Errol Spence vs Terence Crawford full card results: Crawford knocks out Spence in 9th for undisputed welterweight crown

T-MOBILE ARENA, LAS VEGAS — It was expected to be a war but only one man showed up.

The long-anticipated showdown between pound-for-pound superstars Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford ended up being a brutal domination by Crawford as he knocked Spence down multiple times and finished the fight in dominant fashion with a 9th-round TKO.

Crawford becomes the first fighter in the four-belt era to become undisputed at welterweight and is the first male fighter to become undisputed in two different weight classes in an absolutely spectacular performance that likely unseats Naoya Inoue as the No.1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world.

Crawford (40-0, 31 KOs) came into the fight as the WBO champion and had stopped all seven opponents he faced since moving up to welterweight from junior welterweight in 2018. Many expected Spence to be his toughest test to date. But it wasn’t even close.

After entering alongside hip hop superstar Eminem with “Lose Yourself” blaring from the arena speakers with a litany of celebrities in the crowd, the fighter from Omaha did anything but lose himself in the atmosphere of a big fight. Instead, he turned in what may be the best performance of his career.

Spence (28-1, 22 KOs) tried to use his powerful jab to set the tone but Crawford was fully prepared for the pressure that his rival expected to come with. In the second round, Spence was caught in between punches by a Crawford counter and sent to the canvas for the first time in his career.

And it was all downhill from there.

Crawford routinely rattled Spence with power shots and counters as the crowd roared at deafening levels throughout the fight. It only got worse as the rounds wore on for Spence. He tried to settle into his gameplan of applying pressure but Crawford was having none of it.

Crawford dropped Spence again twice in round seven and it was all-but over. With celebrities such as Chris Brown, Damian Lillard, Shannon Sharpe, Chance the Rapper and others pulling their phones out to capture the finish, Crawford took his time and tortured Spence with potshots.

Spence valiantly attempted to fight back but was torn apart by another combination that sent him reeling across the ring. A bevy of power shots followed and caused the referee stoppage.

“Strap Season” was over and there would be “Smoking Bud” on this night. Spence suggested that he would activate his rematch clause but with such a one-sided fight, it’ll be difficult to see that ending any differently.

For now, there is only one champion at 147 pounds and his name is Terence “Bud” Crawford.
