00:00I feel great, you know, it was
00:29one of those missions that we was on and we wasn't going to let nobody or nothing take
00:35it away from us.
00:47I felt great, it was no different from 147, to be honest.
00:52Israel just was a strong opponent, you know, we knew that coming in the gate.
00:59I don't know, they have their moments, you know, both of them is very strong, but Majumov
01:09was strong, he was strong.
01:15It wasn't like disrupting me or anything, it was his patience, he was just patient,
01:23he was just waiting, he'll faint, faint, faint and just keep fainting until he get a little
01:28closer, a little closer.
01:29So he was real patient in there, he wasn't rushing in with nothing, he wasn't winging
01:34those wild, winging shots like we normally seen them in the previous fights, he was very
01:39disciplined.
01:40Well, you know, the right hand wasn't bothering me, you know, I wasn't really too much worried
01:55about the right hand, you know, he landed a couple of times at the end of the round
01:59where he was trying to steal a round, but I just was trying to counter him, but at the
02:07same time, he had a good game plan, he had a lot of faints and I was just trying to dictate
02:13when he was going to come and a lot of times I was wrong.
02:16Did you feel the fight was like an offensive counter fight, like when you got both weighted
02:20and he kind of took a step, you kind of like raced through each other a little bit?
02:25Yeah, sometimes, you know, like I said, he was just waiting on me, like he was doing
02:30a lot of movement, but at the same time he was trying to counter me like I was trying
02:33to counter him, so it was a mixture of counter to counter.
02:37Did you see a lot of yourself in Majima?
02:40No, I won't say all that, because I was touching him up with the jab, I think my jab was beating
02:46him up all through the fight, but, you know, he landed a couple of right hands that was
02:54telling for the judges to go, or the fans, but it wasn't nothing that I ain't never seen
03:01before.
03:02Was there anything that surprised you about Majima, was there anything that surprised
03:05you?
03:06No, we knew he had good movement, we knew he had good head movement, we knew he was
03:13strong, we knew he was durable, you know, if I was to say anything that surprised me
03:20it's his patience, you know, he was real patient in there.
03:24Someone with 10 fights, did that surprise you at all, how does he compare to the other
03:30top opponents that you faced?
03:31I won't say that he surprised me with 10 fights, because you got to understand, he got over
03:37300 and something amateur fights, so he know how to fight, he know how to move around in
03:42the ring, he knows how to capitalize on people mistakes, he's been around the game for a
03:47minute now, just because he got 10 fights that don't mean nothing, look at Lomachinko
03:52and all these other fighters that's getting title shots with 15 fights, 2 fights and stuff
03:58like that, because they on the fast track because of their amateur pedigree.
04:03What did you think about Eddie's reaction to the scorecard, I don't know if you heard
04:08him on your way out of the ring, but he tried to make it seem like there was some sort of
04:12robbery or that the scorecards were wider than they should have been.
04:15Man, you got to understand, that's his fighter, you know, he's going to say anything that
04:20he can to hype it up, you know, he know that guy lost and so do his team and so do he.
04:28Terrence, can you talk to us about the sense of occasion tonight, it was an incredible
04:33event to be at, you really soaked up the atmosphere on your walk in, you had the biggest smile
04:39on your face, it was an incredible event to witness for us, in the media, for the fans,
04:46can you talk to us about how it made you feel?
04:48It made me feel great to see all the stars, all the people that came out to support Terrence
04:54Crawford and Majimoff, you know, I understand that it was a lot of talented people on the
05:00undercard, but all in all, they came to see Terrence Crawford, you know, when you look
05:05at the stands and the people, when they start filling up the seats, it's when Terrence Crawford
05:11was getting ready to fight.
05:12What was your toughest fight that you've ever fought?
05:15Nah, I wouldn't say it was my toughest fight, you know, I think Mean Machine was a tough
05:23fight, tougher fight than that, I think Gamboa was a tougher fight than that, I think Benavidez
05:28was a tougher fight than that, you know, I might have got the knockout, but those were
05:32tough fights in their own right.
05:34But for years we heard...
05:36Oh, my bad, shout out to Turkey, happy birthday, I hope you had a good birthday, you know,
05:44we put on, I appreciate you for coming to America and putting on for the United States,
05:51hope you have a great birthday.
05:53So for years we heard from segments of the boxing public, you were on the wrong side
05:58of the street, you couldn't fight certain people because of emotional divides, Turkey
06:04delivered a, not just a fight for you, but an event, can you talk to us about that?
06:11Well, you know, it's politics, politics was blocking me out, a lot of the media was blocking
06:19me out because I wouldn't talk to them because they was switching up the narrative where
06:24they was wanting to be loyal to a certain promotional company, you know, and it didn't
06:30make it no better that I didn't care, you know, so we here now, everything happened
06:37for a reason, the cream always rise to the top, you know, and if you look around, I'm
06:43the last man standing, and I was the one that they was talking so bad about.
06:47Alright, no more questions, but are you happy to fight in other parts of the world?
06:52Do you feel like you got your revenge on all of them, you know what I'm talking about,
06:56what's your take on that?
06:58Shit, look at me, you know, look at me right here and look at a lot of them in the same
07:04room that was talking so negative about me, they want to get interviews, they want to
07:10sit up and shake my hand and be friends and, you know, at the end of the day they want
07:16to say it's just business, it's just business, I don't hold a grudge against them or anything,
07:21I just say hey, it is what it is, everything happened for a reason, and for that reason
07:26being I'm still at the top, and I'm still, you know, undefeated, I'm still a four-weight
07:33world champion, a two-time undisputed champion, a two-time ESPY award winner, you know, fighter
07:41of the year, like, what more can you ask for Terrence Crawford?
07:46I don't know, we'll see.
07:52The gloves?
07:54No, not really, my coach had addressed some things that he didn't like about Israel's
08:00gloves that he didn't like about it, he brought it to the team attention, and of course, you
08:08know, we're going to back our coach.
