He is the only male fighter to be undisputed champion in the 4 belt era (WBA, WBC, WBO, IBF) for the 140 lbs and 147 lbs division. In the post fight interview Crawford thanked GOD. He talked about how he was never given an opportunity citing he was not good enough by the competition which why he was never given an opportunity. Spence when interviewed was gracious in defeat. Said his timing was off and said Crawford was the better man.
