Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. had a big loss this weekend, but fans are still behind the hometown hero.
Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. suffered his first career loss on Saturday to longtime rival Terence"Bud" Crawford.In the post-fight press room on Saturday, former WBC/WBA/IBF welterweight boxing champion and DeSoto native Errol Spence Jr. said he'd just had a"little off night" as he took a seat alongside his trainer, Derrick James. He had just suffered the first loss of his career.
Crawford knocked Spence down with hard-hitting jabs and hooks in Round 2 and twice in Round 7; by Round 9, the referee stopped the fight and awarded Crawford a technical knockout. The massively bruised Spence would protest the stoppage by the referee as Crawford celebrated; however, the decision would stand.
Both fighters agreed upon a rematch option before signing contracts for the super fight and later announced that the winner of the first fight chose the weight class of the rematch bout. During the post-fight interview, Spence revealed his desire to move the fight weight from 147 to 154 pounds in the rematch. After sharing that it’s also hard for him to make 147 pounds, Crawford obliged.
North Texas hip-hop was present in Sin City on Saturday to support Spence with appearances by stars Yella Beezy and BigXThaPlug, who walked the southpaw boxer to the ring performing his hit song “Texas.” Immediately following the fight, both artists spoke to the media about the loss.. “Whoever [Spence] fights next, I feel bad for them. You gotta take some Ls and shake it back. He’s going to shake back, and I feel bad for whoever he fights next.
