As an unbeaten prizefighter whose home base is deep in football country, Terence Crawford had to understand that better than anyone else. It set the stage for Crawford, and for much of the night proved to be a tough act to follow. The manner in which he fought the rounds suggested that Crawford wasn’t interested in waiting for an opening; he instead punched a hole through the wall. Had Benavidez Jr. managed to bob and weave just long enough to hear the final bell, Crawford would’ve cruised to a landslide decision victory. With that final offensive explosion, Crawford didn’t just do his job but showed off his ability to deviate from the norm.
