Decorated with his exorbitant Belt Ring trophy worth $ 188,000, Terenka Crawford took part in the parade in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska, celebrating his victory over the Mexican star of Canelo Alvarez on September 13, 2025.
Critics say that the $ 188,000 ring belt means nothing
Crawford can keep a valuable golden belt of the ring as a souvenir, even if it is deprived of its undisputed super -medium weight, dismissals or was beaten. This is typical type Belt, celebrating victory over 35-year-old Canelo.
Fans perceive victory at the ring of $ 188,000 Crawford as senseless, because Alvarez is a faded warrior who kept his place, avoiding sharks. As such, the exorbitant Crawford trophy worth USD 188,000 is superficial.
Donut He was maneuted in place; He did not earn it, fighting the best pretenders who probably threw him out. In other words, they perceive Crawford as a person who was placed in this position without having to earn it. It is like a puppet placed in this place, he looks like a false, pretender sitting on the throne.
Crawford (42-0, 13 KO) captured the undisputed belt of the Canelo average championship, defeating it by 12-round unanimous results of 115-113, 115-113 and 116-112.
Critics say Crawford avoids pretenders to the tops
I believe that the chances that Crawford was sticking to four lanes in 168, they are slim and may only be possible if it is carefully matched, Avoiding pretenders to the tops The way many believe that Canelo did to keep their titles. If Crawford faces such as David Benavidez, Christian Mbilli, Lester Martinez or Oslyys Iglesias, in my opinion it is doubtful that he will win.
In today’s interview before the parade in Omaha Crawford, it sounded bitter that he did not receive full recognition from fans and the media, arguing that they justify why Canelo lost the fight, seeing him as washed. “When you are so wonderful And you are so ahead of your competition – said Crawford.
Omaha Parade cannot erase close results cards
For the album, The fight of Canelo-Crawford was closed with a razor, and Terenka has worked little for eight rounds, making gigantic arrows from a more aggressive Canelo and only in the last four rounds from 9 to 12 to draw victory.
Crawford’s performance was nothing else, however, unless you look at it from an inverted perspective, perceiving delicate as “great”. It was not a remotely impressive performance of Crawford, which looked antique and barely better than sprayed Canelo.
In many respects their comments are significant. Alvarez was close to losing the last fight with one of the results cards of judges against William Scull at the beginning of this year on May 3, 2025.
Fans refuse to assign Crawford’s delayed career
“Many people change their narrative:” We are currently observing something wonderful. this division, No. 1. media Today, arguing that he is praised by fans until the end of his career after defeating Canelo Alvarez.
“The way I dealt with it had to be wrong. Canelo had to be washed, or Canelo wasn’t there,” said Bud Crawford about fans who discredit him for winning over 35-year-old Canelo.
Hardcore boxing fans who follow sport do not give Crawford a loan because they do not recognize Canelo for the best warrior in the 168 pounds league. They believe that the Mexican star has been washed since its unilateral 12-round unanimous decision-making loss for Dmitry Bivol on May 7, 2022.
Canelo artificially retained his place No. 1
Fans notice that Alvarez had artificially retained his place No. 1 In the super medium medium ward, twisting all fighters at a high level who would potentially beat him. Instead of Canelo, fighting the best, he defended his titles about super medium weight against these warriors:
Jaime Mungia
William Scull
John Ryder
Edgar Berlanga
Gennadiy Golovkin: [Note: GGG was 40]
Canelo did not fight the real best guys in the division for the three years preceding the title defense against Terenka Crawford on September 13, 2025.
For any reason, Alvarez decided not to defend pretenders to Apex 168-LB, such as David Benavidez and David Morrell, while they still conducted a campaign in Super Middle Libra. Canelo maintained his place as the King of the Division, twisting the sharks that would take his crown.
Fighters in 168, which Canelo does not fight, which could beat him many times, come from this group:
David Benavidez
David Morrell
Christian Milli
Lester Martinez
Oslyys Iglesias
Diego Pacheco
“I see how people say that Turks paid Canelo for a defeat. I think that when you are much better than the competition, people do not give you recognition until you sit down and you will not look at it and they just say:” This guy was good, “said Crawford.

