Terence Crawford isn’t normally a guy who takes shots at other fighters, but recently, he made an exception.
Crawford played a popular social media game ahead of his fight on Saturday with Israil Madrimov in Los Angeles, and the usually mild and humble all-time great spewed some venom when describing WBO super lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez.
Crawford played the describe-these-fighters-in-one-word game for ESPN, and while he described Shakur Stevenson, Devin Haney, Gervonta Davis, Canelo Alvarez, Madrimov, Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz, and Jaron “Boots” Ennis as “great,” when an image of Lopez appeared, the three-division champion called his former Top Rank stablemate “trash.”
Here is a look at the clip:
The beef between Crawford and Lopez has heated up this year.
YSM Sports posted this video, which tracked many of Crawford’s posts while Lopez was involved in a close fight with Jamaine Ortiz. After the comments from Crawford, you can see a short interview with Lopez that happened before his fight with Ortiz.
