Transcript

00:00 Well, the Errol Spence-Terence Crawford weigh-in has just been completed here in Las Vegas.

00:04 Both fighters making the 147 pound weight limit.

00:07 Both fighters very respectful of each other at the weigh-in as we head into Saturday's

00:11 Superfight.

00:12 Two questions I have going into this fight.

00:15 They both involve Errol Spence Jr.

00:17 One, the level of activity for Spence at this point.

00:20 He has fought just twice since a near-tragic car accident back in the fall of 2019.

00:26 There were two high-quality wins.

00:28 One was over Danny Garcia, one was over Yordanis Ugas, but he has not fought since April of

00:34 2021.

00:35 That worries me a little bit.

00:37 Also, the ramifications, the fallout from the accident.

00:41 That worries me a little bit as well.

00:43 Some people I've talked to have wondered, is Errol Spence Jr. the same fighter since

00:48 that accident in 2019?

00:50 He has looked maybe a little bit more tentative in those fights, and that could cost him going

00:54 into this mega fight against Terence Crawford.

00:57 So it is going to be a massive fight, a massive event.

01:00 Both fighters on weight.

01:01 Credit to both fighters for making this fight happen.

01:04 It's going to be a great event here in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
