In a thrilling overtime Super Bowl matchup, the Kansas City Chiefs headed by Patrick Mahomes prevailed after a fierce struggle in which both defenses dominated. Like their Super Bowl defeat to the Chiefs four years earlier, the 49ers led by ten points early on but were unable to hold onto it as Mahomes’ squad steadily gained momentum. Terence Crawford, who was hooked to his TV, had switched sides in the middle of all of this.

Crawford posted about his excitement on X. Throughout the entire game, he remained in constant communication with the fans and provided them with information. Which team was he ultimately rooting for?

Crawford had always supported the Packers, but this time the 49ers defeated his hometown team and advanced to the championship game. Crawford supported the 49ers, even though the Chiefs might have prevailed in the game. He wrote, “Can’t beat em, join em! 49ers!!!” on his X account. Even so, he participated by repeating their catchphrase, “What they say, bang bang 9er game!!!” In a subsequent tweet, he remarked, “I can’t believe I said that.”

Anticipation was high when the NFL revealed Usher will be the featured performer during the Super Bowl halftime show in 2024, and the R&B legend did not let fans down. The eight-time Grammy Award winner had an incredible presentation at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, presenting some of his most well-known songs, including “Yeah!” Crawford was about to lose his mind for this reason and more. He tweeted once more, saying, “Usher the Goat.”

There were other games Crawford was excited about besides the Super Bowl. He took advantage of the opportunity to poke fun at Teofimo Lopez not too long ago by keeping himself informed on his bout with Jamaine Ortiz.

Crawford openly expressed his joy after Teofimo Lopez, the WBO 140-pound champion, defeated Jamaine Ortiz in a dull 12-round fight that left boxing fans unimpressed. This bout was similar to Lopez’s close victory over Sandor Martin in December 2022, when Lopez struggled with Martin’s southpaw style and had self-doubt, which was caught on camera in a viral hot mic moment.

Crawford chastised Lopez on his X account following the fight, pointing out that Lopez was more focused on him than on his opponents. In a post-fight interview, Lopez, overcome with passion from his victory, challenged Crawford to a catchweight match. Crawford wrote off Lopez’s jab as a marketing ploy. Crawford called Lopez a “chump” for focusing on him rather than his own fights and suggested that he go back to the drawing board in his conclusion.
