Description: Amidst rumors of a possible fight between Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez, find out how David Benavidez might want to get into the mix

Gokul Gopalakrishna Pillai is a Boxing Editor at EssentiallySports. Having spent four years in content creation, he uses his experience to lucidly convey the science behind boxing. Gokul's interest in the sport stemmed from his interest in classic Muhammad Ali bouts and claims Ali Vs. Foreman is the greatest boxing match ever. He loves Canelo Alvarez especially after his knockout victory over James Kirkland in the third round. The hard work that goes into each fight and the story behind it is what attracts him to boxing. When he isn't at work, you can find him being an armchair expert, spending his time watching films and reading books.

After Terence Crawford [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/terence-crawford/] defeated his rival, and Canelo Alvarez [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/canelo-alvarez/] won his recent victory against Charlo, a fight between the two was rumored. Crawford himself proposed the idea of facing the Mexican fighter. However, he demanded that the fight does not happen in the super-middleweight division but at a catchweight. Meanwhile, Alvarez has not given a decisive response to this call-out. However, recently another super-middleweight, David Benavidez, [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/david-benavidez/] weighed in on the possibility of facing Crawford. The “Mexican Monster” competes in the same weight division as Alvarez and may face him very likely, very soon. But would he want to face Crawford? IS CRAWFORD VS. BENAVIDEZ A POSSIBILITY? Think of the potential incentives for Benavidez to face Crawford. One of them is a financial incentive. Another incentive is to prove himself against another great. When asked about this potential match-up, Benavidez had nothing but respect for the American Champion. At the same, his respect does not prevent him from scrapping it out in the ring, and considers it an honor. Reflecting on the same, in an interview with FightHypeTV, he stated, “Yeah, that’ll be dope. I have a lot of respect for Terence Crawford. Just cuz I want a fight, if we were to fight, doesn’t mean we have hard feelings for each other. He is definitely a great fighter. I would love to fight him.” At the end of the day, a fight requires the willingness of both fighters. In this instant case, Benavidez is willing to face the undefeated welterweight champion. So long as Crawford agrees, this fight may be on the cards. However, there is a significant weight disparity between the two which would pose a challenge. DAVID BENAVIDEZ ON THE WEIGHT DISPARITY BETWEEN HIM AND CRAWFORD Crawford competes at a couple of weight divisions below Benavidez. Benavidez would be keener to see Crawford move up in weight, however, only till the junior middleweight division. As a fan, he would like to see him face the champion of the division, Jermell Charlo. In the same interview, he added, “Yea, to be honest, I would love to see him fight Charlo. The one at 154. That would be a great fight. At the end of the day, I’m a fan of boxing and those are the fights I want to see.” Read more: With Weeks Left in the Fight, David Benavidez Details Why Demetrius Andrade Is in “More Danger” Than Caleb Plant in Striking Confession [https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-with-weeks-left-in-the-fight-david-benavidez-details-why-demetrius-andrade-is-in-more-danger-than-caleb-plant-in-striking-confession/] It is safe to say that there is no animosity between Benavidez and Crawford.

David Benavidez?s Net Worth 2023, Career, and Family

<h2 style="text-align: center">David Benavidez: Net Worth 2023</h2>
Phoenix, Arizona-born David Benavidez has participated in twenty-six fights and has not lost any in a career that started in 2013. Most of his initial matches occurred in Tijuana, Mexico, or his hometown Phoenix, Arizona. Barring the few key fights recently, details regarding his earnings from the rest remain hard to find.

[caption id="attachment_569442" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-569442" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210302112643/GettyImages-1171862592.jpg" alt="David Benavidez" width="1920" height="1328" /> LOS ANGELES, CA - SEPTEMBER 28: David Benavidez (red/green trunks) reacts after defeating Anthony Dirrell (not in frame) after a corner stoppage in their WBC Super Middleweight Championship fight at Staples Center on September 28, 2019 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Jayne Kamin-Oncea/Getty Images)[/caption]

Hence, perusing multiple portals to gauge his net worth, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-david-benavidez-net-worth-how-much-does-he-make-per-fight/">without endorsements or bonuses, puts it near $2 to $5 million</a>.

