Overview

• McIntyre said the plan against Canelo was to fight southpaw, keep him on the inside, keep turning him, and take away the right hand so Crawford’s left could land first.
• He credited Crawford with executing everything drilled in camp, citing precise punch selection, “catch and release” counters, and conditioning work that helped him absorb Canelo’s power.
• Asked about retirement, McIntyre said Crawford likely has two or three bouts left rather than stopping now.
• McIntyre indicated he would not oppose a move to 160 pounds if Crawford wants a new challenge, with a drop to middleweight discussed in media as a possibility rather than a decision.
• Crawford celebrated the victory with a hometown parade in Omaha after becoming the undisputed super-middleweight champion and the first man to be undisputed in three separate divisions, improving to 42-0 with 31 knockouts.
