Revenge between Americans Terence Crawford And Errol Spence has no historical value or sporting component, boxers will only make a lot of money, says former regular WBA welterweight champion Alexander Besputin.
In late July, Crawford defeated Spence by ninth-round technical knockout and became the undisputed welterweight champion. Spence suffered the first loss of his career. On Thursday, ESPN, citing comments from Spence’s trainer Derek James, reported that the boxer would use the rematch clause with Crawford, but already in the light-middleweight division. Crawford is the first-ever undisputed world champion in two weight classes (welterweight and first welterweight) in the four-belt era.
– Personally, I would be interested in seeing their revenge at the top middleweights, although I don’t think anything will change. When they say Spence somehow approached the fight the wrong way, that he’s too big for welterweight. And before that, they were saying Crawford was too small for welterweight. That is, Spence entered the previous fights in top form, but here, allegedly, with the weight of the problem, with functionality… In the first fight, on the contrary, it seemed that Crawford had descended from the upper category . . Crawford broke him mentally and physically. Revenge can only be achieved for money, because this revenge has no historical value.
The first fight was too one-sided. I don’t think Spence took even one round. And somewhere from the third round, there was Crawford’s dominance. I repeat, I would watch their rematch, but there would not be as much interest as in the first confrontation. It’s just a big game of promoters here, I’ll just be happy for the boxers who will earn a lot of money,” Bespoutine told .
Timofey Tszyu, who plays for Australia, who will become the WBO champion in this category on September 30, boxing in the first middleweight division.
