Terence Crawford pulled off an extremely comfortable victory over Errol Spence Jr. last July via a 9th round TKO to become the undisputed champion in two weight classes. This made him the first male to accomplish this feat in the four belt era.
Errol was undefeated before he faced Crawford. He boasted a 28-0 record and was the WBC, IBF and WBA (Super) Welterweight champion. He was considered a major contender to beat the undefeated Crawford. However, he looked very vulnerable in the bout, getting caught with a barrage of jabs and hooks. Post the loss, Errol activated his rematch clause.
Crawford has probably made it clear he’s not interested in the Errol Spence Jr. rematch anymore. Teofimo Lopez took a dig at Crawford and stated he only fought injured opponents, to which Crawford replied viciously.
And @TeofimoLopez yo little bitch ass better worry about them little guys that’s on yo ass down there in yo weight class. It crazy every time I see yo hoe ass you don’t even look my way, but when you in front of a camera you got so much to say. You a pussy.
