Terrence “Bud” Crawford not only appears in Las Vegas to fight against Canelo Alvarez – he has already declared the result. Less than 24 hours before the opening bell, Crawford unveiled a $ 15,000 Rolex submarine with ’42 -0 ‘on the back. Not “41-0, maybe 42.” Not “TBD.” Just straight carved into gold like the fate already sealed.
It is either the ultimate bending … or the kind of thing that gods love to punish.
Is Crawford to manifest the victory or tempting disaster?
Crawford’s sponsor, Watchguys.com, dropped off the customized piece in his Vegas suite. In addition, Bud picked up a $ 5,000 dadet for his eldest son, because nothing shouts family that binds like “Here’s a Rolex, boy, Daddy is about to fight a Mexican legend in front of 65,000 people.”
But that engraving is “42-0” more than jewelry. This is a message. Crawford jumps two divisions to fight Canelo, the most bankable name in box, at Allegiant Stadium. Each oddsmaker’s Canelo favorite. And here is Crawford, who has laid off all his victory in Swiss steel. Trust or pure hubris? Depends on who you ask.
The record of the Guadalajara icon-63-2-2, four weight divisions, countless belts-talking. He is the Bookies’ choice, the favorite of the crowd, and the one fighter in box that a football stadium could sell out on a week’s notice.
Crawford? He bets on his legacy, his unbeaten record, and now his jewelry on this one night. If he wins, that Rolex is historic. If he loses, it’s an uncomfortable pawn shop story waiting to happen.
The right fight is hours away
Tonight at Allegiant Stadium, 65,000 fans will watch two undisputed champions collide in a battle box, which has not been seen in decades. Crawford’s Rolex says he leaves 42-0. Canelo’s silence says he plans to hit the gravering in scrap.
Either way, we’ll find out if $ 15,000 is buying your confidence … or a curse.
