The one thing that makes all the difference for Terence Crawford

According to Terence Crawford, boxing is a thinking man’s sport. In his opinion, it is his ability to out-think that makes him different from the other fighters in the sport. Likewise, Crawford strongly believes that he can find an advantage over an opponent even if they are more athletic, faster, and stronger than ‘Bud’. “When I’m in the rig I’m a thinking man. So, you can be more athletic than me. You can be faster than me, you can be stronger than me. You can be more powerful. But I’ma find a way to get the advantage over you because I’m out-thinking,” announced ‘Bud’ Crawford.

Provided the manner in which he thinks, Crawford believes he can recognize and capitalize on his opponent’s mistakes. “Boxing is a thinking man’s sport. No. 1 thing that I have over other fighters is my mind, the way I think, the way I capitalize on your mistakes, the way you do something wrong and I recognize it and I make you pay,” the two-time undisputed champion added. Along these lines, Crawford expressed how much he enjoyed training with Shakur Stevenson. As per Crawford, training with Shakur is equivalent to participating in a chess match.
