The fireworks sent Crawford's hometown fans at the CHI Health Center in Omaha, Nebraska into a frenzy Saturday night, as the WBO world welterweight champion made his sixth straight defense and recorded his 10th straight knockout.
crawford upcoming fight knocked out a game David Avanesyan in the sixth round Saturday night at the CHI Heath Center. The fight was produced by BLK Prime. It was the 10th Crawford fight in a row to end via finish. The champ now has 30 wins via knockout.
A big fight night on the Strip still brings out the stars, with recording artist Andre 3000 of Outkast, NBA star Damian Lillard and Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones at T-Mobile Arena. They were among the celebrities that also included former boxing champions such as Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao.
Porter (31-4-1, 17 KOs) applied relentless pressure in a rugged, tit-for-tat battle before Crawford scored two knockdowns in Round 10, leading his father and trainer, Kenny Porter, to throw in the towel. The stoppage came at 1 minute, 21 seconds and marked the first time in Porter's career that he was stopped.
Referee Kenny Bayless ultimately waved the bout off in the eighth round despite N'Dam not being seriously hurt. In the end, it was probably the right call. But even in the victory, Alimkhanuly showed that several aspects of his game can improve before he chases significant bouts later in his career.
Debra Crawford was a tough, outspoken woman charged with the task of raising a roughneck and two older girls. The block Bud grew up on had six homes housing parts of their family, a village that looked out for him on every edge. To toughen him up, she paid kids in the neighborhood anywhere from $5-$10 to beat Bud’s ass.
"It’s our time!," he said, repeatedly, as Bud worked into another rhythm. "They won’t overlook you, champ. All of y’all," Bernie said. "You watchin’ greatness! Y’all better learn somethin’. You gotta wanna be great, huh?! Well, round here we carve ‘em like butter; make ’em put they hands in they pockets; make ‘em wanna put they guns down, disarm ’em!
All he could do was smile — that playful, elegant gap-toothed grin of his — when he thought about what was at stake, what he fought for the last five years to attain; past broken promises from promoters and punches to his resume, no matter how many opponents he plowed through.
"He’s one of the realest individuals I probably done ever came across. He ain’t doin’ nothin’ for the media. Everything is authentic," Shakur told me. … I’m glad this fight is happening, because they finally gonna respect how great he is. … People are sleeping on Bud. They don’t understand what’s in front of them. It’s gonna be a rude awakening."
News on Terence Crawford next fight should arrive at the earliest in the fall. The newly minted WBA junior middleweight champion will look to further solidify his pound for pound status and perhaps add to his gold collection. Until then, we will look at three potential options for "Bud" and recap his win over Israil Madrimov.
This is stunning to watch. Spence is an unbeaten pound-for-pounder and Crawford is embarrassing him. Making matters worse: Spence landed a really hard left to Crawford’s chin and it didn’t faze him. Spence will have to hurt Crawford to win, it seems.
Brook and Porter are Spence and Crawford's two common opponents. Spence broke Brook's orbital in a 11th-round KO victory in 2017, Spence's first title fight. Crawford stopped Brook in Round 4 of a 2020 bout.

Spence and Crawford are still motivated to strike a deal, sources said. With both fighters in their primes -- and peaking -- the welterweight summit meeting stands as one of the biggest commercial fights in the sport.
