LAS VEGAS — It’s finally here! Errol Spence Jr. (28-0, 22 KOs) and Terence Crawford (39-0, 30 KOs) will face off at T-Mobile Arena to determine the first undisputed welterweight champion of the four-belt era. 

Spence holds the WBC, IBF and WBA (Super) welterweight titles while Crawford has the WBO championship. Both are widely regarded as two of the top five pound-for-pound fighters in the world, with the winner potentially claiming the No.1 spot on the list. 

“It would mean a lot to be undisputed,” Spence said earlier this week. “It would mean that I’m one of the greatest welterweights to ever lace up a pair of gloves.”

The two have circled each other for several years as fans salivated over a potential showdown. Spence began his self-proclaimed “Strap Season” by knocking off champions Kell Brook (IBF), Shawn Porter (WBC) and Yordenis Ugas (WBA).

But the last title for his collection will certainly be his most difficult to grab as Crawford is a three-division champion, former undisputed super lightweight champion and has held the WBO title since 2018 when he knocked off Jeff Horn.

To date, Crawford has not gone the distance in his tenure at welterweight, going 7-0 with seven consecutive stoppages. “This is the Terence Crawford era,” he said.

“When you look at my body of work in each weight class, you can’t deny that. This is my era. I’ve never had a close fight. I’ve never had a fight where people thought I lost. I’ve looked spectacular every time.”

The Sporting News will provide live results and highlights from Spence vs. Crawford below. Stay tuned!

Errol Spence Jr. vs. Terence Crawford results, highlights

10:51 p.m. ET: Entering the 11th round, Cabrera’s chin is still holding up. He’s avoided some of the bigger shots from Cruz, who is still looking for the home run. It’s not a pretty fight by any means but Cruz is comfortably ahead despite being docked a point earlier in the bout. 

10:32 p.m. ET: It took a few rounds but Isaac Cruz is finding Cabrera’s chin with regularity as we move to the seventh round. “Pitbull” is finding the target with hooks as Cabrera has given up his space. The way this is going, it may not be much longer for Cruz to secure the stoppage. 

10:18 p.m. ET: Well, Cabrera isn’t fighting a great fight as he keeps his hands low, chin high and is just circling the ring. It’s only a matter of time before Cruz catches him. Meanwhile, celebrities like Andre 3000, Chris Brown, E-40, Damian Lillard and others are taking their seats in the arena. 

10:03 p.m. ET: Up next is Isaac Cruz (24-2-1, 17 KOs) vs. Giovanni Cabrera (21-0, 7 KOs) in a WBA lightweight title eliminator. Waka Flocka Flame just walked out Cabrera while Cruz has entered with a Mariachi band. Cruz is targeting a rematch with Gervonta Davis but will need to turn back Freddie Roach’s upstart in Cabrera. 

9:47 p.m. ET: Alexandro Santiago is the new WBC bantamweight champion as he won a decision that might have been scored a little closer than anticipated with scores of 115-113, 116-112 & 116-112. Nevertheless, the right man won and Santiago has defeated his idol to take home championship gold. As for Donaire, he says it’s not time to retire just yet and will go back to the drawing board. 

9:34 p.m. ET: It’s not looking good for Nonito Donaire. After ten rounds it has been Santiago outworking the 40-year-old throughout. It looks like Father Time is finally catching up to Donaire as he is unable to get his shots off and has continuously found himself a few steps behind. It’s very likely that he’s going to need a knockout to pull this off.   

9:03 p.m. ET: Up now is the ageless wonder, Nonito Donaire (42-7, 28 KOs), as he looks to claim the vacant WBC bantamweight championship against Alexandro Santiago (27-3-5, 14 KOs). Should the 40-year-old Donaire pull this off, he would break his own record as the oldest bantamweight champion in boxing history. 

8:36 p.m. ET: Yoenis Tellez set the tone for the night by scoring a third-round knockout over Sergio Garcia to improve to 6-0. The first knockdown came courtesy of a blistering right hand that badly hurt Garcia and was followed by another crushing right that put him on the canvas. Garcia was clearly in bad shape and could not defend himself from the violent assault that followed, giving Tellez the stoppage at the 2:02 mark. 

8:18 p.m. ET: We are live! The undefeated Yoenis Tellez (5-0, 4 KOs) taking on veteran Sergio Garcia (34-2 14 KOs) in super welterweight action will kick things off on the PPV.
