Terence Crawford effusively commended WBC interim super middleweight champion David Benavidez for his stellar performance, asserting that Benavidez is now “ready for Canelo.” Following Benavidez’s sixth-round retirement victory over Demetrius Andrade, Crawford praised ‘The Mexican Monster’ and assigned his performance an “A++” rating.

Crawford specifically lauded Benavidez’s adept use of pressure and diverse punching techniques against Andrade, who appeared to be competing in a weight class significantly above his natural 154-pound division. However, during the event, Crawford indulged in a heated debate with an alleged fighter friend of Errol Spence Jr. The fans showcased their fright in the comments section.
