Crawford Wows Home Town Fans With Amazing KO | Terence Crawford vs Jose Benavidez Jr. | FREE FIGHT

[Applause] let's do this Joe tessitor alongside two Division World Champion Timothy Bradley and Mark priegel ringside all the talk is done it's time to fight benavidez Crawford WBO welterweight championship of the world [Applause] all right foreign [Applause] remember he will switch stances benavid is no stranger to that as well he opens up Orthodox to start this evening see Crawford right away moving trying to create things with his feet using his jab and spurts then if he's in stocking right now with a strong stiff Jab remember the two natural counterpunchers but I have to think that was some of the purpose behind Benavides making them on and antagonizing the way he did he wants Crawford to come forward and attack Crawford giving him a smile and a little nod of the head when he went with that jab to the body [Applause] with that left hand as he came forward and that drops his guard and pumps defensively for a moment then if you just showing right away that he's not scared of Terence Crawford he's stalking him getting Terence Crawford on his bicycle and it is not just the fight but naturally the bigger Manor who walks around significantly north of where he fights at checked in at what I found to be a surprising 145 pounds down he's a he's a natural welterweight since adolescence and he's fought as high as 54. now the switch in stance from Crawford Benavides right there and landed two Jabs on Crawford Crawford trying to step in and counter punch but you see it's a little difficult Benavides has been trolling the outside range with that jab why he's stalking [Applause] Tim you like the early work with that jab a benefit he's going to have thou jab Terence Crawford the jab is what sets up everything for Terence Crawford and then Crawford sitting on top with that now Southpaw right jab as he comes in with a straight left to the body that scores here Papa gotta be careful in lunging he lunges that straight left Benavides is a good good counter puncher set off we're gonna take just one short break here and then pass to Crawford and Benavides stick around [Applause] remember we wondered if Jose benavidez Jr would be too emotional too amped up he was in control in that first round I I agree with you I hadn't winning the round by virtue of his jet let's remember Harvard Crawford took exception with Tim yesterday I'm not a slow starter but I think he is I think he takes a certain amount of time to to download his opponent's information as it would I have to agree with you mark on that he does but I like what I'm seeing right now from Benavides he got Crawford kind of tentative and not committing right away Crawford most of the time likes to commit after that jab and Benavides is standing in his ground and not allowing him to meet with anything after his jail and just for the Layman out there Tim when you say commit with the jab the natural counter punching to fire it off fire comes at you you come over with the counter right so it matches up absolutely and that's how you need to do it but Benavides is keeping the mind is with his footwork taking a half a step back like that and he's also firing back with his jab making Terence Crawford tentative to fire the left hand [Applause] I think Terence has to go to the body here Jan then go downstairs well I would I would take my attention downstairs you see how big that frame is from benavidez but Terence right now is picking to choose to see if he can wear them down a little bit mentally just get him to make mistakes [Applause] Crawford trying to change levels right now look like he's trying to land something over the top [Applause] shakes it off he says isn't anything [Applause] Crawford has a stream concentrations he can concentrate for 36 minutes and figure it out in here avita's leaning forward guard down trying to draw Crawford in proper steady [Applause] there's Miss Deborah it was an interesting walk inside [Applause] she's got that right hand Fish It Up see yeah what I like Benavides he's taking the jab away from Crawford and that's one thing you got to do when you fight Terry Crawford you see him fire back with his jab right there benavidez [Applause] good Exchange that last round saw the Bodywork from Buck Crawford and then that exchange at the end when each man just had the glancing blow but a willingness to throw round number three here Crawford and benavidez I'm taking with Benavides confidence he's never fought in a fight like this he's never fought an opponent that's good and you can tell he believes he's supposed to be here he says Terence Crawford dumped him I don't find any evidence of that but in boxing the Imagine slice are usually more important than the real ones Terence Crawford right now trying to get his jab working and trying to pick up the pace of benavidez [Music] jab going from there there's another body shot that got around the left arm of Benavides so that's the second time bud Crawford has scored well with that right hand to the body that hook from that Southpaw stance with the hot pink gloves you can tell with the trunk and the gloves breast cancer awareness top of mind for the chance [Applause] we're coming around through that Shale defense and Crawford coming around the elbow of benefitius to land that body shot [Applause] [Music] you can't call but also come on for jab and shoot a straight left hand he definitely cans but he has to be careful because Benavides like I said it's a great counter punch and he has a good right hand doubles up the right hand that time does Crawford Harry works his way to the inside and included