Pound for pound top dog for some in boxing Terence Crawford got into a heated beef with a female that came close to the woman being knocked out.
Look, never good to see those kind of things, but when you press real fighters no matter if it a midget woman from China only four feet tall, or from Mike Tyson, fighters are fighters and will most exercise self control, but sometimes things get out of hand.
Some years ago when Guillermo Rigondeaux the great Cuban world champion was sparring Katie Taylor the women’s champion from Ireland, he was told the woman was a national treasure in Ireland and to go easy on her in sparring.
He spoke a few words in Spanish and laughed and agreed, but quite seriously then said in approximate translation:
“Yeah that’s great and everything but if she hits me I’ll knock the b**** out.”
Something similar happened yesterday after the weigh-ins for Ryan Garcia vs Rolly Romero when ‘Bud’ Crawford who was in attendance.
He had words with a female member of his rival Teofimo Lopez’ team above and said:
“Shut up b****. Shut up before somebody smack the s*** out of your dumba**”
Oh dear.
Lopez also boxes tonight on a stacked card at Times Square.
He takes on Arnold Barboza junior.
Crawford is in training for a Canelo Alvarez super fight at this particular time.
