In a momentous event that left the boxing world in awe, Terence Crawford achieved an extraordinary feat by becoming the first undisputed welterweight champion in the four-major-belt era. His resounding ninth-round TKO victory over Errol Spence Jr. was nothing short of exceptional, showcasing his unparalleled skill and dominance inside the ring.

From the outset, it was evident that this fight between two highly skilled fighters would be a clash of titans. However, Bud’s boxing masterclass was on full display as he systematically outmaneuvered Spence, dropping him in the second round and asserting his dominance from that moment onward. Spence, on the other hand, found himself in an unfamiliar position, knocked down three times throughout the fight. Crawford’s calculated approach allowed him to neutralize Spence’s strengths while capitalizing on his own. Moreover, he might have predicted this back in 2018 when he came out with a bold statement regarding this bout.

Terence Crawford’s prophetic words come true

Interestingly, Crawford’s victory was not merely the result of his exceptional skill and preparation; it was also a testament to his foresight. In 2018, five years before the bout, Crawford boldly predicted the outcome of his eventual matchup with Spence. He also claimed that people would start making excuses if he beat ‘The Turth’ about how he was weaker at 147 pounds.

“When I stop him, you’re all gonna say he was too weak and he stayed at 147lbs too long,” he said.
