Bud has recently had a 24-k gold ($5000) mouthpiece made, emblazoned with the Husker “N”. The creator of the piece reported that Bud said it is “for him to wear when he knocks out Canelo Alvarez.” 😎

Got get ‘em, Bud!

I’ve been doing Thrill of the Fight on the oculus since my kids got it for Christmas. Now I feel like I can step in the ring and go toe to toe with Bud. And it’ll last 15 seconds instead of 3 seconds.

Crawford is a bad man. Given the chance, I believe he will KHTFO. Can't wait.

he's a masterpiece of speed, power, intelligence, and flow.
Pretty sure I have seen every fight (even an early one where his nickname was, Hunter, not Bud). He has all of that and street toughness. He is a rare, rare bird.

I watched a special on YT about Jack Dempsey yesterday. Had no idea he drew a live audience (twice) of over 100k and produced the first $1,000,000 gate. He too was an absolute dog. I also got to see, sadly, what he would have done to me in a fight. At 6’1 and 190 lbs, he took out a guy who was 6’6 1/2”and 245lbs. I was glad it was in black and white, so I couldn’t see the big guy’s bloodied, bludgeoned face real good. That hit too close to home!😳
