OT: Bud Crawford update

[ZaneHickey]

Bud has recently had a 24-k gold ($5000) mouthpiece made, emblazoned with the Husker “N”. The creator of the piece reported that Bud said it is “for him to wear when he knocks out Canelo Alvarez.”

Got get ‘em, Bud!

I’ve been doing Thrill of the Fight on the oculus since my kids got it for Christmas. Now I feel like I can step in the ring and go toe to toe with Bud. And it’ll last 15 seconds instead of 3 seconds.

Crawford is a bad man. Given the chance, I believe he will KHTFO. Can't wait.

he's a masterpiece of speed, power, intelligence, and flow.

Pretty sure I have seen every fight (even an early one where his nickname was, Hunter, not Bud). He has all of that and street toughness. He is a rare, rare bird.

I watched a special on YT about Jack Dempsey yesterday. Had no idea he drew a live audience (twice) of over 100k and produced the first $1,000,000 gate. He too was an absolute dog. I also got to see, sadly, what he would have done to me in a fight. At 6’1 and 190 lbs, he took out a guy who was 6’6 1/2”and 245lbs. I was glad it was in black and white, so I couldn’t see the big guy’s bloodied, bludgeoned face real good. That hit too close to home!
