The pound for pound number one boxer in the world was at the fight in the major boxing news and results this weekend.
Daniel Dubois retained his IBF heavyweight title with the KO of Joshua tonight.
Speaking to a group of reporters after the fight in rush out of the stadium Crawford said:
“It was a great fight. I think Joshua got over confident. He hurt him with a shot and went for the kill but he forgot about his defense and forgot about the fundamentals.”
He continued:
“I always stated that the better man was going to win today and Dubois was the better man.”
He added:
“He came to fight. You could see it in his eyes that he was not leaving the ring without that victory.”
He sure did.
Eye of the Tiger.
Tonight was something straight out of the playbook of Rocky Balboa.
No rope a dope, he made it easy in the end with the counter, as for the fight — just a straight blitz and fire with fire fight.
