Crawford has no popularity Due to its weak career curriculum, only with a SPENCE errol and a champion of 154 pounds Israil Madrimov as the only notable opposition who had faced in 17 years. Terence could have helped to promote the interest of the fans in the struggle of Canelo if he was brave, moved to 168 and assumed Benavidez and David Morrell.
