Terence Crawford vs Errol Spence Jr

[Mark TKO]

Just watched it. Wasn't expecting such a comprehensive win either way.

Fair play to spence he went for it but Crawford was a class apart.

Timing is everything. Especially in boxing. It dictates not just when, but how much power you have when you do the work of throwing punches and how much power you can take away from your opponent by leaving him no time or space to work in. Crawford dictated last night's fight with the kind of timing that makes very, very good fighters like Spence look ordinary.
I have to admit, I was a little bit sceptical of just how good Terence Crawford was, but last night's contest erased those doubts. Of course, it would be foolish to judge a fighter on one fight, but when you make a fellow P4P fighter look like a novice for long periods in a contest with this much at stake, it is hard to deny the quality of Crawford.

Spence can still have some great contests but you have to admit that even if he triggers the rematch clause there is very little he can do to disrupt the timing of a man who established such a hurtful and efficient metronome in not only beating Spence to the punch, but setting him up with combinations and traps that left Spence no time to adjust his own tempo or the angle of his own feints and punches.

Who didn't see that coming? I thought Spence's corner was going to stop the fight but the ref did his job last night. Kudos to both men on a great and memorable fight...

What else can Crawford do now? he's beaten everyone except Thurman. But do we really want to or NEED to see Crawford v Thurman?

Forget Thurman he was finished years ago.

Crawford jump up to face Charlo/Tszyu, or against a young undefeated prospect like Ennis would be a challenge.

He stops Ennis earlier than Spence. Charlo may be too big for him. He could stop Tszyu too.

What Crawford did when he came to Scotland to take Burns title was the first place to look if any in depth research needed on his pedigree , and look at how he always turns up. Perhaps he wasn't easy to promote, and/or identified as too risky/low reward and to be avoided.
