Fury could end the bout as and when he pleased.

Eddie Hearn, Devin Haney and Terence Crawford all gave the former UFC champ no hope of springing the upset, with Crawford in particular saying he had ‘zero’ chance.

Ngannou not only made it the ten-round distance and boxed impressively, but he knocked Fury down in the third round. He left the ring as moral victor, but missed out on the official win via a split decision in favour of the Brit.

Tyson Fury and Francis Nnanganou

He has since mocked the three predictions mentioned above.

‘Bud’ Crawford – undisputed at welterweight and widely considered as the best fighter in the world – has now shared his verdict on social media, saying that his prediction was right but giving brief props to Ngannou.

Ngannou now finds himself a man in demand on the heavyweight scene. He has been called out by Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder and Derek Chisora just one week on from the fight.

With an MMA contract with the Professional Fighters League already signed, there’s a chance that he may not stick around the squared circle straightaway, but there’s no doubt he’ll be back.

The 37-year-old has made clear that the fight atop his own wish-list is a rematch with Tyson Fury.

It would be tough for some to fathom. The pound-for-pound best boxer in the world, a technical wizard, is equally adept at wrestling. Recently, a few videos of Terence Crawford dabbling in carefree wrestling jaunts stunned scores of fans and followers. The undefeated champion created history this year. He defeated long-time rival Errol Spence Jr. on July 29, becoming the first male two-division undisputed champion.

He comes from a family of wrestlers. His grandfather, father, and uncles were all involved with the sport. As it appears, continuing with the family’s tradition, his sons too seem to have taken to the game of grappling. The proud father that he is, Terence Crawford couldn’t help but take everyone through his moment of happiness. He shared the good news of his sons’ recent success in wrestling with the world.

Terence Crawford, pleased as punch!

Taking to his Instagram stories, the Welterweight champion first shared a short clip showing the venue where the tournament took place. Then the following stories had photographs of his sons, both standing with their mementos and medals, the first one had Terence Crawford Jr. It’s not clear whether the second picture had T. Bud Crawford or Tyrese Crawford standing. Congratulating his son, ‘Bud’ wrote, “Number two, good job, son.

Terence

A few months ago, clips of Terence Crawford displaying peerless wrestling skills gained considerable traction on social media. In August, @parrypunch shared clips of the boxing champion grappling with a member of Kazakhstan’s national wrestling team. Though the video is almost a year old, the Instagram post garnered over sixty thousand likes. The message read, “The grappling skills of undisputed Welterweight Champion Terence Crawford are on point.

As far as the squared circle is concerned, it’s still not clear against whom Terence Crawford would be going up next.

‘Bud’ at the Crossroads

Soon after the big fight with Spence Jr., speaking across multiple podcast studios, the Nebraskan expressed a keen interest in pursuing a match with either Canelo Alvarez or Jermell Charlo. Then, in between, there were talks of a face-off with Gervonta Davis. But Crawford clarified that it is not going to happen until the Baltimorean climbs to 147 pounds. In the meantime, new developments occurred.

By September, Errol Spence Jr. had invoked the rematch clause, which was part of their initial fight’s terms. On the other hand, Charlo suffered defeat at the hands of Alvarez on September 30. So technically, it boils down to two choices for Terence Crawford: go with the rematch or follow up with the undisputed Super Middleweight Champion. However, several experts have voiced concern about whether climbing three divisions up would be such a prudent decision for ‘Bud.’ Anyhow, if nothing else, he could always go back and pursue other divisional challengers.

Given his prowess in wrestling, should Terence Crawford give MMA a chance? Please share your views with us in the comments below.

Terence Crawford can be ferocious both in and out of the ring.

The undisputed welterweight world champion dominated and stopped Errol Spence to unify all four belts in July and crowned himself as boxing’s pound-for-pound king in the process.

The result was tough to take for Spence, but perhaps even tougher for some of his fans on social media.

Five years of build-up came to a head on July 29, when Crawford silenced all of his critics.

Among these doubters was loyal Spence fan Ray Jackson, who to this day still continues to post jokey tweets about how he refuses to give the victor any credit.

On Friday, Jackson began by quote-tweeting a video suggesting Crawford used illicit hand wraps in the Spence fight

He said: “This is why I don’t give Crawford credit for the Spence win. Tim Bradley even called this BS out.”

Crawford ruthlessly replied: “Yo momma give me all the credit for you coming outta my nutsack though.

“She just mad at me because I told her you wasn’t mines because she was out there heavy in the streets I found out. So she kept you away from me son I’m sorry it wasn’t my fault she did it, ask her.”

