Terence Crawford won more than a fight when he stunned Canelo Alvarez.
He won over the boxing community and sports fans who hardly knew him. Not just for the skill he showed in the boxing ring during the Sept. 13 mega-fight, but for the engaging personality he showed while making the rounds after becoming the undisputed super middleweight champion.
What a shame he decided to sully his reputation Wednesday, Dec. 3.
From inside a car, Crawford spewed profanity and delivered low blows in a rant against Mauricio Sulaimán, president of the WBC, one of boxing’s four sanctioning bodies.
Crawford fumed after the WBC stripped him of the championship belt he won from Alvarez. But it seemed like a very reasonable thing to do considering Crawford acknowledged he had not paid the WBC its $300,000 sanctioning fee.