yet another body punch this is a good looking third round for Bud Crawford I think the information is downl [Applause] ations and putting those ear muffs on target practice for a guy like Terence Crawford who write me this is the knee that was shot opponent went through the funeral artery it captured the phone and according to people who have worked in the Benedictus Camp ala Teresa is formed a strength and conditioning coach Gaffney is not yet ready for an opponent like Terence absolutely it's not it's not ready it's benefit is concedes it will never be 100 of the questions is this the right time to take the fight see that Grace on the right knee right knee that's trying to support attack power and get out of the way of range from Bud Crawford who has had so much success going to the body in this round taking control here from the champion but Crawford stepping in behind the jab you see the peekaboo defense there even though benavida shook that off he landed those hard body shots on Benavides and here it is again when you put that peekaboo defense up with those hands up leaves an opening for the outside to the body around the elbows I've been a videos round number four with two undefeated won the best pound for pound fighter in the world that's Terence but Crawford trained by Brian McIntyre AKA who's with Bernardo bomac it seems that Terence is getting his rhythm here what did you tell him what do you want for round four I told him to keep his hands up and go behind that double jab because benevis been a Visa catch the first jab but he won't he won't catch the second Jack after you throw the second jab he'll try to cover up you can get closer to him that's it so after you get closer to him you get close to him he start going to the body come back up to the head say anything about the power benevideos no ain't no power he ain't got no power thank you very much a bug just shook off a little taste of that power and stuck out his tongue at Benavides it's a interesting and dynamic relationship between bomac and Terence Crawford we're about 30 seconds ago then if you just landed some clean right hands but Crawford trying to come in behind the jab got talked coming straight down the middle on the way in with the right hand and benavidez you said watch out for that right hand try to go to the body to get built line and came up short this is high level prize fighting right here these guys are at Mid distance range is changing shots going back and forth offense and defense by both of these guys and look at defeat Crawford's getting his right foot outside Benavides left and that is always critical when you watch the Southpaw against the Orthodox take note of that front foot of Bud Crawford if he gets that outside position now all of a sudden there's no switch itself off with Benavides but that Prime position watch for it here well Benavides is looking for some help by switching southpaw he got hit with some good shots from bud early on and he's looking at just great things different angles by twitching softball [Applause] I got news for you fellas Crawford's found this Drilling oh good right hand by benavidez right on the Belt Line where it says Crawford and pink that's what benefits need to do he needs to go down the Crawford's body here it is look to your left it's super slow-mo that's why as he plants in the new low right on the Belt Line right there off balance that time wildly intriguing round number four between these two unbeatens here in Omaha [Applause] remember benavidez says I'm not going to change who I am he hasn't so far he has stood right in there landed that good right hand to the body moments ago that had to bring some confidence to the corner of benavidez that's where we find Bernardo with benavidez senior all right Jose third round was good for Crawford fourth round what worked for Jose Jr I think all the rounds junior is getting him I don't know what you've seen in the third round I think he's boxing them beautiful you know he's making this you know he can't feel the bunch of look he's getting hit look at that you know but your opportunity got to go with the crowd whatever you guys say but I think he's doing really beautiful he's going through the body he's catching them with those straight right look look at that how can you tell me that look but of course you know you're in his hometown everybody whenever every time he touches a little bit people makes it seem like it's big but when he gets touched nobody says nothing it's like everybody's dead but we do is we're so happy we gotta maintain that jab we gotta try to go a little bit more straight punches to the body and make him get frustrated you know the good thing about this guy he's not running you know that that makes it easy maybe because junior is not following him you know so hopefully he can keep like that I think that's uh we're happy with everything that we're seeing right now thank you very much you got a good read on how the situation is going sure did and not running makes a good night for you the viewer and these fans here and by the way in terms of the way the crowd reacts they very much knew what they were getting themselves into so much so to the point that Jose Jr said hey this fight's not going the distance I can't let that happen here in his hometown a little politicking by Jose senior there although I think he's just been an excellent round so far for junior and that right hand was a decisive blow in the previous round the right hand to the bottom you're definitely hurt Crawford right as he was establishing Rhythm and that really let his hands go in the opening moments of this fifth round he did let his hands