The thread then exploded with numerous replies from other boxing fans.

Canelo Alvarez’s undisputed triumph over Jermell Charlo on Saturday immediately put Canelo as the belle of the ball again and everyone wanted to dance with him, including Terence Crawford who would have to jump 3 weight classes to face the undisputed middleweight champion of the world.

Terence Crawford went to the Canelo vs. Charlo fight to witness firsthand how his would-be opponent moves, to study and even enjoy a show, after the match he was seemingly disappointed by Charlo’s performance and even made a series of tweets about it.

Fighting Crawford is not the plan according to Canelo

Crawford mentioned that he was willing to do what it takes to fight Canelo, including jumping three divisions to have a legacy-defining fight against the undisputed champion, however, Canelo was quick to respond “I always say if a fight makes sense, why not? But he is not in the plan.”

Terence Bud Crawford

At this point it is too early to determine who Canelo will fight next, as both Benavides and Bivol sound plausible, meanwhile, Bud Crawford is in negotiations to honor a rematch with Errol Spence Jr. on April.

Whatever his intentions are, Terence Crawford is closer to fighting Jermell Charlo than Canelo, as many pundits believe that it would also be good to see Crawford jump fewer weight classes to meet the so-called ‘lion’ and try to make him look like a “cub“.

At the end of the match, Canelo was proud of his accomplishments, “I love you guys. I love my family, my friends who come to support me. Thank you so much. I’m a strong fighter all the time. This Canelo, nobody can beat this Canelo. He’s a great fighter, he knows how to move in the ring. We worked on [going to the body.] For three months without my family, without everything. But I still love boxing. I love boxing so f***ing much. Boxing is my life. Boxing makes me the person I am today.”

The Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford fight would definitely attract a lot of attention and would be a great event for the boxing world, so the arrangement would seem imminent. However, Canelo Alvarez, the current undisputed champion in the super middleweight division, considers that he is still a step above ‘Bud’, despite the impressive demonstration he gave just a few weeks ago, destroying Errol Spence.

Speaking to TMZ Sports, Canelo said that Crawford “is a great fighter,” with the caveat that only Spence is a big name on the fighter’s world card.

Canelo added, “As I always said, I respect Crawford. He’s a very talented fighter, but he just won one big fight. If you look at his record, he just beat a good fighter, like Errol Spence. Other than that, I don’t think he’s beaten any other great fighters. He did a very good job against Spence, he made him look very easy, but I already knew that Terence Crawford is a great fighter.”

When could Canelo and Terence Crawford face each other?

Canelo acknowledged that it is possible to arrange a fight against Bud, once he gets over the fight he has on the door for next September 30 against Jermell Charlo in Las Vegas, although he warned that the weight difference between the two could be a complication.

“In boxing, you never know, and we’ll see in the future. Right now, I’m 100 percent focused on Jermell, but we’ll see in the future, if the fight makes sense, why not?,” said Canelo.

He added: “I respect Crawford, he’s a great fighter. I always say it, I won’t disrespect him, but it’s a little crazy that people criticize me for facing a fighter who is supposed to be smaller like (Jermell) Charlo, and now everyone is asking me if I’m going to fight (Terence) Crawford, a 147-pound fighter, who is even smaller than Charlo.”

When Errol Spence Jr. squared off against Terence Crawford in July this year, ‘Bud’ completely dismantled ‘The Truth’. In addition to being more active, Crawford landed some significant and accurate shots on Errol that found the latter in a fix. Eventually, with his ruthless power and technical intelligence, ‘Bud’ wobbled and stopped Spence Jr. in the ring.

Despite being shockingly outboxed, as per the latest updates, Errol Spence Jr. exercised his contractual right and asked for a rematch at 154lbs. At this, although several entities lauded Spence Jr.’s warrior spirit, they hoped he would consider retirement given the magnitude of the injuries he sustained in life. In this context, while the boxing world contemplated the potential outcome of Spence Jr. vs. ‘Bud,’ recently an X user accused Crawford of cheating against ‘The Truth.’

Terence Crawford

Fans frustrated as a random user states Terence Crawford wrapped his hands illegally against Errol Spence Jr.

According to a random user, Terence Crawford put tape directly on the skin. In their opinion, it is an illegal method of intensifying his punching power. At this, while the user accused Crawford of cheating, several fans objected to the shared brief clip. Here is what they are saying:

According to one, since it has been four months, people should move on. In this context, they added, “Spence got washed“.
