I am happy to read the news about the upcoming match of Terrence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr.  At last after a long wait and controversy, we will be able to see these two great boxers making it out on the ring.


What's the chances this runs into a trilogy? 

I'm seeing a trilogy between them is possible if:

- if no boxing politics will ruin that or any dramas like what happened on how long this match got materialized
- if both boxers will not move up weight after their fight - for the winner despite being an undisputed champion already or for the loser, that doesn't have any interest anymore in the rematch
- if the price is right since the winner of this match should surely demand a much more share of the split in the rematch or trilogy
- if the match will end up DRAW

Anyways, too early for the trilogy discussion since even though there's a rematch clause on this match, I highly believed that it will go on a long process again, the same as what happened forming this first meetup. Aside from that, Crawford is catching up with his age and might push for the next stage of his career rather than facing Spence over and over again if he wins this match.

A trilogy is very possible with boxing politics.  First, they will make a controversial judge's decision ( if the fight doesn't end in knock-out) to trigger the need for the second match.  Then obviously they will make the loser win making it possible for the third fight, thus trilogy is created.

The poll is just about right, many of us are siding with Bud Crawford in this fight. In terms of activity, Spence hasn't fought in the last year, so I would give the advantage to Crawford. But I do expect the fight to go into the full 12 rounds. Similar to what we've seen in the Haney vs Loma fight, it's like a chess match and then in the championship rounds, we will see who wanted to fight the fight more, who has the heart.

Let's see how the first fight will conclude fight before talking of a rematch and then the trilogy itself. Even fighters says that this fight is 50/50 but in the end, give the edge to Crawford slightly.

I am also inclined to Crawford's ability to beat Spence, but of course, there are many variables in the fight like how Spence Jr. prepares.  If Spence camp is able to scout Crawford's fighting pattern, they might create a strategy to counter or nullify Crawfords's ability.  After all when two great boxers fight, the camp competion in how they prepare their boxer is like chess.

I got Crawford taking this one.  I know there is a guaranteed rematch clause if the lower wants and a third if it's split.  What's the chances this runs into a trilogy?  I haven't been this hyped about a fight for a long time.  This should be a good one.  I just hope it's not completely one sided where the lower bows out and goes a different direction.  Crawford 10th round two is my guess.

Trash talks seem to be one medium of hyping their fight and the more it gains attention and interest. Of course, their supporters will keep throwing vias decisions. But I like how it works and it changes the odds, a spike is possible to happen as the date of the fight gets closer. Both teams are preparing so well but I give my vote to Crawford, he got all the advantage over Spence. And I see his confidence to win the fight which is also a big factor.

That just shows that both of them exactly knew how to handle and market the fight because even though they know the fact that their fight will be a sold-out one, they just cannot take the chances of coming short when it comes to marketing it as there is also some factor that audience might have already lost some of their appetite due to the reasons of failing to materialize their fight few months ago plus there's the likes of April Fools prank of saying that they will announce the fight in Garcia-Davis mega fight, which also did not happen. So yes, this is their kind of thing to cover up what they have done in the recent months that have passed.
Yeah, it seems that in any kind of games there are some team who needs to have this kind of rivalry maybe in order for them to have more viewers? or to gain more popularity and bets. I just don't it when it is too obvious that trash talk and below the belt literally trash talks are not good. I give my vote to Crawford because I believe having a good kind of confidence will take him to be a champ.

A rivalry even before the event is planned is what the promoters and organizers are praying for as that literally means millions of dollars of profits to them, but sadly, even if the fight is already assumed a sold out fight even before they materialized it or even how big the hype is, sometimes conflicts between networks and politics are the main few things that hinders the fight and why some big fights that are asked by many are not happening.

Finally, the fight every boxing fan has been waiting for is now sealed. I guess this is already 99% happening. Odds are already released as well.

Yes, the fight is official sealed by both parties, odds are showing that Spence is the underdog.

Still, I think Crawford is winning this match. As a matter of fact, to be quite frank, although this is a battle of undefeated fighters, I don't see this as a 50:50 match. I agree with the odds. Spence deserves to be the underdog. The last time he fought was more than a year ago. And then he had no fight in the whole of 2021. In his last few fights, he only had a UD against the two Garcias, Danny and Mikey, and only a split against Porter, who Crawford knocked out.

I think one of Crawford's advantage here is that he can adjust on the fly, he can fight both lefty and orthodox and majority of his fights are won because of that as his opponents can't adjust to this style. And then his sharp shooting, he has a knockout power and he hasn't been chin tested in his career. As compare to Spence who almost goes down against Ugas. And if Crawford lands that left hand, we will see if Spence can hold or will simply go down because of the power. And yeah, he fought more than a year ago so ring rust might be a factor too.

Even here in the forum, a lot of users are rooting for Crawford to win. Well, this is a good challenge for Spence.
As he knows that he's the underdog on this fight, he has strong motivation to seriously prepare for this fight.
This fight is a lucrative one for both boxers, and they will be earning good money no matter what.
The OP can edit the date to July 29 though, happening in Las Vegas, Nevada.

There is also an interview on Crawford stating that Spence told him that he took the easy route and fight Porter Jr. And then Spence calling Crawford too short for the 147 lbs and then him responding by pointing out that Spence is too fat, Lol.

