Terence Crawford has never been officially dropped in his entire career, though one fight has fans confused as to how he got away without a knockdown being called.
Terence Crawford‘s last five fights have seen the pound-for-pound talent defeat Kell Brook, Shawn Porter, David Avanesyan, Errol Spence, and Israil Madrimov.
He is set to face Canelo Alvarez at the end of the year in a bid to cement his status as a legend in boxing, though his record does have one blemish, though not an official one.
Terence Crawford was lucky after no knockdown as called after he was sent to the canvas in title defense
In 2019 Crawford, who is sparring Lester Martinez ahead of his Canelo clash, defended the WBO welterweight world title he won against Jeff Horn when he faced undefeated Egidijus Kavaliauskas.
Crawford won the contest via a ninth-round stoppage after two knockdowns that round, and a knockdown earlier in the seventh.
But the real moment of interest came in the third round when Kavaliauskas landed a right hand on ‘Bud’, and sent him toppling to the canvas, touching down with his gloves and taking a knee.
The knockdown wasn’t ruled as such, though many ringside, including professional boxers, believed Crawford was knocked down for the first time that night.
Andre Ward, who Carl Froch claims was scared of Dmitry Bivol, said: “He got knocked down. He won’t admit he got knocked down but that was a knockdown.
Gervonta Davis taunts Terence Crawford over knockdown hypocrisy
Gervonta Davis faced controversy lately after his draw with Lamont Roach Jr. saw ‘Tank’ take a knee during the fight. Davis claimed the knee was due to grease in his eye from his hair, but fans were confused and outraged that no knockdown was called as Davis took a knee, regardless of the reason why.
Crawford criticized Tank on X, writing “I never seen someone take a knee and they don’t count it as a knock down. Must of forgot the rules for tonight.”
Another user was quick to point out Crawford’s incident with Kavaliauskas, and Davis retweeted their post.
