POSTFIGHT: Crawford said he doesn't get enough credit for being strong. But he said he proved it, especially as former junior welterweight moving up to welterweight.
"My power carried up," Crawford.
Here's how the fight ended.
Crawford said he wants the other champions in the division. For the record, that's Keith Thurman, Errol Spence, and the winner of Shawn Porter-Danny Garcia. Obviously, a Crawford-Spence fight would be one of the biggest bouts that could be made in the sport.
Afterward, Horn told ESPN that he thought he could beat Crawford coming forward. He also said Crawford was strong and quite a good boxer. "He didn't seem like a smaller guy, that's for sure," Horn said.
As a side note, I'm not a huge fan of Robert Byrd. I think he's overrated as a referee. But he did a nice job tonight, and though I think it was the slightest bit premature, he still made the right call to stop the fight when he did.
