After dismantling Errol Spence Jr. with a ninth-round knockout on Saturday night in Las Vegas, new undisputed welterweight champion Terence Crawford was recognized by the boxing world.
One of those who took off their hats was Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, who was quick to congratulate "Bud" on a great night of boxing.
Crawford not only dominated Spence from start to finish, he also sent him to the canvas three times in one of the most important fights of 2023. The Omaha, Nebraska native maintained his undefeated record with his 40th win in as many fights, while handing Spence (28-1) his first loss.
