What reply did Errol Spence Jr give to the agitated Crawford fans?

After every undercard fighter was done with their workout and training, Errol Spence Jr stepped on the canvas and spoke with the PBC. At the very beginning, he asked the fans to tune in on Saturday night or show up at T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas. He claimed that this fight will be remembered for generations as he knows that both of them are going to push harder and harder to win the contest.

Well, amid his great speech, some fans created some hindrance, as they taunted the Unified Champion by calling him ‘goldfish’ instead of the ‘Big Fish’. So, Spence snapped a little. “There ain’t no goldfish here baby. It’s a ‘Big Fish’,” he said. Then later in the interview, he stated that he’s been away from his children which has made him more focused and he’s meaner than ever now. Currently, his sole motto is to shut down all of his doubters.

He continued, “The main thing is I just want to shut people up, especially people behind me talking about their goldfish here. It’s stap season, Man down.” So Spence wasn’t ready to take anything from the Crawford fans. Anyway, he believes that it’s going to be an action-packed fight and everybody needs to tune in for this one.

Spence needs their fight to be as interesting as it can be, and he believes his fight against Crawford will be more entertaining than Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao. But Crawford doesn’t resonate with his sentiments. He has a different approach to this bout.

Terence Crawford doesn’t mind being a “boring” winner

Whatever gets the job done as long as my hand is raised at the end of the night.” While Spence is trying to provide entertainment to the audience, Crawford just wants to box according to the situation.
