TERENCE CRAWFORD SENDS MESSAGE TO ERROL SPENCE AFTER NEW CRASH AT POST FIGHT PRESS CONFERENCE

Well, that's how you

fight

, you know, he's usually used to, you know, coming toe-to-toe with people and breaking their will and that's how he gets most of his knockouts, you know, trading with guys, sure, sure, I had a bit. ring Rush uh at the beginning of a couple of rounds, you know, but after you know, uh, ready, calm down, you know, I felt like everything was going my way, I like it, like I was playing well, yeah, but Like I always say, you know. uh, the crowd is a blessing, but at the same time the crowd can be a curse, so you know, uh, I try not to get too caught up in the crowd, you know, I try to focus on the tasks at hand.

Starting to see something different towards the end of the fourth round that you could do well. I was taking them down with the body shots, you know, the stab to the body, the hooks to the body, so you know, I knew I was taking them down, you know? and I knew it would be, you know, a short night when I caught him on the head, well, I think everyone knows that you know when you look at the story of me

fight

ing in Omaha it's always a big crowd, you know, so No. think this is the biggest crowd.

I would say you know over 14,000 13,14,000 so you know, they really came out to see this, they really came out to see this, so being there for a year and making things better. that's what I wanted, you know, like I said, I always kept saying I wanted to fight this year, you know, I don't want to be out of the ring for more than a year, you know, and you know, that's what I want. I'm trying to get back to fighting consistently and you take us to the end of the sixth round, that's when you got to them, what did you see, how did you know it was going to work?

Just tell us about those last few. seconds before you dropped it, well, like I told you before, you know, I was touching the body, you know, I saw that it was having an effect on them, you know, he had his guard up, you know, and I started to pick up the pace. ,uh. more hits and bunches and you know I saw the opening, I took it and you know the rest is history, you mentioned you're a free agent, where is this going? Where does this free agency go now wherever the sky takes it? you know I can, I'm really capable of doing business with whoever you know, it'll be fine, you know they were there, they were very nice and they blessed me with the opportunity to bring another fight to Omaha, Nebraska and I appreciate them for that and you know who knows If they bring another offer or something that my team and I agree on, you know, of course, you know we'll take it if other fighters in the welterweight division are free and we can do business and it makes sense, then that's what we are. "I'll do, you mentioned picking your spots in the fight, but I guess at this point in your career you're picking spots as to who you want to fight.

Is there any

message

you want to give Spence? Well, us." I don't have to give anyone a

message

, everyone, everyone, everyone sees what I've done in the welterweight division, everyone sees who I've been calling, everyone knows what Terence Crawford brings to the table, so don't know too much about anything what I need. what to do, yeah, do you think this may be the last time you do this in Omaha? What if it was what you hope people saw tonight? Well, this might be the last time Omaha sees me fighting, you know? And I like it, I said.

I hope you all came out, you had fun, you know, you all had a great time, you all came home safely and I just want you to know that I appreciate you for all the support you've given me since the amateur days. You know you've had a lot of tremendous knockouts. You have been in this knockout. It's nice. How would you rate this particular knockout in your career? race, you know, uh, but this is the top five and the other one, you know, I know you're a gentleman in the sport and fortunately Spence is okay, you know, I don't know if you heard he had an accident, but he's okay.

He came out and likes nice words or positive things, you just don't do things like that. Well, I never, I never heard that he was in another accident, you know, I wish he did, a 14-year-old boy allegedly got into a vehicle. and he entered that has fallen fortunately everyone is fine to be fine, I wish him the best, you know, I hope he is well, you know, mentally, physically and emotionally, you know, uh, like I said before, you know, he has a family that he has to feed And you know. uh, this is just sport, you know, we all know, uh, fighting for that number one spot, so it's not personal, it's just business, absolutely, what's next?

I mean, 13 months is probably a little longer than you'd like. I guess maybe not, but it would be, hopefully, sometime in April. Know? Yes, around that time I'll go on holiday and enjoy it, but congratulations on the win, I'm obviously looking forward to the Spence deal coming back. and we enter into negotiations, then it's the same, we should expect something similar to this, maybe like a top 10 in a case where you have to show your skills, we have to wait and see, you know. We can't we can't overstep our boundaries we don't know what's next you know so you just know you gotta go to the drawing board and my phone stay on and you know we're ready for whoever it is. it comes back and you know it might not get spent because of what's in that deal.

Do you know what's different? Do you think the negotiations with Dremel? Because I know you and Jamal have been going back and forth. Do you think it's your money? Charlo's negotiations will be different than they have also been talking to the same people. I don't know, I don't know, you know, I don't know, I can't speak for anyone else, I can only speak for myself. there is a schedule for you in terms of weight division, if you can't be waived for a certain amount of time there is a schedule that you are going to move forward and try to move up, are you ready now because I'm tired of 47. yeah, No, uh, I don't know, you know, uh, you know, uh, I feel like I can compete at 154.

I feel like I'll be strong at both 154 and 147, you know, a lot of people say I'm small at 147, you know, but I feel like you know with my strength and my skills and my uh my mindset you know I can go up and wait and hang out with the best one last one. Can I get a comment on what it was? the question when I want to go up to 154. No, actually, he made 47. pretty easy, but he made it look easy, you know, but I forgot that the guy could do basically anything you wanted to do at 47 or 54.

I This means that He's shown the world that he's the best at deep power so if he chooses to go up to 54 for a fight then he'll go down to 47 so that's what he wants to do and I don't think I personally will do it. Don't think anyone was 54 or 47. It could be as simple as that. The only question is who will be willing to fight. You don't see anyone calling our blood 54 or 47. So you'll probably try to stop it. I went out and probably got down to 35 and fought Shakur Stevenson okay Chris Ramsey so that mentality that you mentioned before um if there was anything you could share with those who are looking to grow and then be in an area of ​​higher elevation compared to . where they can see their parents, especially here in Omaha, what was something about your mindset in your life that you could share with those who are trying to grow in a better position, while I just tell them that you know, never take no for answer, always work hard to you know towards your dreams and goals and you know, you are just hungry for everything related, you know and you know, never give up, you know, because when I grew up I had a lot of doubts, but that fueled me, you know, you can't achieve it . from Omaha you have to go to Las Vegas or you have to go to California you have to go to a boxing city you know Boxing Day in Omaha Nebraska you know uh I didn't hear it all I had managers trying to get me out of Omaha from the beginning, you know, I looked at that guy and I said, man, we're going to make it from here, you know, and that's what we did because we set our mind to it, we had to go, we had a mission and you.

We know we are sticking to the game plan. Thank you. Thanks guys. Steve Nelson is available.
