## Resource

#terencecrawford #errolspencejr #timtszyu 🎙️ Nearly three years after the biggest defeat of his career, Errol Spence Jr. is pulling back the curtain on what went wrong before his undisputed welterweight showdown with Terence Crawford. In a recent "All The Smoke Fight" interview, Spence revealed he went 6-7 weeks without sparring during camp, relying primarily on pad work because he couldn't find quality southpaw sparring partners. Spence also admitted he wasn't fully living the disciplined fighter lifestyle outside the gym and says the wear and tear eventually caught up with him. Are these legitimate explanations for a historically one-sided super fight, or are fans right to call them excuses after the fact? We'll break down Spence's comments, revisit Crawford's dominant ninth-round TKO victory, examine how history views both fighters today, and discuss whether Spence can still rewrite the final chapter of his career. 🚨Join this channel to get access to the perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcKT39KR_e3ZliHe4cyC06A/join #boxing
