The fight ended a majority draw. While one judge scored it 29-27 in favor of Crute, the remaining two scorecards read 28-28.
Naturally, Crute was not satisfied with that outcome and jumped at the opportunity for an immediate rematch with Menifield. Crute believes he has his opponent figured out ahead of Saturday’s fight.
“What’s good about a rematch is I’ve got a feel for someone, and I rely a lot on feel in a fight. I know what Alonzo Menifield’s about, I know where he is strong, I know where he’s weak, I’ve analyzed him more than he can possibly understand, and I’m going to take him to where he does not want to be.”

Crute has a rare opportunity for a do-over, and a chance to show he is levels above Menifield, as he believes. With a healthy chip on his shoulder, his intention is to show us how great he is come Saturday.
“I want to make this right. He should not have been in that first fight; it should have been a first round demolition job,” said Crute. “I feel like I’ve got the ability to put him out whenever with whatever I want, whenever I want, so this fight is going to be a lot different. I’m going to make an absolute statement on July 8.”
