Crawford continues with the attack and Spence is just being punished by Crawford. The Referee who had let this fight continue long enough, decides to end the fight. The time of the stoppage was 2:32 9th round. Crawford dances in the ring in celebration with his family which was what the Spence camp said he would not do.



Crawford makes history. Crawford is a 3 division champion (135lbs, 140lbs, 147lbs). 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.
