World Champion Terence Crawford Serves up a Omaha Beef to Challenger Hammerin’ Hank Lundy at Madison Square Garden WORLD CHAMPION TERENCE CRAWFORD SERVES UP A OMAHA BEEF TO CHALLENGER HAMMERIN’ HANK LUNDY AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN PRESS CONFERENCE NEW YORK (January 12, 2016) — No one needed to ask, “Where’s the beef?” at today’s press conference at Madison Square Garden, where undefeated World Boxing Organization (WBO) junior welterweight world champion and 2014 Fighter of the Year TERENCE “Bud” CRAWFORD and his opponent, Top-10 contender “Hammerin'” HANK LUNDY, announced their world title rumble. Each fighter had his own beef and they weren’t afraid to serve it up. Here are their quotes. TERENCE CRAWFORD (27-0, 19 KOs), of Omaha, Neb. “I’ve always wanted to fight in New York — at The Garden — even as a small boy. Fighting in New York tells me where my career is really at and where we are going. I can get a big fan base here. It’s very exciting “Lundy runs his mouth too much. He’s about to get hurt real bad. But Lundy can fight. He will battle. “I don’t know what’s wrong with this dude. He better be for real about it. [Mauricio] Herrera? Lundy lost. Doesn’t matter what people think. He lost. “I used to watch a lot of old fights Uuntil I got older then I wanted to develop my own style, like, Sugar Ray Leonard, Roy Jones, Marco Antonio Barrera. “I wouldn’t be in this sport if I didn’t think I was the best. If you don’t think lthat you are the best then you are in the wrong sport. I feel like I am one of the guys that will put boxing on my back and carry the sport. I want to do that. “Best thing about boxing? I get to hit people in the mouth. And I get paid to do it. Ever since I was a little kid I wanted to fight — so why not get paid for it? “All my kids watch me fight. They see me on HBO and say, “Dad, that’s you – you won that round. “If I won Powerball would I would still fight? Boxing is my life. You bet I would.” HANK LUNDY (26-5-1, 13 KOs), of Philadelphia, PA., “I am going to break you down, Crawford. This is East Coast fighting, you homie. I’ve been a better, tougher fighter since I reunited with my first trainer, the great Charles Ramey. “I will be the big ticket seller in this fight not Crawford. We will have fans coming to see me, not Crawford — from Philadelphia, Boston and Providence. I ‘ve always fought on the road. I have fans everywhere. This is Madison Square Garden. They want to fill the place they know who to get — Hank Lundy. I’m not the ‘B’ side I’m the ‘A’ side Herrera? I was getting ready to knock him out and Golden Boy knew it. I told them I would fight him again, no purse bid. Nothing. “I’m Hank Lundy. At the end of the day. I’m one of these fighters that can fight anyone. I fought a whole fight with a damn broken jaw. I put the guy down and he kept coming. But I had a broken jaw. The next day I woke up and it looked like I had grapefruit on the side of my face. “I’ve got five kids. When I was 18 I was taking them to the gym with me, one on my arm and one in the stroller. Nothing stopped me. They’ve been with me my whole career. They know what it takes to work hard. “You already know what’s going down. It’s my time. Crawford’s going to be going down early and often. I’ve been in there with the best. Nobody flat out beat my ass and nobody will. That’s why I keep getting these fights. That’s Philly fighting –.Broad Street Bullies. “I’ve known Crawford since the amateurs. He’s a tough guy. If he’s the best I’m about to show you something. It’s about to be Hank Lundy night at Madison Square Garden. “This guy is scared to fight me. I’ve been moving all over to try to get him. I’ve got him now. If I’m under his skin now wait till fight time. One thing about it, I back it up. If you want to talk stuff you’ve got to back it up. You’ve got to have tough skin in this game. “My kids said, “Dad you’re going to fight Crawford. You’ve been waiting for that.” ***************************** The Crawford vs. Lundy world title fight will take place on Saturday, February 27, at the “Mecca of Boxing” — The Theater at Madison Square Garden.

  • Boxing: Rising Stars Expected to Shine Bright in NYC
    Boxing: Rising Stars Expected to Shine Bright in NYC Author : Robert D. Cobb This Saturday, HBO Boxing will be live from the city that doesn’t sleep, New York City, as Top Rank Promotions will be presenting a doubleheader of two rising stars in the sport of boxing. Omaha’s finest, Terence Crawford, steps into the ring and defends his WBO junior welterweight title on the line against Philadelphia’s own, Hank Lundy, and also in what will be the fight that gets the crowd most hyped, the face of the future of Puerto Rican boxing, Felix Verdejo, will be facing off against William Silva. Terence Crawford (27-0 with 19 KOs) is a highly skilled boxer that is one of the new rising stars of the sport. He has dominated every one of his opponents, he has put on good live shows in his hometown of Omaha, and most importantly, he seems to want to be “The guy”. Crawford has taken a step back this year from the run he was on in 2014 when he faced, and beat, Ricky Burns, Yuriorkis Gamboa, and Raymundo Beltran, and was mentioned in everyone’s list as a fighter of the year candidate. However, since then, He has faced 2 opponents in Thomas Dulorme and Dierry Jean that really got no buzz and has someone halted the rise he was having. Given the fact that the 140 lb division may not be as full with names as the 147 lb welterweight division, Crawford may be forced to dispense with the guys in front of him as fast as possible and move up by the start of 2017.

