Some just don’t understand how much of Buds strength and tenacity comes from wrestling. Man is a beast!

[MikeThaPhilosopher]

Crawford is absolutely a legend. Love his style. It’s like watching an artist paint a picture

[Jwilli]

I have to hand it to Kavaliauskas, he made it a fight. Lot of courage and heart. Great fight.

[billbellell]

I see Crawford as the number one pound-for-pound fighter on the planet. I am totally enamored with his ability to switch stances without skipping a beat. I have seen him do it in the middle of a combination of punches. Remarkable. He is also the world's best defensive fighter since Mayweather. Hit and do not get hit is his mantra.

[enricoflamingo]

Hats off to Kavaliauskas. What a competitor 🫡

[treydaypnw]

Terence Crawford is a once-in-a-generation type of talent. One of the best the sport has ever seen.

[frankrodriguezit]

Crawford is just poetry in motion when he’s focused ✊🏽

[TimmyTurner]

Mean Machine gave Crawford a harder fight than Porter, Brook and Spence.

[turdington]

Crawford is just an absolute beast at welter.

[blackezi]

I remember watching this fight, and thinking Bud Crawford is a f*cking lunatic lol. Abandoned his gameplan to make this an all out brawl. Willing to trade with Mean Machine and give off that maniacal smile while doing it lol

[bettancurttshipahu]

Arguably one of the best boxers of all time.👌

[typarker]

Since people wanna talk about it;Let’s say he did knock Bud down.. That man got back up and showed y’all why HE IS WHO HE IS 🔥🙆🏾‍♂️🥊

That man footwork and placement of cutting the ring off is phenomenal!;Especially with him having knockout power IN BOTH HANDS 🎯

[alexandermendez]

That was a knockdown. Im a Crawford fan and can admit that.

[SyvilMedia]

To be able to switch to orthodox and be effective is such a master level move. 9th round Crawford still had footwork into his uppercut and it was incredible as if he didn't lose any energy fighting southpaw

[josephobenauer]

These "announcers" will never understand Bud Crawford. He sleepwalks through the first three rounds. He is mapping a strategy. Sometimes he gets tagged, but for this great fighter, if he gets tagged, it just revs his engine. One of the best I have ever seen.

[cashcali]

I find it fascinating that the commentators are like “omg, Crawford got hit”..it’s a fight..that’s to be expected. Bud is having a ball out there. This shiz is what he loves!! Respect to both fighters.

[eaglesfan]

Man time flies. Me and my dad went to this fight and I remember battling with LDBC fanboys talking about how Spence would dog walk Crawford because he never fought anyone on the PBC and if Mean Machine hurt him, what do you think Spence would do. Man that didn't age well.

[kenilworthkeith]

Crawford🔥🔥🔥🔥dat combo and sneaky up🦾at the end🔥🔥 great fight from both💯💯

[SacredGusto]

We were having a ball until Mr. "Desert Storm" Bradley started yelling in everyone's ears.

[rickyt]

That aggressiveness from Crawford in the beginning helped him to time his opponent better in the pocket where the opponent will always stay. Kaval is keeping his pace the same so Crawford had to turn it up to really get Kavals timing down.
