Spence vs. Crawford: Round 1

Interesting opening round. Spence pushed the action much of the three minutes, jabbing (although he didn’t land many) and targeting Crawford’s body. He probably won the round. However, neither guy landing anything of consequence.

Spence vs. Crawford: Round 2

Spence went down from a left-right combination with about 20 seconds to go in the round. He didn’t seem to be hurt; maybe stunned, though. The round had gone back and forth before the knockdown. Spence appears to be OK.

– Michael Rosenthal, Boxing Junkie

Spence vs. Crawford: Round 3

Spence came out on fire, turning the first part of the round into a brawl. He didn’t get much accomplished, though. And it was Crawford who landed the quicker, cleaner shots after the first minute. Crawford looks sharper right now.

– Michael Rosenthal, Boxing Junkie

 

Spence vs. Crawford: Round 4

Huge round for Crawford. He dominated Spence, landing almost at will. And he’s not taking much in return. Crawford is comfortable, in control and evidently just better than Spence. At least so far.

– Michael Rosenthal, Boxing Junkie

 

Spence vs. Crawford: Round 5

This is stunning to watch. Spence is an unbeaten pound-for-pounder and Crawford is embarrassing him. Making matters worse: Spence landed a really hard left to Crawford’s chin and it didn’t faze him. Spence will have to hurt Crawford to win, it seems.

– Michael Rosenthal, Boxing Junkie

Spence vs. Crawford: Round 6

Better round for Spence. Very aggressive, did some decent body work. But he continued to take big shots from Crawford, who is still playing the sharpshooter effectively. He landed a right jab that snapped Spence’s head backward.

– Michael Rosenthal, Boxing Junkie

Spence vs. Crawford: Round 7

Spence went down twice, once from a counter right hand about a minute into the round and again from a right hook in the final seconds. Crawford is just schooling Spence. I picked Crawford to win the fight, but I didn’t see this coming.

– Michael Rosenthal, Boxing Junkie

Second knockdown:

Spence vs. Crawford: Round 8

More of the same. Spence opened the round boxing more than he normally does, meaning he was more defensive. Not much happened for a while. Then Spence became more aggressive and he just eat punches for his trouble. Another strong round for Crawford.

– Michael Rosenthal, Boxing Junkie

Spence vs. Crawford: Round 9 (it's over)

The fight is stopped!! Crawford was landing shot after shot, prompting referee Harvey Dock to save Spence from undue punishment.
