News of the 16th of September (editor 史正丞)Late Saturday night, local time in the United States, legendary boxer terence crawford defeated Mexican champion canelo alvarez in Las Vegas, and became the first boxing champion in the history of world boxing to unify the gold belts of three levels and four major organizations with a career score of 42 wins and 0 defeats.
The "Battle of the Century" was also broadcast live by streaming giant Netflix, attracting 41 million viewers worldwide.
Among them, also includesBuffett, chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, who just celebrated his 95th birthday at the end of last month.He and several friends spent the night at Omar’s home, witnessing this historic moment.
Buffett, 95, said (relayed through a spokesman): "I'm a huge Crawford fan. Normally I would never stay up after midnight on a Saturday night, but this time I made an exception.”
Public information shows that Buffett and Crawford are Omaha's native, and they've been together for a decade.
According to Buffett’s memories, when he went to the scene to watch “six or seven” Crawford’s games, he gave a profound tribute to the boxer’s middle-western stubbornness. Buffett said: “Crawford is a pure Omaha man, and he emphasizes his Omaha ancestry whenever he has the opportunity.”
Buffett also likened Crawford's ring skills to a solid investment-first testing the opponent in the first few rounds, and then formulating a strategy.The analyst also said that Crawford was difficult to hit, and at the same time his kick was heavy.
Crawford's victory last Saturday was also the most important victory in his long career. He upgraded two levels to face the Mexican star, who was widely favored by the market. Generally speaking, a heavy boxer will suffer in strength, but Crawford didn't show this shortcoming. He continued to contain and consume Alvarez, and formed an advantage in the second half of the game.
According to historical data, the two first met in 2015. Crawford was in Omaha at the time, and a local fan named Warren Buffett was brought into the dressing room to greet him. The following year Crawford was also invited to the office of Berkshire Hathaway to interview Buffett for an hour.
It is that Buffett did not offer any investment advice, but instead shared some wealth advice to Crawford, such as “money always comes,” “don’t take money as your all,” “when you have money, take responsibility” and so on.
In Crawford's view, he has one prominent thing in common with Buffett, who is worth more than 100 billion dollars. He once said in a public interview: "We were both shy.Crawford, for instance, said that Buffett still lives in the house he bought in 1958 for $3.15,000, which makes it “unthinkable” that he was a billionaire.
It is known,Buffett sometimes opts for cheaper grandstand tickets when he goes to Crawford gamesCrawford also explained to his old friend that a lot of people sitting next to the table might stand up, and for Buffett, it is unlikely to keep up with the crowd, while sitting on the table to see everything, is a good place for him.
