2. Inoue
I don't really care who comes after that.
All I could think early in the fight was Damn, what would be looking at if Crawford hadn’t wasted some of his best years not taking the biggest challenges for whatever reason.
35/36 years old and he looks incredible.
As fantastic as Crawford was Spence was not at the races. Taking nothing away from Crawford though. Perfect performance.
Crazy to think his top network debut was coming in as 3 day tba replacement. Nice to see full potential realized at elite level. Hard road forward for Spence here. I’m not sure jumping to 154 solves this at all.
Looking back at the ending, the ref did a great job.
Crawford right hand with hooks and jabs were damaging against Spence. Crawford stopped Kell Brooks with that jab.
First time I have seen Crawford so moved by his achievement today.
This was so one sided that there should be no rematch.
