| 0:00.0 | I could intro this one with one sentence. Today's guest, the fighter of the decade, Terrence, Bud, |
| 0:06.2 | Crawford. But instead, I'll do my job. You'll learn today that he's truly retired, and he'll let you |
| 0:12.3 | know why greats like Muhammad Ali played a role in that decision. Outside of that, though, |
| 0:18.3 | Bud had accomplished everything he wanted to. |
| 0:23.9 | I mean, dude checked off his goals one by one. |
| 0:27.6 | So much so, he wasn't even celebrating the wins any longer. |
| 0:29.0 | So what's left? |
| 0:33.1 | We talk his biggest fights for both him and the boxing world and why he never had to behave like the baddest dude in the arena to prove it against fighters |

| 1:18.9 | that he loves them and he wants them. |
| 1:21.5 | The Newly Crown, 2025, Fighter of the Year, believed that his name belongs with the |
| 1:26.1 | greats of every era. Names like Jones Jr., |
| 1:29.1 | Pachial, Mayweather, and I believe his speech said it all. The boy from Nebraska has proved |
| 1:35.3 | that anything is possible. So tighten your gloves and keep your hands high because this is a banger |
| 1:41.2 | with Terrence Bud Crawford starting on the pivot right now. Got the key. Only fidging I can trust. Trust. Limon it. Nick's stomach kind pinning it. |
