Terence Crawford was not pleased with how his teammate and colleague of Omaha, Nebraska, Steven Nelson failed to use the disadvantages of the Diego Pachec Summary Candidate's game game last Saturday night at Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas.

The left canopy
Former world champion Crawford says he shouted the whole fight to Nelson (20-1, 16 ko) to throw the left crochet because Pacheco (23-0, 18, 18) turned to him, revealing his back with his defensive tactic.
All Steven could say in his defense was that he got a cut over his left eye in the third and saw Yellow on that side.
Nelson, 36, did not use this mana. Indeed, he led the wrong fight in the first ten rounds, and only at 11th and 12th rounds he followed for the lean Pachec high 6'4 ′ like a genus, overwhelming him with blows and pressure. It was too late at the time, and Diego, 23, survived and won 12 rounds unanimously by the judge's unanimous decision.
Too late, too late
However, this did not prevent him from fighting fiercely in the last two rounds to be close. He was supposed to be in the attack much earlier instead of waiting until the end of the fight to go to Pachec.
The result was 117-111, 117-111 and 117-111.
The statistics of the final blow of Pachec against Nelson
– Diego Pacheco – 132 of 464 kicks for 28.4%
– Steven Nelson – 77 of 560 shots by 14.8%
Terence Crawford: “I was trying to tell you the whole struggle. He (Diego Pacheco) continued like this (facing his back). Throw the fucking hook, ”Tedrence Crawford said in the locker room, teaching Steven Nelson because he failed to use the openings that had been there all night in his fight against Diego Pachec.
Steven Nelson: “I couldn't see his eye (left). He was orange and yellow. So this s *** right here. I hesitated to catch me here. So it was difficult to do that with ***. Blood. You know, right after I got a cut in the third round, it all started. ”
