Terence Crawford spoke about Shakur Stevenson’s victory in the fight against William Cepeda.
“The only thing I didn’t like… Shakur stayed on the ropes too long. He was hit with some shots that he shouldn’t have taken. And that makes an impression on the judges. Especially when someone is standing on the ropes… It just didn’t look good.
Shakur shouldn’t have taken that damage, but you have to give credit to Cepeda. He didn’t let him do what he wanted, didn’t let him box. So sometimes he had to dig in and fight,” Crawford said in an interview with the YouTube channel Seconds Out.
