In what was the super fight of our generation, Terence Crawford put on a masterful performance that led to him earning a ninth-round TKO victory on Saturday night over Errol Spence Jr. at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV. Many were surprised that Crawford was that dominant against Spence in a fight that has been desired for the last five years. Twitter exploded, as did the arena when the referee stopped the fight, making Crawford the undisputed welterweight champion.

Bud is beating Spence up. With all the pent up frustration of being undervalued. Letting folks know what's up with the meanest . @ShowtimeBoxing @premierboxing #SpenceCrawford

Crawford is ridiculous. Total domination. Pound for pound it's Bud and the Monster and then a big gap. Bud Crawford is a welterweight for the ages. From the stock of the Four Kings ... he's that good. Hail the King of #boxing!!!👑

Crawford by TKO. I expected a decision win by him. I did NOT expect an absolute ass-whipping! @terencecrawford destroyed @ErrolSpenceJr. I take no pleasure in saying that. Love’em both. But it’s just the truth. Haven’t seen this kind of whipping since Trinidad destroyed Joppy.…

Whoever rehydrated spence should be fired. Not to take away from Crawford but Errol did not look good at all
