Errol Spence Jr vs Terence Crawford • Full Post Fight Press Conference video • Spence vs Crawford

hello how's it going um no love night um the better man won tonight not here to make any excuses I definitely did the same um just you know my time was off and uh I wasn't capitalized on a couple of things and um you know his time was a lot better than mine tonight turn it over to the media for questions for Errol Spence Jr raise your hand and wait until you get the microphone right back here how was the weight cut for this fight and I wanted to follow that with the second question if the rematch had to be at 47 I know you said you want to be there again are you willing to do this rematch back at welterweight um something I got to talk to my management about but um hopefully it's a 1 54. how was this particular wake up was it a very difficult one did you feel at ease with weight cut I mean it's always the but um you know like I said I don't make any excuses a better man one tonight one last question what about Terrence surprise you the most was it his timing his power what surprised you uh nothing really surprised me um he was just like I thought it just um my timing wasn't wasn't good today questions for Errol Spence Jr hey Arrow Keith heideck from boxingscene.com what what do you attribute your timing not being there to did you feel off physically or anything or what was wrong in the fight yeah uh first of all physically but most times I get I get through it so you know I thought it was going to be just like the other times but um you know I couldn't kick it up a notch Earl Sam Gordon here with Las Vegas Review Journal um how would you contextualize or describe terence's power and when did you really get a feel for it for the first time tonight um I got feel for his power all right first second round um he's a strong dude but you know everybody at this top level have some type of power but um I think because my time was I was catching me in between shots Kevin aioli from Yahoo sports my question would be your face was swelling up really badly were you having difficulty seeing as the fight progressed oh no no I wouldn't have to do what's he saying it out I'm sorry I said no I didn't have difficulty seeing it all okay and then lastly did you feel when the fight started like did you feel good or did you feel like it was you know maybe one of those nights um I feel cool I thought you know I could um definitely do enough to uh to win the fight but I feel good and like I said I'm not here to to make any excuses I'm a grown man um I decided to agree to the weight and get down to it and that's what I did so say you know no excuses hairstyles to the champion tonight Earl straight back Dan rafiel from big fight weekend I wanted to know uh I know it's only a few minutes removed from the end of the fight how do you think you're going to deal with this going forward tomorrow next week are you the kind of guy that's going to just bad night Shake It Off and all is good or are you going to you know stew over this for a while and it's going to hurt bad uh no I'm not gonna do over it um I dated out what I was um supposed to do regardless of you know the outcome or anything like that like I said I was going to do something and I promised everybody I was going to do it so I did it as a man I stood upon my word so I'm definitely not gonna uh soak up over this and we'll get right back and I'll get to it hopefully at 154 pounds and Errol even though I mean we know how big of a fight this was everybody talked about the historical significance of this fight all through the build up all for the last several years as we waited for it to happen I wonder it's happened you go on the losing side of this one can you can you does it at least give you some silence to know that you gave the boxing public something that they had wanted for so long even though obviously it didn't go your way definitely it was inside now build up to it and leading up to it too so it's something that and I wouldn't I wouldn't change for nothing and I'm I'm definitely open to the to the rematch and uh hopefully it'll be at 154 pounds hey thanks a lot guys Morgan Campbell from The New York Times this question is for Derek or for Errol um once Bud won a couple rounds and he started to get the momentum what types of tactical adjustments did you guys want to be able to make so um just really kind of like do our best to take away what he was doing instead of kind of standing in front of him but I think that arrows you can notice well I could notice his time was off really bad and he was standing in front of him so I think that um that's kind of was the thing it was just the timing reaction time was a little slower but it's okay it's like life and come back you deal with it and you get better hi everyone Don Matthews from The Daily Mail I just wondered what you saw in the performance tonight that gives you confidence that in a rematch at 154 pounds that the result would be any different who's talking to error say it again I just wondered what aspects of the performance tonight give you confidence that you could change the result even at 154. um because I know I'm I'm a lot better than uh what I showed tonight and um I know that a lot of things was out with me and uh even though Terence Prophet did what he was supposed to do he was sharp and he was on point and he made sure he was 100 ready in this fight it's Jones ESPN and Escape but first for arrows I want to ask you what did Derek James say to you in terms of supporting you after the fight and how loyal has been to you and is this officially your last fight at 147 in your mind so you know hopefully this will be 154 but um Derek you know just just told me that you know keep my head up you know I was off and um you know trying to console me like he's supposed to Endeavor just in terms of you consoling him and how you feel about this what's been going to be your process over the next few days to be able to move on and then just go back to the drawing board on it well you know I think that in watching it I had time to uh understand what was going on from the first second round I