In a highly anticipated superfight, Terence Crawford put on a masterful performance, dismantling Errol Spence Jr. to secure a ninth-round TKO victory and claim the undisputed welterweight championship. The bout took place at the electrifying T-Mobile Arena, and it turned out to be a one-sided affair in favor of Crawford.
Right from the early rounds, Crawford showed his dominance, sending Spence to the canvas in the second round with a well-placed left hand to the body followed by a southpaw jab. Crawford continued to control the pace and tempo of the fight, landing powerful shots and showcasing his exceptional counterpunching skills. Spence, on the other hand, struggled to find his rhythm and seemed unable to match Crawford’s precision and timing.
As the rounds progressed, Crawford’s relentless assault continued, and he managed to floor Spence twice more in the seventh round, further solidifying his dominance in the match. The Texas native, Spence, appeared bloodied and swollen as the punishment from Crawford mounted. In the ninth round, Crawford dealt Spence a crushing blow that buckled him, leaving him vulnerable to more unanswered shots. Referee Harvey Dock intervened and stopped the fight at 2 minutes and 32 seconds, showing mercy to the bruised and battered Spence.
Despite Spence’s protestation of the stoppage, it was evident that Crawford had convincingly won almost every round, with the exception of the opening frame. The victory elevated Crawford’s status as ESPN’s top pound-for-pound boxer, cementing his position as one of the best in the sport.
Reflecting on his remarkable journey, Crawford expressed his elation at becoming a world champion, emphasizing that he had always been an overachiever and had defied the doubters throughout his career. The victory held special significance for Crawford, as he became the first fighter to hold all four welterweight belts simultaneously.
Crawford’s dominance in the welterweight division is unparalleled, with his impressive record of 40 wins, 31 of which came by way of knockout. From his first world title win against Ricky Burns in Scotland back in 2014 to his ascent to undisputed champion at 140 pounds and now at 147 pounds, Crawford’s career has been nothing short of extraordinary.