Some crucial matches that rewarded him handsomely include the first bout against Ronald Gavril in September 2017, for which he took home nearly $400k. Then again, two years later, the match against Anthony Dirrell that fetched his second world title made him richer by $1 million.?

Last year, for the bout in May against Canadian boxer David Lemieux, Benavidez reportedly received $350k and 60% of the earnings made through PPV sales.

There?s still a lack of details on the David Benavidez - approved services and goods. Nonetheless, in 2018, he was offered a sponsorship deal by renowned boxing promoter Bob Arum?s Top Rank, and he initially signed on the dotted line for $250k after agreeing to the proposal. Nevertheless, he changed his mind, refunded the cash, and canceled the deal.

Benavidez reportedly has some stakes in the clothing business. He sells his line of products, including tees, sweatpants, caps, and more, that appeal to fans of all ages. However, it remains futile to ascertain the true worth of his merchandise venture.
<h2 style="text-align: center">David Benavidez?s childhood and early life</h2>
David Benavidez was born on December 17, 1996, in Phoenix, Arizona, to a Mexican father and mother with Ecuadorian and Dominican ancestry. Details regarding his mother remain unavailable. However, per available sources, his parents divorced when David and his elder brother Jose Benavidez Jr. were young.

Jose Benavidez Sr.'s father came from Mexico, where he lived in poverty. At age eleven, he went to the U.S. He worked through the streets in California, eventually settling with his family in Arizona.

Just like his elder brother Jose Benavidez Jr. David picked up the nuances of boxing from his father, who left his hotel job to become a full-time boxing trainer. Their father said young David would watch videos of greats like Marco Antonio Barrera, ?Prince? Naseem Hamed, and Roy Jones Jr.?

He would wake up for early morning jogs. From age eight, he started participating in amateur tournaments. However, their parents' separation resulted in David and his sister living with their mother, while Jose Benavidez Jr. went along with their father.?

Without his father?s supervision, David Benavidez started passing his time binging on food and putting on weight. By age twelve, he weighed around 260 lbs. However, things changed when he eventually moved to Los Angeles in 2010 to pick up boxing from where he had left.?

[caption id="attachment_569436" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-569436" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210302112435/GettyImages-1170869462.jpg" alt="David Benavidez" width="1920" height="1444" /> LOS ANGELES, CA - SEPTEMBER 24: Fighter David Benavidez in the ring during a media workout at LA Live on September 24, 2019 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Jayne Kamin-Oncea/Getty Images)[/caption]

Jose Benavidez Sr. and his sons are proud of their Mexican heritage. He said, ?I grew up watching Oscar De La Hoya fight on Mexican Independence Day.? Though usually associated with countries like the U.S.A., Britain, or Russia, Boxing remains hugely popular in Mexico.?

The country has consistently produced first-rate boxers from Oscar De La Hoya, Julio Cesar Chavez, Erik Morales, Canelo Alvarez, and many others. David Benavidez epitomizes the Mexican boxing style, characterized by sheer aggression. Recently, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-what-role-does-david-benavidezs-brother-jose-benavidez-jr-play-in-michael-b-jordans-creed-iii/">Jose Benavidez Jr. appeared in the latest edition of the Creed franchise, Creed III</a>.
<h2 style="text-align: center">David Benavidez?s family</h2>
Together since 2019, David Benavidez and his wife Karina Silva are proud parents to Anthony Benavidez. Silva reportedly has dabbled in modeling and is a social media influencer as well.?

She is also an entrepreneur based out of Seattle, Washington state. So far, she has launched two businesses, the brick-and-mortar ?Dress In Love? store and an internet outlet called ?The Shoe Closet.?

Her Instagram page also alludes to a company called ?Nudes by Karina,? which claims to sell ?premium shapewear.?

David Benavidez?s elder brother Jose Benavidez Jr. was born in Panorama City, California, on May 15, 1992. He took to boxing at age two or three. Later, he won eleven national championships, including the Silver Gloves twice. He also competed at the national Junior Olympics and was selected by the U.S. national team.?

