Terence Crawford is taking his victory lap in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. Last week, Crawford became the 168-pound undisputed champion after defeating Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez.
Crawford spoke to Inside The Ring and said he believes his win against Canelo will be talked about in the next 100 years.
“A hundred years later they are going to talk about, ‘Remember that kid from Omaha, Nebraska, Bud Crawford? He went up two divisions, a matter of fact, three divisions, and beat Canelo Alvarez? My name is going to be rung and talked about when I am dead and gone, that’s what legacy is all about. A lot of people don’t understand that because they don’t want to take the risk. I said in the buildup: big risk, big reward. And we’re here now.”
On Saturday, the streets of Omaha, Nebraska, were packed to greet their hometown hero.
