Terence Crawford has revealed what he told Teofimo Lopez Sr during a heated exchange at yesterday\u2019s weigh-in for Teofimo Lopez<\/a> vs Shakur Stevenson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The two pound-for-pound stars came face-to-face for the final time before their super-lightweight clash, which takes place in the small hours of tomorrow morning at Madison Square Garden, New York.<\/p>\n

With both of them keeping below the 140lb limit, there was no drama on the scales but rather a brief confrontation that ensued between Crawford and Lopez Sr.<\/p>\n

Holding his son\u2019s WBO world title, Lopez Sr appeared to be taunting \u2018Bud\u2019 \u2013 a close friend of Stevenson \u2013 while prancing around in a bizarre manner.<\/p>\n

In response, the former three-division undisputed champion, who announced his retirement last month<\/a>, decided to approach the father and trainer for a few choice words.<\/p>\n

Speaking with Fight Hub TV<\/a> later that evening, the 38-year-old had no issue explaining why he took umbrage at Lopez Sr\u2019s behaviour.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just told him about himself \u2013 he knows what I said. He\u2019s just got to stop being a clown.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s cool to sell a fight but I\u2019m not fighting. Leave me alone \u2013 I\u2019m retired. You don\u2019t [have to] make antics at me.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was perhaps only natural that the respective teams of Stevenson and Lopez would eventually clash, especially when considering the history of trash talking between Crawford and Lopez.<\/p>\n

But regardless of that, the fight itself is expected to deliver a compelling spectacle which should keep fans firmly on the edge of their seats, even if there are slightly less fireworks than what has been promised.<\/p>\n

Based on their styles, this super-lightweight encounter seems likely to be more of a high-octane chess match between two elite counterpunchers, rather than a chaotic shootout between a pair of reckless gunslingers.<\/p>\n
