New York - This past Saturday night at the Theater in Madison Square Garden, WBO junior welterweight champion Terence Crawford took care of business as he dispatched Hank Lundy in five rounds.

The build up to the fight was full of trash talking and it would all be settled in the ring this past Saturday. Lundy fought valiantly but it was too little as he was stopped by the Omaha native Crawford who continues his recent success of knockouts.

Crawford's coach Brian ‘BoMac” McIntyre wanted to stay on point with their game plane and the overall strategy was to get Lundy out of his rhythm.

“We tried to proactively catch him jumping with that right hand and catching him with the left,” McIntyre said. “Once Terence (Crawford) settled down and started boxing, the fight got easier because he was able to push him back more with his jab and come over with the right hand, and it was lights out.”

Crawford has got nastier in every fight and stamped his knockout of Lundy by sticking out his tongue.

“He’s getting meaner,” Crawford’s coach said to krikya360.com “[Before] he just wanted to win but now it’s about knocking the guy out.”

McIntyre said the trash talking definitely made Crawford hungry to make Lundy pay for his words.

“He (Lundy) tried to make Bud crack but he was the one that cracked,” stated the trainer. “He was trying to make us lose our cool but he did. He’s the one that got wide and he’s the one that was left open. It was personal because he had to talk sh*t. He had to get what he was looking for, to get that ass whooped.”
