Terence Crawford vs Felix Diaz ended up to be a dominant display for the man they call ‘Bud’ Crawford, who showed just why so many rate him as one of the very best fighters in the world today – pound for pound.

Crawford displayed an even great variety to his sublime work that wasn’t seen before last night – in that he showed for the first time he is more than capable of fighting excellently from the southpaw stance.

An ominous sign for future opponents to contend with no doubt.

Outside the ring the past 12 months have been at times difficult for Crawford due to various legal issues but you wouldn’t have known last night.

He was as on song as ever.
