Clips have surfaced showing Terence Crawford sharing his expertise on defensive strategies, giving Nico Ali Walsh valuable insights that could shape his young career. Crawford, now a four-time world champion, made history as the sport’s first two-division undisputed champion, with his most recent victory over Israil Madrimov adding another chapter to his storied career.
Meanwhile, Muhammad Ali‘s grandson, Nico Ali Walsh, has been making a name for himself, recently capturing headlines with his win over Sona Akale, a rematch that came on the Teofimo Lopez-Steve Claggett undercard.
The teaching moment centered on avoiding hooks. Crawford demonstrated how keeping the chin close to the shoulder while jabbing with the lead hand can protect against an outside hook.
He also advised a slight body turn to absorb impact, with a reminder to keep the guard raised-small details that can make a big difference in the ring.
For fans, however, the real highlight was the interaction itself, an exchange between an established boxing champion and an eager student.
Fan reaction to the clip
Many viewers admired Crawford‘s willingness to share his hard-earned insights, praising his humility and generosity. This kind of mentorship shows how boxing’s tradition of passing down knowledge continues to elevate the sport for future generations.
“He’s going to need a lot more lessons from Bud if he’s going to catch up with his Top Rank hype; the marketing for him during his fights makes me turn the channel every time,” a fan said.
Another added: “How can you not love Bud? This guy lives boxing, and lately we’ve really seen him passing on his knowledge to the next generation (not saying Ali Walsh is that really, but still). I hope he stays this involved once he retires.”
