Terence Crawford Reacts To Diego Pacheco Beating His Fighter Steven Nelson

Diego Pacheco showed himself as a good prospect in boxing again tonight it must be noted.

He defeated a fighter Steven Nelson, whom pound for pound star Terence Crawford actually handles some of his career, not many know.

Nelson is a very brave, well spoken, tough man and has seen it all in life. A quiet but excellent fighter who lost this weekend, the cut probably didn’t help him, but he can comeback again.

Crawford after the fight this weekend said:

“I thought it was a really good, tough 12-round fight. Both showed a lot of heart and grit. Steven did a tremendous job, but I think he started a little too late. The cut he suffered affected him, and I could tell it threw him off a bit. Pacheco did what he was supposed to do—he stuck to his jab, maintained his discipline with distance, and stayed composed. By the time the fight turned into a battle, it felt like it was too late for Steven to come back.”

Crawford himself is involved in talks for a super fight with Canelo Alvarez at the moment.

Talks are understood to be ongoing at the moment at what would be one of the biggest fights ever staged in professional boxing of the 21st century.
