With the NBA season coming to an end in a few days, most players have already begun enjoying their summer. From watching the ongoing finals to even enjoying action from other sports like the UEFA Champions League final or high-stakes MLB clashes, many superstars have been spotted giving their varied opinions. Similarly, Damian Lillard was left in awe of boxer Bruce Carrington as he dominated Brayan De Gracia in a spectacular bout at MSG, even forcing the Bucks star to pass a bold verdict.
Impressed by Carrington’s 8th-round KO victory over Gracia, Lillard tweeted, “Shu Shu Carrington giving Bud Crawford vibes mane.” Of course, Dame was referring to none other than the unified Welterweight Champion Terence Crawford, who hasn’t lost in his legendary career. Winning all 40 of his career bouts (31 KOs), Crawford is one of the most dominant boxers of this era. And Damian Lillard predicted a similar fate for Carrington, who also kept his undefeated streak alive as he bagged his 12th win.
And Carrington has dominantly achieved that feat. Similar to Crawford, most of Carrington’s victories (8) are also via KO. Even tonight, he was initially scheduled to face Enrique Vivas. But he had his opponent changed because Vivas had an issue with visa clearance. Despite this sudden change, Carrington was unfazed by his Gracia, who has 29 victories to his name. “Brayan came to fight, and his knockout ratio (25 in 34 bouts) shows he’s dangerous, but I have a lot of experience to get around that and break that down.” he confidently said, after getting the knockout win.
Utter dominance by Bruce Carrington!
Then, in the fifth round, Carrington’s beatdown took a toll on Brayan as he was dropped to one knee after a hard body shot, followed by a punch to the head. Already bleeding from his nose after taking hits from Bruce, Gracia continued fighting but was almost put through the ropes in the seventh round with a lightning-fast combination from Shu Shu.
Finally, the official put an end to Gracia’s misery after Carrington forced him to the ropes again and kept hitting him with hooks until the bout was stopped in the eighth round. “He had a lot of will. More reason to break him down.” Carrington said.
With the way Carrington’s career has gone so far, Dame’s bold prediction might eventually come true, as the undefeated boxer seems to be following the same path as Terence Crawford.
