Terence Crawford is out to get it all, like a hound who caught the whiff of the blood, he appears to have the determination of a tiger who will not stop until he hunts his prey. The statement appears ironic as Crawford’s in-ring style relies more on his footwork than sheer power. Meanwhile, his opponent Errol Spence Jr. is known better for his power. Crawford has his eyes set on remaining a three-weight-division world champion and dethroning Spence Jr.

As the highly-anticipated bout between the top dogs of the Welterweight division draws closer, ‘Bud’ has riled up fans once again with his new post.  Crawford recently posted a video on his Instagram account in which he could be seen preparing for his upcoming bout. Moreover, he had the song “Many Men”, by 50 Cent, playing throughout the video. Not only that but he also edited the hate comments he received calling him out for not working hard for the fight.

So, the champion decided to silence all haters simply through a video showing off his intense preparations. In the caption, he wrote a message to his haters, “Don’t hunt what you can’t kill.” ‘Hunter’ seems prepared to give Spence Jr. a run for his money. Recently, he even vowed to ‘Dry Rub’ Spence, adding on to his ‘Fish Fry’ metaphor. Fans were left impressed by the hard work he was putting in and showered him with praise.
