Terence Crawford-Dierry Jean Post Fight

Terence “Bud” Crawford (27-0, 19KOs) gave his hometown crowd a real show in the main event of HBO’s World Championship Boxing at the CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Nebraska. Crawford’s opponent, Dierry Jean (29-2), did everything he could to make it competitive, which resulted in an entertaining fight with random outbursts of high-level excitement.

Jean looked good in the early part of round one as he countered well and did not allow his offense to be exploited by Crawford’s athleticism. Crawford struggled to find a rhythm, but it was a difficulty with his hands finding a home, opposed his fantastic footwork being an issue in setting up his offense.

I would not call Jean aggressive in the first, evident by his 7 punches landed total in that round, but he was the aggressor by comparisons to Crawford. It was a close enough round, and one that Jean made more about him based on expectations coming in, until Crawford landed a beautiful counter right hand that sent Jean to the mat.
