Both unbeaten. undisputed welterweight supremacy on the line. Very game right now, but he's hurt. Oh, and he goes out. He is out. Wow. Six. You go up in two different ways. Punch in between. Another knockdown score with a vicious body show. Oh my. What a body show. This was the night Terrence Crawford shattered the aura of Errol Spence. >> The jab, the uppercut, and the counter. Right hook, the left, THE RIGHT, ERROL SPENCE, AN inline skate, and the referee has intervened. >> Before Terrence Bud Crawford became a household name, he was a quiet force coming out of Omaha, Nebraska. He was a fighter shaped by survival, discipline, and a belief in himself that few outside his circle really understood at the time. Crawford's breakthrough came in 2014 when he traveled to Scotland to face Ricky Burns for his first world title. And instead of being overwhelmed by the moment, Crawford controlled the fight with sharp timing, clean combinations, and a calm pressure that slowly broke Burns down until he emerged as champion. From there, he moved through divisions with the same confidence, dominating at lightweight, then moving to 140 lbs, where he unified all four major belts to become undisputed. At welterweight, the dominance continued as he outclassed and outfought every challenger, including a statement win over Jeff Horn, where he took control early and never let go. Against Shawn Porter, Crawford adjusted, waited, and eventually became the first man to stop him. All while Crawford was wreaking havoc in boxing, Errol Spence was doing just the same. Spence didn't enter the welterweight division as just another contender. He arrived like a statement waiting to happen. He was a fighter who carried himself with the kind of confidence that suggested he wasn't there to participate in the conversation but to take it over completely. The real turning point came in 2017 when Spence traveled to the UK to face Kell Brookke for the IBF welterweight title, stepping into a hostile environment packed with expectations against him. Yet, he managed to break Brooke down over time with relentless pressure, accurate bodywork, and a level of composure that didn't crack even when the fight threatened to shift. Spence ultimately fractured Brook's eye socket and walked away with the belt in a moment that felt like his official arrival on the world stage. From that point onward, Spence's reputation only grew stronger as he defended his title against elite level opposition and continued to unify the division, most notably in his intense battle with Sha Porter. But just as his momentum reached its peak, everything suddenly came to a halt when a horrific car crash nearly took him out of boxing entirely. But he came back big time. Spence's first dominant performance after comeback came against Danny Garcia against whom he showed flashes of his old self. And then with a powerful win over your Dennis Ugus to claim a third world title. Despite everything he had accomplished, there was always one shadow that loomed over him. the presence of Terrence Bud Crawford, a fighter who had been criticized for not facing elite opposition at welterweight. That changed against Spence. The fight was signed for July 19th, 2023. Crawford was 39 and O Spence was 28 and O. The WBO, WBA, Super, WBC, IBF, and vacant the ring.