At age sixteen, Benavidez Jr. became the youngest Golden Gloves champion, winning in the Light Welterweight division. His amateur record stands at one hundred and twenty wins against only five losses. He turned professional in 2010 and became the WBA (Interim) Light Welterweight champion in 2014. His professional record stands at twenty-seven wins against two losses.?

<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-is-david-benavidez-married-wife-girlfriends-and-other-details/">His son Anthony is just two years old</a>. Hence it is too early to predict whether he will follow in his father?s footsteps or carry on the family boxing legacy. However, in videos uploaded on YouTube, he could be seen punching a bag.?
<h2 style="text-align: center">David Benavidez?s boxing career</h2>
Jose Benavidez Sr. introduced his younger son, David, to boxing when he was three. By the time he was eight, the latter had started winning amateur bouts. Unfortunately, his parents? separation proved detrimental to his progress.

Living with his mother and sister, David Benavidez took to wrong food habits. As a result, by turning twelve, he weighed nearly 250 - 260 lbs. However, he decided to take a stand. At age thirteen, overweight, he relocated to Los Angeles to be with his father and elder brother and, more importantly, get wholly invested in boxing.

His amateur record stands at fifteen wins against nil losses. On August 17, 2013, barely sixteen, Benavidez knocked out Erasmo Mendoza in the first round of his professional debut. Two years later, he won his first title NABF Junior Light Heavyweight.

On September 8, 2017, he scored a split decision victory over Romanian boxer Ronald Gavril and became the WBC (Vacant) Super Middleweight title holder. A few months later, he repeated the feat against Gavril and defended his title.?

His next big break came on September 28, 2019, when he defeated Anthony Dirrell to win his second world title WBC Super Middleweight. Though he breached the weight limits and, as a result, parted with the belt, he still defeated Roamer Alexis Angulo on August 15, 2020.?

[caption id="attachment_569440" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-569440" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210302112559/GettyImages-632954260.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1277" /> LAS VEGAS, NV - JANUARY 28: Referee Russell Mora (L) poses with David Benavidez after Benavidez defeated Sherali Mamajonov in a super middleweight fight at MGM Grand Garden Arena on January 28, 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Benavidez won the fight with a second-round TKO. (Photo by Steve Marcus/Getty Images)[/caption]

During the next three fights, he knocked down all the opponents, which included the bout against David Lemieux that fetched his third title, WBC (Vacant) Interim Super Middleweight.
<h2 style="text-align: center">David Benavidez?s signature boxing techniques</h2>
By all accounts, it?s clear that David Benavidez is a classic swarmer who prefers pushing his opponents to either a corner or the ropes and then unleashing heavy punches pulverizing their defenses.?

Combination Puncher:

Benavidez pushes the opponents towards the ropes in one of his signature moves. Once trapped, he lets loose a volley of devastating shots to the head or body, one after the other. The technique is highly effective since it confuses the opponent as to which shot will come next. But it also compels him into a more defensive approach that could lead to more mistakes.

Hard Body Hitter:

He usually throws a lot of angular hooks and uppercuts on the body that invariable forces the foe to let the guards down. He has often proven that apart from relying on sheer strength, he can be lightning-fast.? So he quickly follows it up with headshots.

Aggressive boxing style:

David Banvidez uses a high guard to protect his face. However, the technique is also proper where the foe, considering it an advantage, goes for an attack and throws several unnecessary shots, most of which land on Benavidez?s gloves or forearms.?

Then with a fast catch counter, he takes the opponent by surprise. Once the latter is hurt, Benavidez applies more pressure until the challenger capitulates.?

An amalgamation of Speed and power:

Many accuse David Benavidez of relying on his strength alone. However, a careful study of his past fights reveals that it's not the case. He does use his inherent power but ensures that it connects with the foe in the fastest possible way. Opponents barely get any time to think that way.