kind of saw what was happening and you kind of like understand okay maybe eventually maybe you can catch him with a good shot maybe you can recover but it didn't work that way and it's okay I mean it's life I'm fortunate this is this is what happens in Big Time boxing somebody was gonna have to be in this situation unfortunately it was us and we'll um had to move on I mean I have to I thought I had to fly to London tomorrow so you know I can I'm gonna hold on this for a long time may not ever get over it until after we Revenge it but it's just what it is I mean you know it's life and it's got to keep it moving you gotta deal with it embrace it and move on got two more questions for Errol Spence Junior two more Marcus Hayes fight Hub TV this question is for Derek James first coach Derek I want to ask you we haven't seen arrow take as much punishment as he did tonight was there ever a point where you thought about stepping in and stopping about I really I just wanted to make sure he was okay right I didn't I didn't I saw him get hit with the big shots but I think that you can see for me I see his legs a little off but I really I really wasn't but then you think about it I'm the doctor's right here with me and we're talking back and forth and then looking at him and I'm looking at the doctors and we're talking so it's like um you know not really but you just never know and arrow we saw you go down a couple of times when you felt terrence's power particularly in a second knock down when you got up what was going through your mind at that time and um just fight back I mean I mean what you mean what's going on my time it's a boxing match so you know I was trying to I mean nothing really was going through my mind it was just you know the same stuff last question yep Cameron Buford L.A news observer um Earl Spence would you talk to talk to us about what Terence Crawford said to you after the fight oh you should ask me that but um he just said uh go fight um you know much respect and that's about it all right we will allow Errol Spence Jr to depart and you know what tonight we saw the two best welterweights on the planet colliding and I give respect to both men because they went ahead and put it all in the line a round of applause to both Terence Bud Crawford and Errol Spence Jr for providing us an unbelievable night of boxing here in Las Vegas I can get an introduction all right ladies and gentlemen now I want to

Undisputed and not one but two divisions like I said before you know this meant everything to me I wanted to give honor to God for blessing me to be here to be able to perform in front of each and every one of y'all and that's pretty much it I wanted to thank Aaron Spence and his team for me and him coming together and getting this fight under underway this is the fight that everybody wanted to see the whole world was talking about it and we put on a great show all right at this time I'm going to turn it over to questions for Terence Bud Crawford if you have questions raise your hand Terence andresdale from the sporting news uh just talked to Arrow he said he hopes to get the rematch and he would like to have the rematch at 154 pounds are you interested in moving up and wait for the rematch or does it have to be a 47. it definitely don't have to be at 47 like I said you know I'm I'm in a her business 47 was kind of hard for me too I was already talking about moving up in weight and challenging Charlo so 54 wouldn't be Outreach Of Anything I want to follow up with how did you pull off getting Eminem to walk you out tonight I don't know it was just I'd throw a rock in a haystack and he replied and you know I told him to pull up and he was like I'm there are you one of my favorite Fighters and you know that that showed you know a lot of support for me and that show where what level I'm at in the boxing world last question Nao NY was considered the number one pound for pound fighter in the world after his performance on Tuesday do you think you've definitively put a stamp on you as the number one pound fighter in the world after this performance without a doubt like I told everybody once before the winner out of this fight was going to be number one powerful pound hands down you got Aerospace was ranked number four in the powerful pound and you got Terence Crawford I was ranked number one so you got two fighters that's in the top five powerful pound ratings how can they not be a number one pound uh Terence Keith heideck from boxingscene.com congratulations on a great performance was it even easier than you expected it to be once you were in there never like I said we trained so hard in training camp that it may look easy in a ring but these fights is never easy these fights is very extremely hard because we put our body through the most in training camp and I work my ass off to get to where I'm at today to perform in front of each and every one of y'all I ever did things that was different despite you know we did a pre-camp came out to Vegas stayed for a month you know so I've been working for a long time for this just for just this one moment so it's never easy at which point in the fight did you realize that he wasn't going to be able to do anything with you tonight well the first round I feel as if I had the Speed and uh Power I felt you know uh his power and I felt as if I was the stronger fighter and uh yeah that's that's pretty much was it Andrew Jones ESPN and skate Terence and your team congratulations on a special night Roy Jones Jr told me yesterday that if you won this fight that you'll be up there as one of the all-time best pound for pal you talked about Andre Ward void May weather error now your era where do you rank yourself all time pound for pound after tonight well I'm up there you know I mean like I always want to pay homage to the fighters that came before me you know because without them there being on me wherever wherever they want to put me you know I'm up there you know it ain't my my job to put me where I want to be a short job to put me where I belong hey who came up with the fishnet idea to walk out and what you told your mom when you were