Shane Mosley, the boxing legend, recently pulled back the curtain on a private sparring session between Errol Spence Jr and Terence Crawford. According to Mosley, Spence Jr not only held his own but managed to “do some damage” to Crawford. The revelation adds another layer of intrigue to the highly anticipated Spence-Crawford bout scheduled for July 29th.
Despite Mosley’s revelations, Spence himself has remained tight-lipped about the sparring session. In fact, he’s been almost strategically silent, likely in an effort to preserve interest and suspense for their upcoming Pay-Per-View event on Showtime. However, if the rumors of Spence’s impressive performance against Crawford in training hold any weight, it could set the stage for a spectacular showdown at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
What makes this upcoming fight even more compelling is the familiarity between the two fighters. As Mosley rightly noted, it's going to be a challenging fight for both, given their shared history and mutual understanding of each other's fighting style. Particularly for Crawford, who might find himself on a backfoot, given the tales of Spence's earlier dominance. As the date draws near, the boxing world waits with bated breath to see if history will repeat itself in the ring.
