The echoes of Errol Spence Jr.’s destructive loss at the hands of Terence Crawford still reverberate through the hearts of boxing fans. It’s been several months since the unforgettable night when ‘Bud’ Crawford took apart Errol Spence Jr. in a one-sided affair. However, fans and pundits alike are left wondering what went wrong with ‘The Truth’ that fateful night. Shedding light on the potential reason behind his out-of-character performance, a world-class trainer appeared in an interview.
Coming to the potential reason behind his poor performance, Edwards hinted at the weight class. “I don’t know if it was the weight or whatever…All I can say is that’s one of the reasons why…sometimes it’s not a benefit to wait fights out,” told Edwards. He also suggested that Crawford was a little bigger while claiming Errol should have fought when he was more comfortable. “One guy is a little big…you got to make the fight when you more comfortable…to make the weight,” said Edwards.
Later in the interview, Edwards claimed he was hesitant about talking about the weight because it discredits Crawford’s performance. Edwards also stated that since Errol is not making any excuses for the loss, he can’t make excuses for Errol either. “[Errol Spence] he not making no excuses for himself, so we can’t make no excuses for him,” said Edwards.
