☆ Terence Crawford Stands Alone at the Top of Boxing
  + stars: | 2023-07-30 | by ( Morgan Campbell | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
He had the World Boxing Organization welterweight title belt, which he has owned since 2018, draped over his left forearm, along with the green World Boxing Council belt, which he had just won from Errol Spence Jr. The other two belts, from the International Boxing Federation and the World Boxing Council, rested with members of Crawford’s entourage, who followed him to ringside for the postfight news conference. Crawford greeted Spence, whom he had just defeated by technical knockout in the ninth round of the most important boxing match of the year. Spence, his face red and swollen, and Crawford, his face unblemished, hugged and spoke with each other. Before Spence could exit, Crawford handed him the W.B.C.

☆ Terence Crawford Knocks Out Errol Spence in One-Sided Bout

But in Round 2, a quick exchange of punches ended with a short right jab from Crawford that put an off-balance Spence to the canvas. Spence opened the next round on offense, as if to prove the punch had not damaged him. As the punch traveled toward Crawford’s head, Crawford fired a short, sharp right hook that dropped Spence a second time. For Crawford, the result was a lesson on the value of turning defense into offense. Spence had hinted that the Crawford bout would be his last in the 147-pound welterweight division.

Saturday’s world title fight will be his eighth. The Spence bout is his 18th consecutive world title fight. Spence’s trainer, Derrick James, traded insults with Crawford’s head coach, Brian McIntyre. James argued with the Crawford supporters who had gathered at T-Mobile Arena for the news conference. Crawford began the event pleading for calm between the two camps, and ended it exchanging R-rated barbs with the loudest member of Spence’s entourage.

☆ Heralded Cuban Wins in an Unusual Introduction to Pro Boxing
  + stars: | 2023-07-16 | by ( Morgan Campbell | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Cruz quickly found both, popping Burgos with two jabs and a hard right in the third round. Just before the bell, Cruz leaned back to avoid a left hook, then whacked Burgos with a counter right. In the fourth round, Cruz started landing uppercuts, and by the fifth, Cruz, the slicker boxer, was stalking Burgos. But Cuban officials canceled his bout and left him behind while the rest of the team traveled to Mexico. At the time, officials blamed poor practice habits; Cruz suspects the decision was aimed at preventing him from defecting.

☆ Andy Cruz, Amateur Legend, to Find Out if Pro Boxing Fits
  + stars: | 2023-07-14 | by ( Morgan Campbell | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Burgos, a 35-year-old fringe contender from Mexico, glared without expression at Cruz, a 27-year-old Cuban who won gold at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Cruz, who left Cuba last year, cracked a faint smile and gave Burgos a slight nod. For a seasoned pro like Burgos, staring down and sizing up an opponent at a pre-fight news conference is a familiar ritual. But the routine is brand-new to Cruz, the athlete widely regarded as the best boxer in a generation to emerge from Cuba’s storied amateur program. Cruz is a three-time world amateur champion, and the records database BoxRec credits him with 140 amateur wins (and nine losses).

☆ In the U.S., an Accomplished Cuban Boxer Takes His First Pro Steps

Cruz, a Cuban boxer who had won the lightweight gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, popped him with two more long lefts. Cruz is one of the most accomplished fighters ever to emerge from Cuba’s celebrated boxing program. Along with his Olympic gold, he has three amateur world titles and has twice won at the Pan American Games. Cruz’s manager, Yolfri Sánchez, watched the sparring session from ringside. Sánchez hired Ennis to replace Cruz’s amateur habits with pro techniques: hitting with authority, staying in range, catching and countering punches.

☆ Haney and Lomachenko Give Lightweight Boxing a Stirring Matchup
  + stars: | 2023-05-19 | by ( Morgan Campbell | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
A string of jabs and a crisp right hand. Another assistant coach leaned on the top rope with a clicker in his right hand, and announced that Haney had just surpassed 2,000 punches thrown. Haney, 24, was not just pitty-pat punching to run up numbers as he trains for his title defense on Saturday night against Vasiliy Lomachenko, 35. During a brief pause, the coach holding the mitts wandered over to a corner of the ring and grumbled that Haney had nearly broken his hands. When the action resumed, Bill Haney, Devin’s father and head trainer, asked to borrow a reporter’s notebook and pen.