go Crawford had his hands up he blocked most of those punches but Crawford right now is bringing his attention down to the body of benavidez and having some sets over the top an occasional left hand when benavid is trying to pull out [Applause] foreign trying to get control of the lead hand that's why you see all the hand gestures from both guys benavidus was searching for that right hand to the body again he caught him with a short right hand as Crawford came in [Applause] see Crawford is right in front of Benavides Crawford should pick up his feet and use a little bit more angles and Confused benevideos [Applause] perhaps a better test than many imagined for the great bud Crawford a guy who sits number one atops so many fighter in the world with the guy who was number one pound per pound retired now works for us taking on the best in the world Terence Buck Crawford heard Andre say real championship fights don't get started until after the sixth round so here comes that halfway mark round number six for the WBO 147 pound title let's look at the compubox numbers as they're being tallied tonight total power punches remember we mentioned the percentage of Crawford typically at 48 he's tracking at 39 right now Benavides a tip lower 38 competitive fight [Applause] you mentioned Joe that this is more than most people imagine from Jose benedites but it's not more than Jose Benavides imagined as a kid when he was sparring with Manny Pacquiao Amir Khan Shane Mosley he was 16 17 years old and he was The Prodigy he was supposed to be The Prodigy of this division just pause and think about that for a moment he was sparring Manny Pacquiao at 16 years old thank you Steve is for me what was that like Tim you know like I said he's a great counter puncher he'll wait on you he'll use that jab occasionally but he'll wait on you and he'll fire some combinations back at you great counter punching and he has good speed but his sense of himself as a fighter was based on those sparring sessions he's never been in with anyone like that except for when he was a kid interesting moment right there as Bud came in and then the right hand came in at a downward angle good exchange right in the center of the Ring and there's a difficulty facing your sense of yourself on sparring also something that happened almost a decade ago right now benavidez has had some success he is with that right hand temp straight right hand and also like the champ said he's catching Crawford on the way out Crawford had a tendency of doing so getting off and coming right back three punch combination moments ago by Crawford that spiked this crowd here you saw him double up that left hand now he gets right into the kitchen of benavidez and he let him go again this has been a good Round Here round number six [Applause] three punch combination and another right hand to the body from Bud Crawford end of six for the Welterweight Title [Applause] [Music] Joe Tim Mark and Bernardo home here ringside they're on their feet in Omaha it has been a very good first half of this world title fight and now as Andre Ward said this is when it really happens in fact let's bring in the scorecard of the former two division world champion as ward has it 58-56 for Crawford Crawford right now controlling it's the outside that's why he's able to land these shots Benavides has nowhere to go but back while Crawford controlling the Lead Foot getting outside of the left foot uh benavidez and that gives him position to do just that yes to land the straight left hand he has had so much success already with the right hand to that Left Flank from benaditez thank you [Music] here's David benavidez undefeated himself Jose's brother so talented at 168 pounds we see a lot of boxing dads who have sired One champion but to my knowledge there's none that have desired too it was a senior the trainer Jose Jr outrageous light story himself it's like the movement in Crawford has been Evita extended Steel I think the Crawford's fighting a little up but in terms of stamina it looks like genoves has less at this point all the body shots that cash proper has landed is definitely doing is making the toll and doing his toe and doing what it's supposed to do Bernardo has been monitoring both Corners what can you tell us Bernie well benavidez is doing exactly what his father doesn't want him to do he wanted him to use a jab in this round to not step straight back to be more active and beaumat called it the round before he said I see benavide is breathing hard and I think bud is in a great place [Music] final 30 seconds here of round seven you see there's no jet now I've been defeaters is willing to cover up right in front of Terence Crawford that's a huge mistake he's tired he is tired after you do that you're going to have offense coming right at you it was from all the body shots Taryn Crawford did early on and see Jose senior and Junior trying to gather themselves after a very fine looking seventh round from Bud Crawford's him there it is Crawford right here making a miss making him pay short left hand right there this is what we've seen all night long the facial expressions yeah you know the facial expressions just means that hey you're getting to me that's all that means look at the facial expressions no one's landed a good punch let me tell you something flood has landed a few good ones especially the right hand to the body in that left hand moments to go round eight is this the start of where Crawford takes control I'll tell you what I do see from the facial expressions between around I don't see the same real the same confidence the same type of willingness to attack from Benavides that