Multi-weight champion Terence Crawford is to boxing what a grandmaster is to chess. Crawford knows each and every line of attack that any given opponent can throw at him, and more importantly, how to refute it. Like any good chess player, Crawford is adept at setting up lose-lose situations for his opponents, inviting them to attack so that he can force a mate they never saw coming.

As Tal put it, You must take your opponent into a deep dark forest where 2+2=5, and the path leading out is only wide enough for one.

And this is the foundation of Crawfords style - setting up situations where he can anticipate an opponent’s reaction so he can counter it with knockout blows. Baiting reactions like this is known as a draw and counter, and what’s truly astonishing is the sheer number of tools Crawford has for this in his tool box. Crawford may well throw nearly every counter in reaction to every kind of punch in the same match, from either stance. And once he finds one that he thinks will end the fight, he’ll insist until the job is done.
