One hell of a performance. Never fought a 12 rounder before and when he does goes to the champ's country and takes his world crown. This guy definitely is the next big thing or atleast has the potential to be.

Good win for Crawford after starting out a little slow. He not Adrian Broner is the best young American fighter. If he were on Golden Boy he'd be on the Ring p4p list.
