After the event, Crawford hinted that a meeting with fellow undefeated welterweight boxer Errol Spence Jr could be on the cards.
In a post-fight news conference, he said: “This was a one-fight deal.
“Hopefully, we can go to the drawing board and these big fights come about in the near future.”
Crawford and Spence have not yet faced each other despite years of trash-talking and failed contract negotiations.
They were due to fight in November, but negotiations fell through once again.
The highly-anticipated bout is now expected to take place next year.
Just moments before Crawford’s clash with Avanesyan, Spence was involved in a major car crash.

Punching Techniques
There are seven types: Left Hook (right hook), Right Hook (uppercut), Cross (cross), Straight, Overhand, Underhand. Each punch is different. Some punches are more powerful than others. For example, an uppercut requires great force. A straight punch, on the other hand requires less power and is quicker than other punches.
There are also different combinations. These are combinations of punches that work together to achieve a specific goal. One combination can have many parts. A combination may include multiple parts. For example, damage to the jaw of an opponent can be caused by a left hook and a right cross.
Guard Techniques
A boxer protects himself by using his body. He does this by using his legs, arms, elbows, hands, knees and feet.
Legs
To defend against kicks, a boxer should use his legs. When he’s hit, he raises his right leg and runs away from the attacker. If the attacker is coming from the front, he will bend at the knees to avoid getting kicked on either side. If the attack is from the side, he will bend his knees to avoid being kicked on the side.
Elbows
Because they inflict pain, elbow strikes can be very effective. You can either deliver an elbow strike directly, or indirectly. Directly means that you hit your opponent with your forearm while indirectly means that you hit him with another part of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use the power of their hands to block any incoming blows. Boxers use their hands to stop incoming punches. They raise their fists up above their heads and move towards the attack. Then they make contact with the attacker’s fist.
Knees
When receiving a blow to the stomach, abdomen or chest, a boxer should bend his knees to absorb the impact. Knee strikes can be used to defend yourself.
Feet
Boxers should respond to being attacked by their opponent by standing back and delivering counter-attacks. This allows him to put distance between himself, his opponent, and the ring. In addition, when delivering a counter-attack, a boxer should keep his balance.
Stances
To box effectively, a boxer must establish a stance. The way he defends himself will be determined by his stance. It is how he positions himself and where he faces the opponent. Boxers have many stances to choose from. These are some of our most favorite:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Body Movement
To win a fight, a fighter must move around the opponent. This involves changing position, speed and rhythm.
Rotation
When a boxer throws a punch, he rotates in order to increase the reach of his arm. Different types of punches require different speeds for the rotation.
Combinations
The timing of each individual punch affects the effectiveness or failure of a combination. A combination that works well starts with strong punches and ends with weak ones is a winning combination.
Spare parts
Sparring is a practice session designed to improve boxing skills . A sparring session is where a boxer trains both his mind and his body. Sparring is a way to learn how to fight without getting hurt.
Learning to box takes dedication and patience. You need to train hard and long in order to become a better boxer.
