Errol Spence Sums Up Terence Crawford’s Power Perfectly In 2 Words Ahead Of Canelo Fight
If there is one man that knows a thing or two about the power of Terence Crawford, it’s Errol Spence Jr.
Spence suffered the first defeat of his professional career to ‘Bud’ Crawford in their long-awaited showdown at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas back in July 2023, which was contested for the undisputed world welterweight championship.
Crawford dominated Spence on the night, dropping him on several occasions throughout the contest before eventually stopping him in the ninth round to make history and become the first undisputed welterweight champion of the ‘four belt’ era.
‘The Truth’ has not fought since suffering that defeat two years ago, however it is rumoured that the 35-year-old from Long Island, New York is currently preparing for a return to the ring, potentially at light-middleweight.
Spence has since shared details of Crawford’s punching power, paying homage to the physical strength of the 37-year-old from Omaha and describing him as a ‘strong dude’.
“He’s a strong dude. I got a feel for his power probably like first, second round. You know, everybody at this top level have some type of power. But I think because my timing was off he was catching me in between shots.”
Crawford is just over three months away from facing Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez, as he bids to become the first three division undisputed champion in male boxing history. Their highly anticipated ‘mega-fight’ takes place on Saturday September 13 at an undisclosed venue in the United States, although Las Vegas is expected to play host to the monumental showdown between two of the biggest names in boxing.
