Many were surprised in boxing and in the world of sport to Ryan Garcia’s defeat to Rolly Romero but one Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford was surely not.
Alas, many thought Romero had a great chance of winning the fight this weekend and he did — via UD on points.
Speaking after the bout on the X platform, Crawford revealed:
“I told @ShakurStevenson before the fight that Rolly was going to win.”
Cold as ice, calculated as always from Crawford.
He knows his boxing and the likes of Jim Lampley also warned about the possibility of a big upset for Garcia this weekend.
Garcia will be back but maximum credit to Romero. It was his night.
The better fighter won on the night at Times Square in New York.
