Dominant Terence Crawford defeats Errol Spence to become undisputed welterweight champion

At the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas early on Sunday, July 30, Terence "Bud" Crawford improved his perfect record to 40-0 while handing Errol Spence Jr. his first loss.

With his steady one-step advantage against Spence and near-perfect game plan execution, Crawford put on an absolutely exceptional performance.

By being the far busier fighter and creating combinations off of his jab, Spence won the opening round.

While gathering information and moving on to the second round, Crawford didn't respond very much.

Billed as the fight of the year, Crawford vs Spence was a spectacle that drew big names such as Mike Tyson, Floyd Mayweather, and other greats to attend.

When Bud knocked Spence out for the first time in his career in the second round, it quickly changed the course of the fight.

As the fight moved through the opening rounds, Crawford stepped up the tempo as his hand speed and precision proved to be strengths.

The 35-year-old Crawford was successful with his jab as Spence continued to advance.

Spence twice dropped to the canvas in the seventh round but did display some toughness to beat the count both times extending the fight he was losing on the cards.

With the victory, Crawford keeps his WBO welterweight title while unifying it with Spence's former WBC, WBA, and IBF titles.

Crawford walked out by Eminem now cements his status as one of the greatest in the sport with two undisputed reigns in two divisions.
