Terence Crawford’s ninth-round TKO of Errol Spence Jr. lights up social media

Crawford, the new undisputed welterweight champion, knocked down Spence Jr. in Round 2 and never looked back.

It marked the first loss of Spence Jr.’s career and Crawford improved to 40-0 as the first undisputed welterweight champion in the four-belt era.

Praise immediately poured in for the new champ.
