Whether he went 12 full rounds or got the job done before the sound of the final bell, Errol Spence Jr. seldom looked like he just got into a fistfight. More times than not, the 33-year-old was normally the one dishing out the beatings. Recently, however, Spence looked like a complete mess.
With each passing round, the swelling around his jawline got considerably worse, and the bumps and bruises around his eyes weren't getting any better. At the start of the ninth round in his undisputed showdown against Terence Crawford on July 29th, Spence (28-1, 22 KOs) bounced up and down on his toes, doing his best to keep his spirits up. Roughly one minute later, referee Harvey Dock had seen enough, officially stopping their clash.
