From Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, presenting the reigning, defending, undefeated, WBO welterweight champion of the world, Jeff The Haunted Hawn! Gentlemen, that said, Mr. Hawn, Mr. Crawford, gentlemen, let's do this. Remember last summer, a little six-month-old baby, and she has come here, her family has come here to Vegas to see this, the great challenge to take on the simply sublime, excellently skilled Terrence Bud Crawford. We are underway for the world title fight. Crawford and Hawn. Robert Byrd, the referee, to break fighters on the inside as he does. To be able to get work done on the inside. He gets out just far enough, and he tries to counter, just like there. Getting after it pretty early here. There's a check, because Hawn lunges in just like that with his head. Hawn comes in with a right hand that lands flush on Crawford. Crawford bagging out. Comes back in, and there's Crawford that does check that right hand hook. We understand the weight issue yesterday on the scale for Jeff Hawn. His body has changed. He's far more muscular. Pretty good-looking opening rounds here, and good exchange there. Has Crawford able to land? Hawn had the big right hand. Crawford had a couple good combinations, including the work to the belt. Three-time fighter of the year, the current 2017 ESPN. Here's Hawn coming in, trying to land a right hand. And there was that opportunity for that right hook. Back is the trainer of Bud Crawford. Bernardo, what was he saying to Bud at the end of that last round? He told Bud he's got to move. He's not moving straight back. He's got to look for angles and not straight back. That's the key. Very aggressive, very awkward as he switches charges and achieves seconds. A bigger guy, I like Hawn. Undoubtedly a bigger guy. Naturally the bigger man. There's a left hand that comes in from Hawn, and then they tie up on the inside again. This is an opportunity. He can't get greedy, though. Hawn will fire back at him. There's Hawn trying to get to work on that round from Bud Crawford. That was the signature punch of that second round. Absolutely, and those shots will take effect later on in the fight. We're listening to Glenn Ruskin. He's done on him, the hook on Jeff Hawn, major motion picture coming out, all that centering on the relationship of trainer to fighter. Right hook, charging in with a right hand, and now they exchange it. Hawn steps back with his hands down, trying to reset. And he's following him out with combinations that time. Fully on the inside. There was another right hand from Hawn that came in there. I am stronger, I am in my prime. There is Debra and her son, and all that Bud Crawford overcame to arrive to this mountaintop of a career concern with Jeff Hawn. If you recall, Hawn got cut in training camp last time. Just falling forward that time, defensive flaw. Crawford couldn't take advantage, but a left hand hits the mark. And a good left hand and a combination from the American. Dropping his hands, moving out at distance, close distance, close range, over the right eye. Another look at it right here. Terrence following him out, and Terrence is smart enough to follow him and land that one-two. They put a grease on the right eye of Jeff Hawn. Round number four, 46 of those he's thrown. We noted that earlier in our Tale of the Tape. If there is one stat you look at with Bud Crawford tonight, he has Crawford up three-zero. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. How so? Ricky Haddon was trying to get close, trying to get to him. As the fight go on, fighters weaken. I mean, there's nothing that Hawn is doing here that's going to slow down. Crawford was insistent when I spoke. I'm not nearly as... ...who vie for that title to be called the world's best. Tonight would be a crowning achievement to become a three-division champion if Crawford keeps up like that. Blocking counters, capitalize on all the mistakes Hawn is doing. Hawn is not even using his... A ninth round as Hawn did against Pacquiao. And with the skill level you're seeing with Bud Crawford, now you see why. Well, Bud Crawford don't want to be here. If he's there, he wants to be here. Hawn said, I'll test his soul. I think it's quite the opposite. I think that Crawford is testing Hawn's soul. He's pushing him around. Crawford's in control here in round five. Giving the best of the Aussie. Exactly what happened in the tenth round against Manny Pacquiao when he was almost TKO'd. Broken rhythm pressure. It's basically moving in and out, herky-jerky type of style. You know, giving him different looks. Dropping low. Many attacks. Changing levels. ...of his size and his age. Right now, Hawn is coming up, at least against Crawford, the limits of his talent. Hawn, right now he's choosing to sit back and just wait on Hawn to come in. To catch him. And that's come forward. And he's paying the price for it now. He's trying. I mean, he's giving his best. Best foot forward. Rushton says, you just got to land a few shots. It's a lot easier said than done, even on the inside. Good uppercut that time from Bud Crawford. The left hand landed. His undisputed championship with a body shot knockout of Julius Ndongo. ...combat arm. You want to go inside and try to, like, hook me up? Okay, I'm good there. Now he's going downstairs. That hurt. That hurt. That could do or have done. If it goes that long. Halfway through the title fight. And Crawford in control. Great Bud Crawford. I don't see a sense of urgency. It was like jabs on Terrence early on. Surprised Terrence with those shots. We've heard more of that. Martin? Yes, the head almost come through. But you see that. They need that miracle. They need to find that magic that they found somehow late against Pacquiao. And I don't think that's going to happen. You don't see that often out of Crawford. Oh, left uppercut. ...of the judging in the fight against Pacquiao for Jeff Horn. And that is the case with Adam Height. Then there is Burt Clements, the veteran incredible U.S. judge. It's not that they're not allowed to clinch. We have one of the veterans sitting with us ringside tonight. Joe Cortez is our ESPN Plus. Crawford switched back right-handed. And he did that. There is the left hook. That left hook is deadly. There it is as it backs up Jeff Horn. And now back to Southpaw. See him lay on that left side? Punching between punches. And a flush left hand. And here comes Bud on the attack. Half minutes ago in round 8. Can he finish him? Strafing shots to the head. Horn is hurt. Body shot lands with the right hand as well. Off balance. Left hand came just short. 8th round by Bud. Division champion. With a round like that in evidence. He got caught with a left hand. Thrown off him as well. But Horn fought back. Dominated the finish of that fight to go on in winning. Young man worked hard to get the title. Let him fight it out. Takes his one go of it. And he's still coming forward. Crawford knows he's weakening. He's stepping to him. I don't think we're there yet. It's a consideration. I disagree. Big left hand. Right hook. Uppercut sends him back. Another. 40 seconds to go here in round 9. Let's see what Crawford does with it. Here he comes. Backs him up with a left hand again. Horn's in the corner. Uppercut lands. Crawford on the attack. That's it. Here in Vegas. Bud Crawford on top of the world. He is tough for anybody in the walk away division. We have been blessed. Ladies and gentlemen. Here at the MGM Grand of Las Vegas. Referee Robert Bird steps in and calls a halt to the bout. The official time. 2 minutes 33 seconds of round number 9. The winner by TKO victory and now the new undefeated WBO welterweight champion of the world Terence Bud Crawford.