[caption id="attachment_824707" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-824707" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-632954264.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1256" /> LAS VEGAS, NV - JANUARY 28: David Benavidez (L) punches Sherali Mamajonov during the second round of their super middleweight fight at MGM Grand Garden Arena on January 28, 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Benavidez won the fight with a second-round TKO. (Photo by Steve Marcus/Getty Images)[/caption]

Strong foothold:

David Benavidez uses the regular tall up-right stance while facing the foe. However, he is known to be flexible with his stance rather than staying put. He doesn't lose his balance and moves with the shoulder. If the opponent pushes with combinations, Benavidez can move backward by putting weight on his hind leg.
<h2 style="text-align: center">David Benavidez?s car collection and other luxuries</h2>
Reportedly, David Benavidez owns not one but two extremely impressive automobiles. One is a Tesla, and the other one is a BMW X5. He appears to have a penchant for SUVs and sports cars alike. However, unlike cars, there?s not much public information available regarding motorbikes or, for that matter, whether he owns one or not.

But other reports claim that he owns a Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster worth $960,000 and a Ferrari SF90 Stradale, which comes at $1.5 million.?

Benavidez resides in his spacious abode in Arizona. The property is spacious, with a waiting area and a games room. He reportedly hosts many pool parties at his house for his friends. But a public estimate of the property?s value is not available.
<h2 style="text-align: center">David Benavidez's gym altercation with Caleb Plant</h2>
The world could sense bitterness between Caleb Plant and David Benavidez right from the outset during their first press conference. However, the foundation of the bitter feud between the two goes back a couple of years.

While the Benavidez camp squarely lays the blame on Plant for his sheer jealousy over David?s progress. Plant, on the other hand, blames Benavidez Sr. for unnecessarily taking his late daughter?s name.

Amidst the claims and counter-claims, things took a different turn when David Benavidez, accompanied by his elder brother and a few friends, confronted Caleb Plant in a gym where he was training.

From arguments to pushing and shoving, things went for a toss when Plant took a shot at Jose Benavidez Jr. Then a free-for-all followed, but before it could escalate, intervention by others seems to have brought it down.
<h2 style="text-align: center">David Benavidez's cocaine controversy</h2>
Soon after he defended his WBC Super Middleweight title from Ronald Gavril?s challenge, David Benavidez tested positive for benzoylecgonine, the active element in cocaine.?

[caption id="attachment_824710" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-824710" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-586320836.jpg" alt="David Benavidez" width="1920" height="1280" /> PHILADELPHIA, PA - AUGUST 05: David Benavidez celebrates after defeating Denis Douglin during a super middleweight fight at 2300 Arena on August 5, 2016 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Alex Goodlett/Getty Images)[/caption]

A random test performed by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) as part of WBC?s Clean Boxing Program revealed that Benavidez tested positive for the drug.

The WBC, as a result, stripped him of his title and suspended him till February 2019. Later, on December 19, 2018, news came that Benavidez would return to the ring on March 16, 2019.
<h2 style="text-align: center">David Benavidez's beef with Canelo Alvarez</h2>
It?s not that David Benavidez enjoys friendly relations with the reigning Super Middleweight supremo Canelo Alvarez despite the latter hailing from the country from where his father came.

On his part, Benavidez has always wondered why he hasn?t been allowed to fight Canelo Alvarez, even though he has already proven to be worthy of facing the Mexican in the ring.

On the other corner, Canelo has made it clear that he does not want to face Benavidez because of his apparent lack of experience against top-ranking fighters.

Benavidez once told ?The Last Stand,? "I been winning title eliminators, I just won an interim title. I feel like a lot of people now don't respect the boxing ranks. If you don't respect the boxing ranks, what are the boxing ranks for?"

Thus, Benavidez believes Canelo is reluctant to fight him because the former poses a significant challenge to the Mexican?s dominance in the division.

