For Terence Crawford, a sparring session barely differed from an actual fight. The intensity he brought inside an arena, which helped him defeat 42 opponents without any loss, mirrored the exchanges against random fighters while sparring. Crawford used those sessions…
UFC lightweight Drew Dober recalled an early sparring session with boxing champion Terence Crawford in North Omaha that left him bleeding heavily. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Dober explained that Crawford quickly switched to southpaw and landed a jab that caused his nose to gush blood within the first 30 seconds. The intense two-round session left Dober bruised and forced him to miss work the next day.
The article highlights that other high-profile boxers, including Timothy Bradley, Shakur Stevenson, and Amir Khan, have shared similar accounts of Crawford's intense sparring sessions. Crawford later attended Dober's UFC 277 bout against Rafael Alves, offering ringside advice that helped Dober secure a third-round stoppage victory.
