Boxing: Crawford, dinomina si Spence Jr.
Transcript
00:00 In boxing, Terrence Crawford was crowned as the Undisputed Welterweight World Champion this week
00:06 after defeating Errol Spence Jr.
00:09 Let's go back to the action in the story of Rafael Bandariel.
00:12 Terrence Bud Crawford proved that he is the true king of the welterweight division
00:18 after defeating Errol Spence Jr. in the Shamna Rounds.
00:23 Because of this, he was able to win the title as the Undisputed Welterweight Champion of Boxing.
00:29 According to the Filipino-American boxing analyst Ryan Songgalia,
00:34 Crawford's aggressive tactics became effective.
00:37 He switches hits a lot. He switches between orthodox and southpaw.
00:40 But in the fight, he fought exclusively as a southpaw because he knew that Spence is gonna drop his hands.
00:46 And once you get a boxer like Spence going backwards, the fight is essentially over.
00:51 Because Spence is a pressure fighter who pushes forward behind the double jab
00:55 and then likes to rip to the body and then come over the top.
00:58 He had none of that.
00:59 And from what I saw in the first knockdown,
01:02 what that told me was that this guy didn't have his legs the way that he normally does.
01:07 Now, there's no doubt that Bud Crawford is the king of the division.
01:11 According to Songgalia, the Undefeated Interim World Champion, Jaron Ennis, is the next one to take the throne.
01:18 For Terrence Crawford, now, he for a long time had been sort of the other guy in the sport.
01:27 He was never really treated as the star.
01:31 He didn't get the platform that he wanted when he was with Top Rank, for instance.
01:38 Like, you know, yeah, Crawford was a respected fighter among the hardcore fans,
01:43 but Manny Pacquiao was the star.
01:45 So he never got that opportunity.
01:47 Now is the opportunity for Terrence Crawford to make money,
01:51 make the money that he feels he probably should have been making all along.
01:54 And he can fight almost anyone.
01:57 After what they saw last night, people are gonna want to see Terrence Crawford push himself to the limit.
02:02 The biggest challenge for him at 147 pounds is Jaron "Bud" Ennis.
02:09 He's an undefeated fighter.
02:11 After a heavy match-up last week in Las Vegas, Nevada,
02:15 Crawford kept his card clean with a perfect 40 wins with 31 knockouts.
02:22 Meanwhile, this is the first time that Spencer Jr. has been knocked out in his career.
02:28 Rafael Bandayrel, PTV Sports.