He has often proven that apart from relying on sheer strength, he can be lightning-fast.? So he quickly follows it up with headshots. Aggressive boxing style: David Banvidez uses a high guard to protect his face. However, the technique is also proper where the foe, considering it an advantage, goes for an attack and throws several unnecessary shots, most of which land on Benavidez?s gloves or forearms.? Then with a fast catch counter, he takes the opponent by surprise. Once the latter is hurt, Benavidez applies more pressure until the challenger capitulates.? An amalgamation of Speed and power: Many accuse David Benavidez of relying on his strength alone. However, a careful study of his past fights reveals that it&#8217;s not the case. He does use his inherent power but ensures that it connects with the foe in the fastest possible way. Opponents barely get any time to think that way. LAS VEGAS, NV &#8211; JANUARY 28: David Benavidez (L) punches Sherali Mamajonov during the second round of their super middleweight fight at MGM Grand Garden Arena on January 28, 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Benavidez won the fight with a second-round TKO. (Photo by Steve Marcus/Getty Images) Strong foothold: David Benavidez uses the regular tall up-right stance while facing the foe. However, he is known to be flexible with his stance rather than staying put. He doesn&#8217;t lose his balance and moves with the shoulder. If the opponent pushes with combinations, Benavidez can move backward by putting weight on his hind leg. David Benavidez?s car collection and other luxuries Reportedly, David Benavidez owns not one but two extremely impressive automobiles. One is a Tesla, and the other one is a BMW X5. He appears to have a penchant for SUVs and sports cars alike. However, unlike cars, there?s not much public information available regarding motorbikes or, for that matter, whether he owns one or not. But other reports claim that he owns a Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster worth $960,000 and a Ferrari SF90 Stradale, which comes at $1.5 million.? Benavidez resides in his spacious abode in Arizona. The property is spacious, with a waiting area and a games room. He reportedly hosts many pool parties at his house for his friends. But a public estimate of the property?s value is not available. David Benavidez&#8217;s gym altercation with Caleb Plant The world could sense bitterness between Caleb Plant and David Benavidez right from the outset during their first press conference. However, the foundation of the bitter feud between the two goes back a couple of years. While the Benavidez camp squarely lays the blame on Plant for his sheer jealousy over David?s progress. Plant, on the other hand, blames Benavidez Sr. for unnecessarily taking his late daughter?s name. Amidst the claims and counter-claims, things took a different turn when David Benavidez, accompanied by his elder brother and a few friends, confronted Caleb Plant in a gym where he was training. From arguments to pushing and shoving, things went for a toss when Plant took a shot at Jose Benavidez Jr. Then a free-for-all followed, but before it could escalate, intervention by others seems to have brought it down. David Benavidez&#8217;s cocaine controversy Soon after he defended his WBC Super Middleweight title from Ronald Gavril?s challenge, David Benavidez tested positive for benzoylecgonine, the active element in cocaine.? PHILADELPHIA, PA &#8211; AUGUST 05: David Benavidez celebrates after defeating Denis Douglin during a super middleweight fight at 2300 Arena on August 5, 2016 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Alex Goodlett/Getty Images) A random test performed by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) as part of WBC?s Clean Boxing Program revealed that Benavidez tested positive for the drug. The WBC, as a result, stripped him of his title and suspended him till February 2019. Later, on December 19, 2018, news came that Benavidez would return to the ring on March 16, 2019. David Benavidez&#8217;s beef with Canelo Alvarez It?s not that David Benavidez enjoys friendly relations with the reigning Super Middleweight supremo Canelo Alvarez despite the latter hailing from the country from where his father came. On his part, Benavidez has always wondered why he hasn?t been allowed to fight Canelo Alvarez, even though he has already proven to be worthy of facing the Mexican in the ring. On the other corner, Canelo has made it clear that he does not want to face Benavidez because of his apparent lack of experience against top-ranking fighters. Benavidez once told ?The Last Stand,? &#8220;I been winning title eliminators, I just won an interim title. I feel like a lot of people now don&#8217;t respect the boxing ranks. If you don&#8217;t respect the boxing ranks, what are the boxing ranks for?&#8220; Thus, Benavidez believes Canelo is reluctant to fight him because the former poses a significant challenge to the Mexican?s dominance in the division.

