Terence Crawford on why he spoke out following Ilia Topuria's loss to Justin Gaethje:
"I didn't know who he was until he came out saying he would knock me and Canelo out, and I'm like, 'Who's this guy?'
This is the guy that everybody talked about... Everybody's saying he got this enormous boxing ability, that he can go into boxing and do real well.
So, I'm really tuning in. This is my first time seeing him in a fight. The first impression wasn't the best impression.
For him to come out and say he gonna beat me, one of the best fighters of all time, knocking me out, I think it was a sign of disrespect.
I've been doing boxing since I was 7 years old. There's no way that this guy is gonna come in there and do anything to me that I ain't never seen before. So, seeing him get hit with the jab and the 1-2 the whole fight, I'm like, 'What? What's everybody excited about?'"
@Justiceforjaws@DeezNutzMMA I don't have time for video games. Between Klan meetings, running my plantation, and investing in new ways to expand the privatized prison system, I am absolutely swamped.
