Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford's welterweight unification match contract is allegedly "nearing conclusion." Boxing expert Dan Rafael said on Monday that the fight is "penciled in" for either November 12 or November 19, and that Las Vegas will "likely" host it provided all the technicalities are worked out.
Good to hear. Even though it should have happened a few years ago, they are both fighting at a very high level. Should be a very good fight.
And I will likely take another dump tomorrow morning. Not guaranteed, mind you, but probably. 80% chance.
11/19 is a mere 54 days out... If they are actually deep into negotiations, then it's pretty obvious that one or both of these bums are cycling and will only finalize the fight once the timing is correct for drug testing.
It's a great fight, but when the hell are they going to sign contracts and make it official! They're making it harder than Ukraine vs Russia coming to an agreement.
It seems like they have left it marinate for too long. Still an intriguing fight but just wish it would have happened earlier this year. Crawford seems to fight only once a year. Would like to see Vergil Ortiz, Ennis get a crack at a title in the first half of 2023, they seem to have been waiting ages.
I will believe it when I see it. Not a single second before. I just dont believe them. They have been dodging each other for too long.