Terence Crawford believes one man will follow in his footsteps and retire as an unbeaten world champion, essentially becoming a generational great in the process.
‘Bud’ became not only a world champion but a three-division undisputed king, ending his career with a legacy-defining unanimous decision triumph over Canelo Alvarez.
Even before that, Crawford was considered an elite pound-for-pound operator for over a decade, with many believing his most complete performance came against Errol Spence Jr in 2023.
But while the American is perhaps in a class of his own, he nonetheless believes that four-division world champion Shakur Stevenson can achieve a similar degree of success.
The 29-year-old claimed a career-best victory in January, losing just one round as he dethroned Teofimo Lopez with a masterful unanimous decision victory.
Having now signed with Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing, though, it remains to be seen whether he defends his WBO super-lightweight title or pursues opportunities elsewhere.
Either way, Crawford has told Fight Hub TV that Stevenson has the mental and physical attributes to remain unbeaten at the highest level.
“I think Shakur [will take over]for sure, Shakur hands down. I think, given the opportunity, he’s going to show the world that he’s the best. His mental, his defense [sets him apart]takes his craft serious. He’s the type of the fighter that you gotta pull out the gym. [Is he beatable?] Not at all. Everybody [is] beatable, but I don’t see nobody beating him.”
Since inking a promotional deal with Zuffa, Stevenson has named Devin Haney and Gervonta Davis as two potential opponents who would cement his greatness.
The slick southpaw could therefore compete anywhere between lightweight and 147lbs, depending on which division offers the most realistic opportunities.
Oleksandr Usyk has shared his reaction to Anthony Joshua‘s dramatic knockout victory against Kristian Prenga.
Usyk nearly suffered his own shock defeat in May when he was pushed to the limit by kickboxing star Rico Verhoevenand two months on it was nrw teammate Joshua’s turn to come close to a massive upset loss that would have stunned the heavyweight division.
The Brit was dropped twice by massive underdog Prenga in the opening round of their clash in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, but ‘AJ’ managed to recover and record a big knockdown of his own in the second round that resulted in the stoppage victory.
Joshua and Usyk now train together, having famously had two battles for the unified world heavyweight title in 2021 and 2022, and the Ukrainian has had his say on his stablemate’s victory over Prenga.
Speaking to TalkSporttwo-time undisputed champion Usyk praised Joshua, insisting ‘AJ is back’ before predicting that Joshua will now claim a knockout win over long-term rival Tyson Fury in his next bout.
“Anthony Joshua is next undisputed champion. First round it’s a test but AJ is back.
It’s boxing, [the] big upper cut is good, it’s a knockdown. AJ [come] back and win.
“Greedy Belly [Fury] will speak now and say weak chin, Greedy Belly get out. AJ wins [against Fury], [he will] knock him out.”
Fury was victorious on Friday as he earned a seventh round retirement win against Mariusz Wach in Thailand, paving the way for the showdown against Joshua later this year.
Jake Paul was the last man to fight Anthony Joshua and he has now revealed his verdict on AJ’s chaotic victory over Kristian Prenga.
Joshua went up against Prenga in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturdayin a clash that was expected to be a comfortable win for the former world heavyweight champion in order to set up the long overdue battle against Tyson Fury.
Any hopes of seeing that clash were nearly ended after AJ was dropped twice in the opening round of the bout, though he was able to recover and claim the second round knockout to come out on top and prevent a stunning shock upset from taking place.
Saturday’s outing saw Joshua back in the ring for the first time since his sixth round triumph over YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul back in Decemberand now ‘The Problem Child’ himself has shared his reaction to his former rival’s victory over Prenga.
Posting on social mediaPaul praised AJ for earning the win, after returning to action following the tragic car crash he was involved in at the end of last year which took the lives of his two close friends.
“Happy for Joshua with that win after all he’s been through. Remembering Sina and Latz with this one.”
Happy for Joshua with that win after all he’s been through.
Remembering Sina and Latz with this one.
— Jake Paul (@jakepaul) July 25, 2026
The win for Joshua should now tee up for meeting with Fury later this year, after ‘The Gypsy King’ held up his end of the bargain by also securing a win in his warm-up bout on Friday, securing a seventh round retirement win against Mariusz Wach.