Terence Crawford

Terence Crawford?s Net worth, career, and Family Terence Crawford: net worth in 2023 After an eventful amateur career, Omaha, Nebraska-born Terence Crawford became a professional boxer in 2008. Ever since, he has fought thirty-nine times. He has yet to lose a bout. For a boxer who has spent close to one-and-a-half decade in boxing, according to ?celebritynetworth.com,? Terence Crawford?s net worth in 2023 stands at around $8 million.? Look at some significant fights that helped Crawford rake in big bucks. 1. Vs. David Avanesyan, December 2022 &#8211; His sixth title defense, Terence Crawford, during a conversation with Brian Custer, confirmed a purse of $10 million in addition to a 70% stake in the revenue generated by PPV buys. 2. Vs. Shawn Porter, November 2021 &#8211; According to ESPN, Terence Crawford received around $6 million for the bout besides the 60% split in the overall earnings. 3. Vs. Kell Brook, November 2020 &#8211; The match at the MGM Grand against the former IBF Welterweight title holder made Terence Crawford richer by the $3 million guaranteed amount besides the 60% of the PPV share. 4. Vs. Egidijus Kavaliauskas, December 2019 &#8211; For his third fight at the Madison Square Garden after becoming the WBO Welterweight champion, Crawford reportedly took home a $4 million purse. 5.

Crawford received a guaranteed payout of $5.5 million and a percentage of the earning made through PPV subscriptions. 6. Vs. Jose Benavidez Jr., October 2018 &#8211; His first title defense after moving to the Welterweight division against Jose Benavidez Jr. saw Terence Crawford take home roughly $3.625 million, according to ESPN. 7.

For the two unification fights before, against Felix Diaz in May 2017 and John Molina Jr. in December 2016, he reportedly received $1.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively. However, boxing paydays are not the only source of Terence Crawford?s income. Over the years, intelligent deals have bolstered his wealth immensely. The boxing legend?s association with sports firm Everlast remains his prominent contract. Additionally, he seems to have lucrative deals with Populum, SNAC, and Zilliqa. Thus, Terence Crawford?s sponsorship arrangements undoubtedly contribute to his riches.? Terence Crawford?s childhood and early life Terence Crawford was born in Omaha, Nebraska. He did his schooling at Bryan High School, Omaha, where his interest in the sport, which later became his career, developed. It is safe to assume the ?Bud? completed his high school, though not much information could be sourced regarding any higher education he might have pursued. Terence Crawford?s family Terence Crawford was born to Terry and Debbie Crawford on September 28, 1987. Shawntay Crawford and Latisha Crawford are his sisters. Throughout his career, they have stood behind their brother resolutely. Terence Crawford may be married to long-time partner Alindra Person.

Terence Crawford has two more sons &#8211; T Bud Crawford and Tyrese Crawford and two more daughters, Lay Lay Crawford and Trinity Michele Crawford.?? Terence Crawford?s boxing career Reportedly, Terence Crawford took up the gloves at age seven. His amateur record stands at seventy wins against twelve losses. Some of the most memorable moments of his amateur stint remain victories over boxers such as Mikey Garcia and Danny Garcia, who became world champions like him. He won a gold medal at the 2006 United States National PAL championships. He grabbed a silver at the Golden Gloves in Omaha a few months later. In 2007, at the Colorado Springs held United States National Championships, he grabbed a bronze medal. Unfortunately, his Olympic dream stopped after losing the bouts to Sadam Ali and Miguel Angel Gonzalez during the 2008 Beijing Olympic trials. On March 14, 2008, he fought his first professional match. In a fifteen-year career, Crawford has participated in thirty-nine fights, winning all. It wasn?t until 2013 that he won his first title, the vacant NABO Lightweight. A year later, on March 1, 2014, he defeated the Scottish boxer Ricky Burns to become the WBO Lightweight champion. Besides adding The Ring Lightweight belt to his kitty, he retained the title that year. Next year, scaling up a division, he knocked out the Puerto Rican Thomas Dulorme on April 18, 2015, becoming the WBO Light Welterweight champion. The following year, during the third title defense, ?Bud? Crawford defeated the Ukrainian boxer Viktor Postol unanimously to add the WBC and vacant The Ring Light Welterweight belts.

