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.