I did earlier in the fight covering up like that doesn't work out so well when you're in with a pound for pound Great you become an instant punching bag but you see the fundamentals of Terence Crawford's coffee box numbers you see them now and you see the advantage that Crawford is starting to put together total punches outlanding him 93-63 and that Gab looks like it's going to continue here this is the complete takeover round for Terence Crawford Landing his best up to the head and body of benavidez it's also something we've seen for a while now it's not just the facial expressions but Benavides feet are flat flat no jab no snap on his punches it's a great observation on the feet Mark fatigue noticeable how it's changed you know who else notices it the guy opposite him he's still punch though oh you better believe it you always have a chance in this game benavidez comes in tonight with 18 Knockouts among his 27 wins trying to put that right hand to the body against Crawford remember he had success earlier tonight with that right hand to the body that's the bolo shot Benavides who's trying to land it was low and then it sweeps across Crawford three-punch exchange including the left hand that splits the guard up Benavides and of course benavidi shakes his head once again benavidez put those earmuffs on you know Benavides obviously had a lot to prove tonight but Crawford this is his second fight at 147. he's still proven if not to himself the the rest of the division you could be a big guy I can handle [Applause] gonna be this really just stocking right in front of Crawford now he tries to put a combination together and Crawford did the smart thing by stepping in bodying up and tying up then if he does [Music] Angelo's trying to pop that jab off the hip [Applause] Crawford comes in left hand right to the body front exchange and pulls out the eighth what answer does Jose benavidez Jr have now I guess but Crawford and found 13 323 local fans here in Omaha started boxing at age seven for many years he ran with the wrong crowd turned his life around dedicated himself to simply be the best and that's exactly what he is the welterweight champion of the world and if it is right now trying to time Terence Crawford coming in with the right hand you see him sitting on that back foot right now trying to draw him in I think he's pretty much made a concession that the way to win this fight and answer to Joe's question is that right hand coming in every single time benavidez put those ear muffs on Terence Crawford takes advantage of that he worked those hands not a lot of shots Landing but he lands when he goes down to the body comes around the elbows of benevited thank you [Applause] Andre Ward who wasn't even sixth round but still Crawford up 78-74 [Music] Manning ringside have it five rounds to three Crawford [Applause] changing levels going downstairs to be able to land some combinations up top like that right hook right there and spinning around on the angle and not get hit [Applause] us right now is a little frustrated I think he's trying to catch up Terence Crawford is not through operating he can't match his legs okay look at look at the feet I just got on the range right there angles out right there Terence Crawford [Applause] he made the point before that jab looks good when he throws it but he's he's taking rounds off from that jail honestly it's the knee I believe it's the knee nice shot right there from benavidez Kevin Crawford as he pulls straight back a knee that just over two years ago was nearly destroyed by a bullet our doctors who gave him very little chance to ever return to the ring well it makes them one-dimensional and makes them immobile you know he really can't move back he pulls straight back you're not gonna win rounds like this in the ring against the best in the world and now searching for an answer he talked so much hoping to draw Crawford into a brawl round number 10. and I spent two months investigating that shooting nobody gets shot right above the knee walking his dog actually was a cat too it was an exotic ten thousand dollar cat at midnight in Phoenix someone targeted him and he knows just doesn't know who right now he's got to worry about being targeted by Bud Crawford who's stepping right to him as he covers up against the ropes and Crawford's going to have some options places a right chance of the body probing now with a body shot again says come at me got to be willing to fire back though [Applause] you got Macho stuff on the roads ain't gonna help him in this fight right now he's looking at times dropper with a right hand you see him throw the right hand he tried as Terence Crawford went back the Crawford recognizing that and blocked it Terence didn't give him the opportunity smart fighting world-class fighter Master Craftsman oh another check in what the corners are saying here's Bernardo all right in the corner of Terence Crawford it wasn't bomac with the instructions Miss Deborah looked at Bud Crawford said bud can you hear me he looked over he said last round finishes so mom is getting involved isn't it guys well you see the inconsistency uh then if he's attacked he's standing right in front of Terence Crawford right now not really using his Jab I want to see Terence Crawford turn it up a little bit more on Benavides he's there to be hit nice thing in body shot right there with Crawford with that left hand right to the body he wants to try to draw him in again wasn't successful earlier in doing so let's see what benavidez comes up with here and Crawford looks to unload pushes him back a right hand came with it from benavidez this is exactly what Crawford needs