Terence Crawford?s Signature Boxing Techniques A well-rounded boxer who quickly moves across tactics depending on the competitor, Terence Crawford displays high boxing IQ by employing techniques such as pressure fighting and counter-punching, among many others. Switching from Southpaw to Orthodox (and back) is one of the most challenging aspects of going in a fight against him. Let?s look at some critical aspects of Crawford?s fighting style. Switch Stance: Most of Terence Crawford?s opponents face a boxer in the classic Southpaw stance. But he has never exhibited rigidity over it, switching over to an orthodox posture briefly or perhaps the entire round.? Such a move often lures orthodox boxers beyond their skill set, leading ?Bud? to launch a devastating left-hand counterattack.? Similarly, he makes full use of his height which is five feet and eight inches, and the reach of seventy-four to keep opponents at a distance. He usually maintains his southpaw stance while facing other left-handed boxers to deflect any body shots. Simply put, Terence Crawford has mastered the switching that follows the scenario he might face in the ring. Jab and Parry: Terence Crawford uses a jab, often overlooked by most critics, to gauge his opponent?s distance. He will also use it to shield himself from the latter?s attack on the head and launch his counterstrikes. He often switches to the orthodox stance to knock out opponents with left and right hooks he sets up with his jab. A master of lead head feints, he uses the ploy regularly to confuse opponents. Pull and Counter: ?Bud? frequently executes a counterattack with a right hook, catching right-handed boxers who throw a jab unprepared. Crawford resorts to a full-scale attack as soon as he can make that the competitor is hurt. He usually applies pressure with a barrage of left hooks, straight punches, and varying his body position, wrongfooting the opponent. Footwork: The role played by Terence Crawford?s footwork in aid of his defense plan needs special mention. For instance, from a back foot posture, he shuffles back in straight lines, pivots to either left or right, and circles around the foe, stepping laterally. Thus the technique makes him one of the most challenging targets in the sport to hit. Shoulder Roll: Defending with a shoulder roll is a common tactic in boxing. It?s often linked to the defensive prowess of geniuses like Floyd Mayweather Jr. It starts with the lead shoulder rolled, thus defending the chin. The other hand is kept close to the cheek to block or launch a counterattack. Besides frustrating the opponent, the shoulder roll produces low wear and tear. By avoiding excessive movement and conserving energy, the shoulder roll is one of the most effective defensive techniques for a boxer. It will do good to remember that while a helpful method, mastering shoulder roll, takes a lot of work, timing, and knowledge about the opponent?s punches.??

Incidentally, his father, who served in the Navy, had been an accomplished high-school wrestler. Reportedly, a family friend named Wiley introduced him to the sport.?? At the CW Boxing Club in North Omaha, he started honing his skills, and his unconventional boxing technique, taking after wrestling, emerged. Coming from a very athletic family, wrestling played a considerable part in their culture. Crawford inherited a passion for the sport from his illustrious family members. Despite his success as a pound-for-pound, one of the greatest boxers of the era, Terence Crawford longed to pass on the love of wrestling to his sons. His eldest son has already started achieving success in the sport.? Terence Crawford got shot So Terence Crawford made his professional debut on March 14, 2008. He engaged in five bouts that year and won them all. But it should be noted that he might have skipped the November battle if not for the tragic incident. As the story goes, a few days before he turned twenty-one, Crawford and a few of his friends were killing time one night and decided to start shooting dice. Before long, he was ahead of others. Terence lost interest after a few games and collected his winnings. He went to relax in his 1986 Pontiac Cutlass Supreme. But he made a mistake by staying there for a long time and not leaving immediately. As he began to count, there was a burst of gunfire from behind.? It was a nine-millimeter bullet that pierced the back glass of his car. It came out that ?Bud? wasn?t the target. The shooter was aiming at someone else. Fortunately, the bullet missed his brain and struck the right side of his head, below his ear.? The nine-millimeter changed its course once it came in contact with the back window. Had it struck Crawford directly, his condition would have been much worse. He kept his cool and drove himself to the hospital, bleeding profusely.? Since his injuries weren?t fatal, he was released shortly after receiving stitches. Terence Crawford showing his mental fortitude, once again fought Michael Williams on November 8, his fifth match of the year, barely two months after the incident.
