Via Chris Williams: Errol Spence Jr showed his sympathy to Terence Crawford as he braced himself for the first defeat of his career as the two battle this year for the undisputed weightlifting championship.
Spence was a good guy when he committed to Crawford ahead of time about his ability to take the first setback.
It won’t be the end of the world for Crawford if he loses to Spence, as he will still be 38-1, and if he can deal with the cubs, Jaron “Boots’ Ennis and Vergil Ortiz Jr, he will be able to come back and win a world title.
147-lb WBO champion Crawford (38-0.29 KOs) is still undefeated after 14 years of playing professionally, but IBF/WBA/WBC champion Spence is getting the Nebraska native ready to take a beating. firstly.
The undisputed match between Spence vs. Crawford still needs to be negotiated and there’s always the possibility that the fight won’t go through. But a major roadblock was removed from the path causing the fight with Crawford to expire with his contract with Top Rated.
While that increases the likelihood of a Spence vs. Crawford, but that’s no guarantee. The match still needs to be negotiated, and it’s too early to tell if a fight can be made.
It’s not a good sign that Crawford is making a big deal about him being ranked high on the pound-for-pound list, which means nothing in terms of popularity. ; he may have the odd idea that it puts him on par with the 147-lb Spence IBF/WBA/WBC champion.

Spence (28-0, 22 KOs) has the right idea not to waste time talking about the fight with Crawford until the deal is done. The last thing Spence needs is to devote time and energy to a battle that may never come to fruition.
Suppose Spence wants to talk about a war that has a better chance of going. In that case, he should talk about pairing it with some of the highly ranked 154-lb contenders like Tim Tszyu and Sebastian ‘The Towering Inferno’ Fundora.
Those are the contenders that Errol will need to beat for the world championship title as he moves up to the junior middleweight division.
Terence Crawford: “You’re a comedian now, I see you must be on that yack.”
Errol Spence: “Lol Nah, we’ll save it for after I beat yo a**.. but you know it won’t be funny for you when that bell rings.
Crawford: “Errol Spence Jr, look at that guy’s profile. That’s the guy who hit you in real life, not the guy you posted to get likes. ”
Fence: “No Lies 38-1 is still a great record.”
