In October of last year, Errol Spence Jr. was dethroned by Terence Crawford. ‘Bud,’ became the first ever boxer to defeat him in the professional realm. Until now, the former champion had no one to blame for the loss but him. However, in a recent turn of events, Spence Jr. has gone under the knife for an eye surgery. On social media, he unveils that his eye condition was a lingering issue. Not to mention, he asserted that played a role in his getting punched by Crawford last match.

In his Instagram Story, he stated, “Why do you think I got hit with so many jabs and hooks?” Moreover, witnessing this, Spence Jr. has been subject to scrutiny and criticism. But to question his claim, ‘Bud,’ himself cites the boxing procedure.

Did Crawford find a loophole in Spence Jr.’s claim?

In a recent Tweet made by the undefeated boxer, he appears to wonder how could Spence Jr. get a pass to compete in the professional realm if he had an eye injury. He asserts that in every professional contest; the boxer is supposed to get his eyes checked and examine if the eyes are healthy enough to compete. Moreover, he adds that this is well-known in the boxing world, apart from casual fans. He stated, “Last I can recall we definitely get our eyes checked before every fight I’m just saying. Any boxer would know that. But casual fans will say and make up anything.”
