OT: Canelo vs Crawford ?

[jibsey]

Crawford post fight did something that almost supersedes the victory but hasn’t been mentioned here yet. He went to his opponents post fight press conference, put his arm around Canelo and gave the personalized championship belt back to Canelo! He said that he held it for so long he was deserving and would have another one made for himself. Canelo seemed very touched by him showing up to do this.
This is just great sportsmanship especially in a violent sport that often focuses on braggadocio. Others inside sports and out should take a clue from this.

Returning of the belts is standard, but not often caught on camera or done immediately post fight/in person. Usually they go back to the sanctioning body who then decides if they want to return them to previous champ. The new champ always recieves their belts by mail. Definitely great to see those exchanges after going to war with eachother.

Canelo and Bud have a great respect for eachother and are both stand up professionals and ambassadors of boxing.
