We’re finally here. DeSoto native Errol Spence and Terence Crawford, the two best undefeated welterweights in the sport, will meet July 29 in Las Vegas. A...
. Instead, Crawford fought David Avanesyan last December and won by technical knockout. Crawford’s resume has victories over talented fighters such as Shawn Porter, Kell Brook, Amir Khan and Jose Benavidez Jr. He’s won his last 10 fights by either knockout or technical knockout, which can disprove a lack of power among his skills. Crawford last went the distance in a fight in 2016, when he defeated then-undefeated Viktor Postol by unanimous decision.
“I’m very comfortable with my career right now,” Crawford told KETV-TV in Omaha, Neb.. “I feel like I’ve accomplished a Hall of Fame career and I’m happy with where I’m at. I’ll be satisfied once this job is done.”Spence’s resume is full of victories over outstanding fighters such as Danny Garcia, Mikey Garcia, Lamont Peterson, Brook and Porter. Spence returned from major injuries and looked fantastic.
Each time Spence returned it wasn’t for a tuneup fight, it was against a talented opponent with a legit chance to take his belt. Spence had an agreement to fight Manny Pacquiao in a career-defining bout before his eye injury canceled that event. Ugas took Spence’s place and defeated Pacquiao in a stunning upset.
When cleared by doctors to fight, Spence defeated Ugas, setting the stage for Crawford or a move to the junior middleweight division. When talks slowed with Crawford, Spence looked toward Keith Thurman as a possible opponent. In truth that was a placeholder if Crawford didn’t sign a contract to fight.“Great things take time,” Spence said on ESPN. “I mean we’re both going through negotiating things. But we’re here now. All that stuff [is] in the past. This is the present.
Reports say a rematch clause is in place for these two. Rematches are only good if the first bout is an outstanding event.No more excuses for Spence-Crawford, because whoever wins this fight will have a legacy-defining win.
