They let fans into the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas to watch Errol Spence Jr.’s comeback, which indeed turned out to be a miracle return as Spence got damn close to his old and best self when he defeated Danny Garcia over 12 rounds.
And one of those present was Terence Crawford, who crossed the street, so to speak, to get a better look at Spence.
Spence and Crawford circled each other, but Spence didn’t even seem interested in flirting with the idea of a fight with “Bud” when the Presser asked him about it after the fight.
A reporter asked Spence if the Nebraskan showing up in Texas wouldn’t generate an excitement to fight the top-ranked boxer.
“No, he has to live up to his word,” said 30-year-old Spence. “If he said he’s not worried about me, then I don’t know what he was doing. I probably wouldn’t go to any of his fights. “
Spence was referring to Bud’s comments on SiriusXM Friday when he said a fight with Spence was “not that important”.
“I keep telling everyone that I don’t need Errol Spence for my legacy,” Crawford said. “I don’t know why people give the impression that I need Errol Spence. He needs me I do not need him. “
I’m not sure if he decided to fight the Spence Garcia fight after making that statement or what his train of thought was with it.
“I’m not worried about Terence Crawford, like I said, I’ll enjoy my time with my kids, relax and just think about this year and a half,” Spence told the Presser. “We’ll move on and this summer I’ll see who I’ll fight. We’ll see I need to speak to my manager, Al Haymon, so let’s go from there. “
There’s an appetite for fan to get this done, but in the past few years it has been pretty clear that PBC are pretty happy with their superb world terweights and Crawford isn’t in the PBC mix.
