Crawford vs Spence: preview
Opposite sides of the same coin, Terence Crawford and Errol Spence were made for each other, and after five years of near-misses and frustration, they'll finally face off under the bright lights of Vegas in an undisputed welterweight championship showdown that's drawn comparisons with Marvin Hagler vs Sugar Ray Leonard, and Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao.
Spence's IBF, WBC and WBA (Super) belts and Crawford's WBO title are on the line, but it's the preservation of their respective unblemished records that both fighters are more concerned with. Crawford has fought 39 times since 2008 and never shown a hint of weakness, while Spence, who made his pro debut in 2012, has 28 bouts under his belt and has spent the last six years successfully fending off challengers.
This is alpha against alpha, southpaw against southpaw, a clash between arguably the two best pound-for-pound boxers in the world, and the matchup is a thing of beauty. While Spence is the younger and taller of the two fighters, the reach advantage belongs to Crawford, who's also been the more active boxer partly due to the retinal tear that Spence suffered two years ago.
There's almost nothing between their respective knockout percentages – 79% for Spence and 77% for Crawford – which are both ludicrously high. The main card starts at 9pm ET / 2am BST. The Terence Crawford and Errol Spence ring walks are expected at around 11.30pm ET / 4.30am BST. Here's how to watch a Crawford vs Spence live stream from anywhere with a VPN if travelling overseas.
