*. *In anticipation of this superfight, Teddy Atlas sits down with Crawford
for “Inside The Ring with Teddy Atlas and Terence Crawford,” a one-hour
special analyzing the pound-for-pound superstar’s biggest fights and his
progression to becoming one of the world’s best fighters today.

*Teddy’s Takeaways*
“Whether through the actual physical experience or the magic of television,
most people have stepped into the batter’s box on a baseball diamond,
visited–or at least peeked–into the huddle on the gridiron and shot a few
free throws on the hardwood of a basketball court, but few to none have
ever been inside that squared circle called a boxing ring. This new show
takes you into that seemingly black hole where most have never ventured,
and shines a revealing light, so that you walk away saying, ‘I’m glad I
did.’ And even better, you can do it without getting a bloody nose.”

“I knew that Terence Crawford had both the physical skills and the mental
fortitude it takes to be a special fighter. I also appreciated his ability
to be diverse in the ring. What I wasn’t sure of before, was whether the
great things he was able to do were part of his innate ability or just part
of his consciousness. Did he realize what he was doing at times or did he
just do them? What I found out may surprise you and I’m hoping it sheds
a better light on what makes him tick and so well. I spent a day with him
breaking down film of his most important and formative fights.”

*Highlighted Fights include:*
*Crawford vs. Breidis Prescot, March 30, 2013*
Crawford’s major American TV debut and a dominant performance against the
fighter who knocked out British superstar Amir Khan in the first round.

*Crawford vs. Ricky Burns, March 1, 2014*
Crawford traveled to Scotland to meet Burns and won his first world title,
the WBO lightweight crown.

*Crawford vs. Yuriorkis Gamboa, June 28, 2014*
In his hometown of Omaha, Crawford made his first title defense against
2004 Cuban Olympic gold medalist and former unified featherweight
titleholder Gamboa. Crawford stated at the time that Gamboa was his
toughest fight to date.

*Crawford vs. Viktor Postol, July 23, 2016*
The highly anticipated Super Lightweight unification fight. Both fighters
entered the ring a perfect 28-0. With the victory, Crawford staked his
claim to division supremacy and set himself up for bigger fights.

*Crawford vs. Julius Indongo, August 19, 2017*
The Super Lightweight unification fight between Crawford and WBA
(Unified) and IBF champion Indongo.