On this afternoon, the NABF Jr. Welterweight champion made his own charity event dedicated to the Community institution of “La Perla de Gran Precio”, a needy neighborhood in the barrio of Obrero, Santurce. “Since I’m training in California, I’m always thinking on how to help my people from Puerto Rico,” said an excited Thomas Dulorme, who is promoted by Gary Shaw Productions, and managed by Cameron Dunkin. “Today I provided food to those in need and it was an amazing experience that I will never forget. Soon I’ll be visiting more institutions. I don’t want this to be a part time Christmas gesture as I want to continue helping those that are less fortunate.” Since 1986 ‘La Perla de Gran Precio’ has been serving the needy and homeless men and women in San Juan, Puerto Rico, those with mental disorders, substance abuse, homeless pregnant women, and HIV-infected patients among others. “Thomas Dulorme is a very giving young man who is always looking to help others,” said promoter Gary Shaw. “He’s educated with a college degree and a great role model to children of all ages.

  • American Star Crawford Defends World Title Against Lundy Live on Boxnation
    AMERICAN STAR CRAWFORD DEFENDS WORLD TITLE AGAINST LUNDY LIVE ON BOXNATION London (14 January) – The next super-star of boxing Terence Crawford’s WBO World Super-Lightweight title defence against Hank Lundy on Saturday 27th February at the iconic Madison Square Garden, will be televised exclusively live on BoxNation. Crawford, a two-time and two-weight World Champion, a big favourite with UK fans’ on The Channel of Champions, returns to action as he looks to elevate into the position of boxing’s main man with Floyd Mayweather retired and Manny Pacquiao soon to be, many experts believe the exciting 28-year-old from Omaha can be that man. A hero in his hometown, Crawford, who sits inside the top ten of boxing’s Pound-for-Pound best rankings, now looks to make that transition when he makes his debut at MSG, known as the “Mecca of Boxing”, where the immortals of the sport have all plied there trade. Undefeated in 27 fights with 19 knockouts, 12 coming inside three rounds, the big-hitting and dangerous Crawford, 28, could have been a potential final opponent for Pacquaio, who instead wisely opted to go for a third fight against rival Timothy Bradley. Crawford, began his title reign when he totally out-classed Scotland’s Ricky Burns in his own backyard in March 2014 to win the WBO World Lightweight title. He then saw off undefeated Cuban Yuriorkis Gamboa, a former Olympic Gold medallist, in nine rounds in the first title defence in June before outpointing tough Mexican and former world title challenger Raymundo Beltran in November in his second title defence.

  • In the United States District Court for the District of Nebraska
    8:17-cv-00011-JMG-SMB Doc # 123 Filed: 04/09/18 Page 1 of 16 - Page ID # <pageID> IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA MITTENDORF SPORTS, a Maryland Sole Proprietorship, 8:17-CV-11 Plaintiff, vs. MEMORANDUM AND ORDER TOP RANK, INC., a Nevada corporation, and TERENCE CRAWFORD, an individual, Defendants. The defendants in this case are successful boxer Terence "Bud" Crawford and his promoter, Top Rank, Incorporated. The plaintiff is Mittendorf Sports, a sole proprietorship of Chris Mittendorf (collectively, Mittendorf). At issue is a 2011 contract between Mittendorf and Top Rank that allowed Top Rank to become Crawford's promoter: Mittendorf claims that Top Rank breached that contract by not paying Mittendorf a percentage of the purse from Crawford's championship title defenses, as Mittendorf claims the contract requires. Specifically, Mittendorf claims the contract gives him a piece of the action any time Top Rank promotes a Crawford title defense. Top Rank, on the other hand, claims the contract only gives Mittendorf a cut of a title defense promoted pursuant to a specific 2011 promotional rights agreement between Top Rank and Crawford—a promotional rights agreement that, Top Rank points out, ended in 2014. But the Court agrees with Mittendorf's reading of the relevant contractual language and will, therefore, deny Top Rank's motion for summary judgment. 8:17-cv-00011-JMG-SMB Doc # 123 Filed: 04/09/18 Page 2 of 16 - Page ID # <pageID> BACKGROUND1 In 2010, Crawford entered into a promotional rights agreement with TKO Boxing Productions, a Nevada boxing promoter.

  • Subdued Lundy Prepared for “
    Subdued Lundy prepared for “war” against Crawford NEW YORK (Feb. 25th, 2016) — The playful ribbing between Hank Lundy and Terence Crawford that began in mid-January continued at Thursday’s final press conference when Crawford’s trainer, Brian McIntyre — a former fighter himself — walked to the podium at Chase Square with a T-shirt that read, “I went to the Madison Square Garden and all I got was knocked out by Terrence Crawford,” an obvious jab at Lundy. “These will be available for Hank and his team following the fight,” McIntyre deadpanned. Team Lundy, led by CES Boxing president Jimmy Burchfield Sr., Lundy’s promoter, enjoyed a quick laugh at its own expense, with Burchfield taking the shirt, folding it carefully and placing it on his lap while McIntyre continued his monologue, merely an extension of the month-long social media war between the two sides. Though the verbal back-and-forth has helped turned Saturday’s event into a near sellout — Top Rank vice president Carl Moretti reported only 23 tickets remain at the box office — Lundy (26-5-1, 13 KOs) is leaning on a more powerful source of motivation heading into the biggest fight of his life Saturday night in New York City. “My babies are going to be right there,” Lundy said, referencing his daughters, Amiriah, 7; Adriana, 8; Amari, 10 and Aniyah, 12. “This is the first time I’m going to battle in front of my four little queens and God knows the electricity, every punch I hit you with, you’re going to feel Philadelphia, you’re going to feel my pain, my struggle.