to do he needs to stay close work the body Benavides [Applause] [Music] benavid is a little more willing here in round number ten and Crawford always that way that left hand by Terence Crawford in the last round champ you see benavidez pulling back Cardinal move don't pull straight back and Terence Crawford recognizing that and throws a sleeper sweeping left hand to land on benavidez six minutes for Crawford to hold on to that lofty perch he sits on world champion that pound per pound Elite in six minutes for Benavides to try to find the answer look at the power punches now Crawford comes into this round having landed 100 of 238th throne and that percentage now moves North to 42 percent you talked before about Crawford basically torturing guys who've antagonized him we've made it personal he's not keeping Benavides around because he wants to hurt him it's better to beat his chin that's keeping him up Shannon in the heart chin in the heart a bit of it is put that up guys [Applause] we're gonna place that right hand again as Benedict is he is taking steps forward at least here in these Championship rounds and that's exactly what he needs to do he needs to walk downstairs and he needs let his combinations fly you can't throw one punch at a time against Terence Crawford he's too smart for that thank you Thursday the two greatest fighters in the world Terence Crawford at the silly La machenko beat bigger guys with their feet [Applause] that are underneath great skill that get them in and out they dark they Dodge they create offense and they provide Elite defense that's not benadite is just to wrap up for a moment as Crawford came in Louise will separate them here maybe looking at a goal for broken 12th round from The Undefeated Challenger as Crawford brings it a little bit round on their feet here in Omaha they love the finish that they want to see Crawford doing a good job and recognized recognizing that Benavides is trying to counter punch everything he does so what he doing he's sweeping with the check right hook and turning benavidez in spots which is smart by Terence Crawford [Applause] there it is again chance off balance checkbook as well they touch him up for the 12th and final round remember yesterday at the weigh-in what almost touched the chin of benavidez was the bare Knuckles of Crawford and now he's been tagged plenty he said it's his time to come here and take care of business and prove everybody wrong well time is of the essence he Trails well behind on the scorecards Crawford is easily in control and he's got two and a half minutes to try to make that dream come true these benavidez Crawford gets himself out of that blue corner how much does benavidez want it well if he wants to be the champion he always saw himself out of the champion he was told he would become he's got to sell out right now gotta go for it and he is he's trying he's trying to stop Terence and put combinations together to the head and body but where is that body shot we saw in the fourth round whoever came back with that yeah it was the right hand that he landed next an absence since popper is always going to be smart and always concentrated every single round and he's showing that he's more fundamentally sound Than benavidez Miles Ahead I don't think Ben and Peters has done himself a disservice and not at all not at all first half of this fight highly competitive [Applause] Aaron Crawford got him backed up now final match Crawford in front of home fans thank you sitting on the ropes and shaking his head is not how we won't stand this fight [Applause] half a minute to finish him away let's see how he goes about it best in the world home is he the finisher they don't expect him to be he is what a huge right hand and he has done it [Applause] how do you want a champion to act how do you want them to close a show what should it look like to deliver on everything you say that's 12th round is what it should look like Shakur Stevenson who had a show of his own earlier tonight and told this crowd what fun would do plus delivered Jose benavidez Jr came in with all the talk and was gained he was 27-0 to steal a wine from Raging Bulls ain't pretty no more [Applause] there's Miss Deborah okay the sun who she forged in the neighborhood of Larimore Street in North Omaha the incredible stories of a complicated pardoned relationship with his mother you heard what she said before this main event she would pay ten dollars to any kid in the neighborhood who could take her son not many took it and now that guy has any bigger contract to be king the pound-for-pound best with the Hall of Fame promoter Bobby [Music] I believe Terrence wins uppercut a right over cutter but she never threw the whole fight short uppercut then he follows up to finish them with a right hook benefits with her still hurt from that first knockdown and chance Crawford with a big ring right there saying yes I told you so the right uppercut was unbelievable the Right Hook was the ultimate finish and here's everything they've wanted to hear all night long with Lupe Contreras ladies and gentlemen referee celestino Ruiz steps in and stops the spout with an official time of two minutes 42 seconds of the 12th and Final Round declaring the winner by way of technical Knockouts still The Undefeated WBO welterweight champion of the world dropper [Applause] 34-0 25 Knockouts and this one was simply scintillating and that family is gonna have a great night of Celebration ahead another look before we hear from [ __ ] the man a right uppercut for the ages and then a Finishing Touch to rise above the ball we're gonna hear from Bud Crawford when we return to Omaha [Music]