celebrating behind the ring and giving it a birthday present that she wanted to give up no that's all so cold like I said it's so cold everything he came up with the idea he said man I got you bro he designed my last outfit and I told him I said man I was one of the coldest outfits that I had and he said wait till you see this one I said all right and you know his creativeness you know brought to life along with uh Everlast and then you got what you got Terence Uh Kevin aioli from Yahoo sports congratulations on their brilliant performance I wonder you when you were with top rank there were many years there would be fights on uh fox or showtime in they would list top welterweights I guess it was more Fox they were list top welterweights and you weren't even on there a lot of the time and a lot of fans would get upset about that do you feel like now when you look back like do you feel some sense of vindication that people who overlooked you for so long now you're you're at the top of the Heap and there's no doubt well I've been telling each and every one of y'all for years a lot of y'all over here looking side Ellie you looking like a ass dude over there because you was going against me you know I mean but all in all you know I get to say I told y'all because I've been asking for these fights for years and y'all been saying oh he's too small he's going to get this he's going to get broken and each and every time that I step up I proved y'all wrong each time so you know I mean write some great stories about Terence Crawford don't hate on them don't say nothing negative just give me my props yeah the other question I wanted to ask if you could comment about your trainer and the job he did in bomac if you could uh make a comment about what it feels like for you to win a fight at this level against a guy who is highly respected like Derek James well I just look at it like this man uh uh I just look at all the training that we put in all the months that we put in and uh I wasn't never worried and as far as going up against Derrick James it's a it's an honor it's an honor he's uh it was last year or year before last trainer of the year and uh you know they never really gave us our props uh you know the writers and reporters the you know artists you know all the websites so I mean I'm just glad you know his hasn't sunk in yet but it will here pretty soon we just to me I just look at it like it's another day you know and you also got to give props out to uh the whole team you got Saul Diego's right here you got red spot come on we're up here red you got Bernie the boxer uh you even got Steve so-called Nelson you know what I'm saying he helps out a lot you know he uh sometimes you see what we don't see uh you got chat chat raise your hand Chad the strict condition coach where Ashley at they go Ashley right there she's another strict condition coach we got we got chefs we got dietitians we got everything it's a team effort it ain't all about me getting my flowers if you're gonna give me my flowers you're gonna get the whole team the flowers okay Terence for IFL TV when I've interviewed you before you've spoke about the moment in your career that you thought was the best and that was against Ricky Burns does tonight Eclipse that moment no not at all like I would say once before I don't think they're ever going to be a moment to actually make me feel the way I feel when I was in Scotland that day because that was my whole dream you know uh I was filled with so much excitement to go all all the way over to Scotland being the little bit of family that I had my team and the comeback a world champion something that I dreamed of all my life as a kid my dreams came true that one night and this is definitely up there because this is a fight that's been talked about for many years this is a fight that when I walk in the store my kids watching YouTube everybody asked me when you fighting expense when you fighting expense dad this dude said you scared or Spence so me always happened to hear this guy name is like oppressive fresh air that I that I get to breathe because we finally done it and now it's done it over with Terence uh straight back here all the way in the back Dan Rayfield from big fight weekend congratulations to incredible performance from you tonight my question for you is you won so easily and he says he wants the rematch how do you go about getting yourself up once again to take on a guy you just completely destroyed well one thing about me I don't take no fighter lightly so I'm always up for each and every one of the fighters that I'm facing and y'all know that from the past of my performances and how I come in a ring 110 prepare every time I step foot in the room and just one other question for you once you get past Arrow you know once that chapter is closed if you have the rematch have you even allowed yourself a moment to think at any time like what else is out there for you is it a championship at 54 a specific fighter perhaps middleweight someday what what other sort of goals do you have besides what you've done so much already I don't know I don't know in two months I'll be 36 years old I've been boxing since I was seven years old I've been doing sports all my life since I was seven you know uh I don't know I gotta sit down with my team and talk about the future all right so now we have a very special presentation to award Terence Bud Crawford the Undisputed welterweight champion of the world for the first time in the four Belterra we have the legendary Ring magazine a championship to being presented to Terence Bud Crawford of Omaha Nebraska and sir Terence um you know when you see that the lineage and now it belongs to you I love it I love it to be honest I wish they would have kept it original but it is what it is you know I'm the number one fighter in the division they want to see it and it's stamped right here so for all you guys that that doubted me for all you guys that said I was too small I was actually too strong yeah and now in everybody you know I mean they get to witness greatness like I said before and it's the Terence Crawford area ladies and gentlemen
