Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. have reportedly agreed to a deal to fight for the undisputed welterweight championship on July 29 in Las Vegas. Boxing fans have long been waiting for this fight, and once again, they may witness ‘Bud’ square off against ‘The Truth’. In Stephen A. Smith‘s opinion, Errol Spence Jr. vs. Terence Crawford, the fight he has been clamoring for, is the contest that “everybody wants to see“.  However, when he passed the same views to Mike Tyson on First Take recently, ‘Kid Dynamite’ was of the opinion that “they took too long“.

In addition, Tyson said, “Mr Crawford, he’s not active enough.” Likewise, when Mike Coppinger of ESPN shared the news of Crawford vs. Spence Jr. on July 29, a number of fans felt the bout was too late. While some disagreed with Coppinger’s statement which branded the bout as “the most anticipated boxing match since Mayweather vs. Pacquiao,” others lacked excitement.
