In an eagerly awaited unification bout that captivated boxing fans worldwide, Terence Crawford displayed a breathtaking performance to claim victory over Errol Spence and become the first undisputed welterweight champion in nearly four decades. The bout, which saw two undefeated American stars face off, was hailed as one of the best matchups in the sport’s history.
From the opening round, it was evident that Crawford’s talent was on full display. Despite a competitive start, he quickly established his dominance, knocking down Spence in the second round and twice more in the seventh. The sold-out crowd of 19,990 at the T-Mobile Arena witnessed an exceptional display of power, precision, and ring generalship from the 35-year-old fighter.
UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya was in awe of Crawford’s performance and dropped a comment under the boxer’s Instagram channel:
“Masterfully done.♟️✨”
With this victory, Crawford now holds all the recognized world titles at welterweight, a feat not achieved since 1986. Spence, known for his deliberate come-forward approach and methodical southpaw jab, proved unable to counter Crawford’s dynamic switch-hitting style and expert counter-punching.
The defeat marked Spence’s first loss in 29 professional fights, leaving him impressed by Crawford’s speed and accuracy. Despite his best efforts, he could not match Crawford’s remarkable performance.
Reflecting on his triumph, Crawford expressed gratitude to Spence and his team for providing him with the opportunity to prove his worth. Having earned 11 consecutive knockouts since moving up to 147lbs, Crawford claimed the pound-for-pound top spot without a doubt.
Israel Adesanya, the renowned UFC fighter known as “The Last Stylebender,” had expressed his excitement for the highly anticipated super-fight between Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. Both fighters aimed to make history by becoming the undisputed welterweight champion, a feat never accomplished in the division before.
Leading up to the fight, Adesanya confidently predicted the outcome, asserting that in the sport of boxing, undefeated records are bound to be broken sooner or later. While he admitted that he was not extensively familiar with the boxing styles of Spence Jr. and Crawford, he remained certain that the “0’s have to go,” implying that one of the fighters would suffer their first defeat.
In his analysis, Adesanya praised the power and skills of both fighters, noting their abilities to knock opponents down in unconventional ways. He particularly highlighted Crawford’s craftiness with his footwork in the ring.
As the fight approached, the anticipation and excitement surrounding the clash of these two world-class welterweight champions reached a fever pitch. Fans from both boxing and MMA communities eagerly awaited the showdown to see who would emerge victorious and etch their name in history as the undisputed champion.
