Terence Crawford’s two-word message to Errol Spence after dominant victory

Crawford made history by becoming a two-weight undisputed champion when he stopped Errol Spence Jr in the ninth round of their Las Vegas super-fight

Terence Crawford’s immediate words for Errol Spence Jr after stopping him in their Las Vegas super-fight were simple and concise, telling his rival “great fight”.

The welterweight duo made history with a massive event in Nevada last night, which saw Crawford crowned the undisputed 147lb champion and the first man to ever hold undisputed titles at two weights. Perhaps most remarkable of all was the performance, which saw the undersized fighter completely dominate his much bigger opponent, dropping him three times.

One key to the appeal of the bout was the lack of outlandish promotion from either side; with the pair even powering through rocky negotiations to make things happen. Crawford had even picked up the phone and called Spence personally as talks began to veer away from the fight taking place.

So the brief words of respect from Crawford after the fact were not surprising, with the new champion speaking highly of his rival in the post-fight press conference. “This meant everything to me,” he explained after the fight. “I want to give honour to God for blessing me to be able to be here and to perform in front of each and every one of y’all.
