History in the creation: Terenca “Bud” Crawford

The months have changed in weeks, and weeks have changed to days, and now the waiting has come to an end, because the undisputed world champion of Saul “Canelo” Alvarez is to defend his crown against the undefeated pretender of Terenka “Bud” Crawford.

Alvarez and Crawford are two highly qualified boxers, whose names were devices at the top of the pounds list for pounds. This very awaited fight for the title of champion will take place on Saturday evening, September 13 at the Allegant stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, emitted live in Netflix.

About two years ago, 36-year-old Terenka Crawford stated that he was not interested in fighting Canelo Alvarez. At that time, Crawford said that his age and the need to move up many weight activities were the reason why the fight was not interested in.

At this particular time when Crawford made a statement, he was already known as one of the best boxers in the world. Crawford was an invincible multiple world champion who built an impressive heritage.

Crush from Omah in the state of Nebraska, Crawford debuted in boxing in March 2008, when he stopped Brian Cummings in the first round. After breaking 22 additional wins, Crawford was able to fight for the gold championship.

In March 2014, Crawford went to Glasgow in Scotland and defeated Ricky Burns in a unanimous decision. Crawford won the lightweight WBO title with the victory of Terenka.

After two successful title defenses, Terenka Crawford was promoted, defeated Thomas Dulorme through the sixth round and won the empty title of WBO Junior-Welterwagth champion. A year later, Crawford became a united champion when he developed Viktor Postol and won the free WBC belt.

Crawford would conquer the 140-pound division when he detained the WBA/IBF champion Julius Indongo in the third round. Within two years, Crawford collected all four lanes and distinguished himself with the undisputed world champion of juniors.

After the undisputed, Crawford was promoted, detained Jeff Horn in the 9th round and won the WBO World Wytreight. Crawford began to defend his title and defeat significant opponents, such as Amir Khan, Kell Brook and Shawn Porter.

Then Crawford participated in the order in a mega fight, which lasted five years. On July 29, 2023, Terenka Crawford entered the square circle to face the then WBA WBA, WBC, IBF Errol Spence Jr. IBF World Champion.

The expected fight of the year quickly moved to one -sided romance. Crawford knocked down Spence once in the second and twice in the seventh round. Crawford dominated in the 9th round as long as the judge came in and stopped in the competition.

As a result of dismantling his rival, Terenka Crawford became a ambiguous world champion. A few months after the fight of Spence Crawford, he was asked about a great fight with Canelo, and he verbalized his lack of interest from the weight factor.

After taking part in the fight Canelo vs Munguia and watching the Canelo performance live, Crawford changed his heart. Now Terenca “Bud” Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) is ready to face the biggest challenge in its career.

Terenka Crawford is a great example of a certified Ring technique. Is a switch that has all the tools. Considering this, three Crawford assets that distinguish him from others are his level of time, accuracy and IQ ring.

Crawford changed his run in relation to the fight against Canelo, because after watching live with Canelo he saw some things that made him believe that he could win. After watching Canelo vs Munguia Crawford felt that if he were in the ring, he would have taken advantage of many possibilities.

On Saturday evening, September 13, Terenka “Bud” Crawford will have the chance to take advantage of these possibilities. If Crawford is able to effectively employ his set of skills, distance of control and boxes outside, I will stop the face of boxing and create a history, becoming a three -name in the unquestioned world champion.

Paulie Malignaggis Insightful Verdict on Manny Pacquiao vs Shakur Stevenson Fight

Paulie Malignaggi's Insightful Verdict on Manny Pacquiao vs Shakur Stevenson Fight

Paulie Malignaggi has offered his reaction to a reported clash between Shakur Stevenson and Manny Pacquiaowhich could feature on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua.

The all-British heavyweight showdown is expected to take place on December 11, headlining an event at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium.

That is, of course, if Fury and Joshua actually make it to the ring, as despite it being announced earlier this week, The Ring’s Mike Coppinger has since reported that their fight is in jeopardy.

Prior to that, it had emerged that an encounter between Stevenson and Pacquiao – between whom there is a near two-decade age gap – was being planned for the same night in Wales.

Should it come to fruition, this would represent Stevenson’s first outing since signing with Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing, who he joined after dethroning Teofimo Lopez with a unanimous decision victory in January.

Pacquiao, meanwhile, has not fought since his draw with Mario Barrios in July 2025, when he ended a near four-year layoff and almost claimed the WBC welterweight title.

Yet despite that surprisingly impressive performance, former world champion Malignaggi has emphasised on his YouTube channel that, against Stevenson, the 47-year-old would be facing an entirely different competitor.

“Manny Pacquiao-Shakur Stevenson has no place on this card; [it] has no place in big-time boxing. I am completely befuddled.

“[I’m] disappointed in Stevenson; [I’m] disappointed in Zuffa, obviously. These are ‘click bait’ type of fights. These are names that draw attention, so you can get people to watch. Then the fight’s a dud and all these casuals sit there complaining about boxing, telling you why boxing’s dead.”

Malignaggi went on to credit Pacquiao with being “competitive against the worst world champion I’ve ever seen in my life”, emphasising a considerable difference between Barrios and Stevenson.
