What proceeded were 12 gruelling rounds as Crawford was made to work to retain his undefeated record and belt in a new weight class.
He said after victory: “I knew he was going to be tough.
“Like I said, I knew all about him when I went to Uzbekistan and they were telling me so much about him.
“He’s real strong, he’s durable, he took a lot of good shots and he got me to round 12.”
Saudi boxing powerbroker Turki Alalshikh revealed an offer is on the table for Mexican superstar Canelo to face Crawford.
Canelo first returns in September against Edgar Berlanga while Crawford would need to jump another two divisions and 14lb.
But he said: “You know what I say, if the money’s right, we gotta fight.
