Everything goes to the fact that on November 19 in Las Vegas (USA), the leaders of the P4P rating, American welterweight champions Errol Spence (28-0, 22 KOs) and Terence Crawford (38-0, 29 KOs) will determine the absolute in a face-to-face confrontation.
Favorite coach Brian McIntyre
answered to the most frequently asked questions: “How do I rate Spence? Believe me, very high. But I know Terence like the back of my hand. I know how much he wants to go against Spence, how much he wants to conquer this division and become an absolute. Yes, this is a very difficult task. Especially in a confrontation with a fighter like Spence. But take my word for it, Terence is ready for this – both mentally and physically.
McIntyre seems to have been fed up with critics, who remind him that at 66.7 kg Crawford’s level of opposition is unimpressive: “I’m tired of hearing that Terence hasn’t really beaten anyone here. You know, as soon as he becomes an absolute, all this talk, all this shit will disappear.
On Crawford’s other possible opponents: “Jaron Ennis is a phenomenon, an incredible fighter, a great kid. He has a great team behind him, led by his father. I am sure that if there is such an opportunity, if worthy conditions are offered, then we will consider the option of holding a fight with him. Jermell Charlo? Who is more dangerous, him or Spence? I think they fight the same way. I would still bet on Spence, as he has a better resume and he has achieved more in boxing. And he has never lost before. And this, believe me, is also important. It’s a different kind of thinking.”
Earlier, Andre Ward analyzed in detail the superfight Spence – Crawford, and promoter Bob Arum predicted the outcome of the fight.