So yeah the trash talk has started already since the official announcement of the fight. And whenever I check social medias like Twitter, either both or one of them are trending. And with that, it means it has now gathering steam and hype (again).

Depending of the outcome because if it's already clear enough that one party has been dominating the opposite party, then maybe a rematch wouldn't be needed unless of course if there is still a hype surrounding them afterwards because that will be factor that will be looked by the promoters and organizers to push through a fight.

Anyway, let's just focus first in their first fight because we've waited this for months and months, and a rematch might look a bit blurry as of the moment knowing that it's another discussion between both camps that will go back and forth and possibly, worth a couple of months again before these two camps will agree.

Rematch will be useless in the eyes of the promoters and the boxing community if one fighter totally dominated the other fighter, for high level like these two its good to have a rematch but will totally depend on the outcome of the first match and how attractive it is to go for a rematch.
if the fight is too close they can still go for it and we'll have another hype like the first fight if the fight ended by total domination of another fighter the dominant fighter can opt for a higher take of the purse on the rematch.
So much speculation on the rematch but what we really want is to get this one over and hopefully, we'll enjoy it and live up to its hype, and be worth the spectators' money.

A rematch clause is just written on their contract if in-case such incidents will happen where the bout is close enough and the defeated side still got a chance to make a difference on their next fight, hence the name. But if there will be no clause like the one that is mentioned, then it will be useless to do a rematch even if the bout will come out so close because in most cases, the winning side will just proceed in the next phase of their career and declining about the possible rematch as they have the right to decline anything that is not written in the contract.

It was also reported that's there a rematch clause included in the contract:

Crawford And Spence Have Rematch Clauses In Contract For July 29th

This rematch between Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford is necessary, given that both fighters are champions. One fight alone is not enough for them, and personally, I believe this bout will not go the distance, resulting in an entertaining fight that could end in a knockout. Both fighters exude confidence in their ability to emerge victorious, which heightens the excitement for fans. Once the betting odds are released, it would be wise to place bets early. However, I have a hunch that, similar to previously reported betting odds, Crawford may be favored to win despite Spence holding more belts.

I guess they have to put the rematch clause to ensure that the loser will have the chance to fight again and avenge his lost. And obviously, this is a money fight, so  rematch will really give them another huge payday. Specially if the fight is close, fans are going to clamour for a fight and then willing to play to watch it live or even PPV, win-win for both camp.

Right, Crawford is the favorite, doesn't surprised me at all, perhaps bookies sees that the long layoff of Spence might affect him in this fight.

So the ball is on the side of Spence to show that he should be the favorite and bet Spence clearly be the best pound for pound.

I truly hope that this time around, the intentions are genuinely serious.

Referring to anything related to this fight, and there's already an official announcement, posted also on both boxer's respective social media platforms, even on the Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) website, we can now expect that this fight is now 100% "for real".

No more bullsh*ts, no more crap, no more dramas, no more giving false hope, etc.

Terence Crawford: "If I get him hurt, I'm Going For The Knockout"
Errol Spence: "As soon as I get in the ring, I’m stepping, and I expect him to step too. We’re going to put on a great show.”

Thanks mate, if surely has the making of a good and interesting fight, might not be as huge as Pacman vs Floyd but for sure this could be a million PPV buy easy for this two as we all know that we have been waiting for it and this is a legacy fight for them.

And it's good that we have a rematch clause at least we going to be treated for another fight.

Yes, everyone is going to be excited now, as this is official. No more waiting for us fight fans.

Crawford is the favorite, I'm not surprised though, I mean he has face tougher opponent that Spence in my opinion. And that Porter fight might be a good gauge as Spence went and it was very close fight, while Crawford just toyed with Porter and even if he is the aggressor, Crawford just want for the right time to knockout and I think that is the last fight of Porter.

I'm just surprised though that majority of boxing fans are not into this thread. They said that the want this fight and really disappointed that it was not done and should be announced in the Garcia vs. Tank fight, but here we are right now. I'm expecting that this thread is going to blow out.

Is it because many of the fans are already tired of talking and waiting for this fight to happen? And when it is finally announced, the hype is long gone? Or is it because this fight is long overdue and, contrary to what others say, these fighters aren't anymore at the top of their careers? Crawford is in his mid 30s already and Spence is just 2 years his junior. Or is it because they're not anymore the brightest stars in boxing today? Or possibly because they weren't fighting big names anymore in their previous fights? Promotion could also be an issue.

Or most likely we are still in the hype of Garcia and Tank Davis and it's after math? (Garcia switching trainer/coach).

Or the hype on the Loma vs Haney, wherein we see robbery and majority see that Loma should have won?

Or Tony weeks early stoppage on a big fight (forget the boxers though)

But still this should be talk about right now, but let's give boxing fans here some time to digest this fight and for sure this will really be one of the most discussed boxing threads.

The hype surrounding this fight is enduring. They can make it happen whenever they want, as they know people will eagerly watch and pay for the pay-per-view. The Garcia vs. Davis fight was a huge success, which likely inspired the promoters to seek their own successful event that would generate substantial revenue.

For me, it's been a long time coming to see two champions face off and provide the fans with an undisputed fight. It will undoubtedly entertain the fans, and I truly hope that this time around, the intentions are genuinely serious.
