That was a great first title defense for Crawford.

I thought Benavidez did well considering people were expecting Crawford to mow him down in 5 or 7 rounds.

ive said it before ive never known a p4p level fighter wrapped in so much cotton wool. when lomachenko stepped up he fought linares, when crawford stepped up he fought the world number 31 coming off the back of fights against 2 guys ranked outside the top 300 and 400 respetively. great title defence doe....

Bud Crawford is methodical and patient. He wears you down like a cheap suit. Benavidez had a good game plan but didn't stick to it! Early on I think Crawford gave Benavidez a taste of his power. Bud landed to the body in the 2nd rd and made Benavidez take a step back and shake his head.

He did that several times in the fight. Bud picked up the pace in the third round, repeatedly landing combinations to the head and body and again forcing Benavidez to take a step back. All those punches would take its toll in the later rounds.

Good fight! I'm glad Crawford didn't call anyone out! When you are the top dog all on comers come to you not the other way around.

Well Loma's #1 P4P for a reason. Now that Crawford's got this first title defense out of the way he can try to make his own case for # 1 P4P by unifying with one of the other champs.

Can't wait to see what's next!

Those straight lefts downstairs were a thing of beauty. It definitely helped out in the later rounds.
