May 2024 · 3 minute read

Terence Crawford boasts of an unbeaten professional record. In 37 professional bouts, Crawford has kept a flawless boxing record. Although Crawford has been very dominant in the weight division, there are a few fighters that gave him a run for his money. Although no fighter has knocked Crawford down yet, there is a fighter that came very close.

As he prepares to take on Shawn Porter, let’s take a look at the fighter that stunned ‘Bud’ Crawford and almost knocked him down.

Who knocked down Terence Crawford?

Back in 2019, in December, ‘Bud’ took on the WBO mandatory challenger Egidijus Kavaliauskas. The Lithuanian challenger gave Crawford one of the toughest matches of his career. With 1:35 to go in the third round, Kavaliauskas landed a straight right that stunned the American. Crawford leaned forward and grabbed onto Kavaliauskas as he went down.

However, the referee did not think that Crawford went down as a result of Kavaliauskas’ punch. The referee ruled the incident a slip, and the fight went on. To Craford’s credit, he seemed angered by the entire incident as he came back with a vengeance to deliver a ninth-round TKO to retain his WBO welterweight title at Madison Square Garden.

“I wasn’t hurt at all, I got up and went straight to him,” Crawford said, following the fight. However, the fight replay showed a different story. “I wasn’t hurt by no means, I walked through everything he threw all night.” After that, Crawford looked to give the crowd a good fight. “I wanted to give the crowd a knockout,” Crawford said. “When I started letting my hands go, I started landing more fatal shots.”
