The line on Saturday's meg fight was coming in at Terrence Crawford is the -170 favorite, Errol Spence Jr was coming in at +140. The payout on Spence simply winning would be $140 for every $100 bet. A KO by Spence pays out a sweet $550 for every $100 bet.
The 33-year-old has 22 KOs in 28 bouts and remains undefeated.
Spence is currently the unified champion in the welterweight division, having held the International Boxing Federation (IBF) title since 2017, the World Boxing Council (WBC) title since 2019, and the World Boxing Association (WBA) title (Super version) since 2022.
Spence believes it is his determination that will help him to defeat Crawford in what is being billed as one of the most anticipated boxing matches of the past few years.
“It’s really the same as every fight. You don’t want to get too excited or too emotional,” said Spence Jr.
“It’s really the same as every fight. You don’t want to get too excited or too emotional. So for me, it’s staying focused, going over the game plan with my coach, doing it over and over in my head, and just playing out the fight and making sure that I left no stone unturned so I can be 100% prepared inside the ring."
Crawford (39-0, 30 KOs), some critics say, hasn't exactly been tested. Jose Benavidez Jr. provided what many believe was the biggest challenge to this weekend's favorite to win back in 2018. Ultimately Crawford stopped him in the twelfth.
