UPDATE: Monday, too, apparently, is good for fighting on Twitter.
Errol Spence came back with a sharp counter on Terence Crawford on Monday before noon, as the two welterweight aces continued the festivities from Sunday. Then, it looks like they found common ground, in a peaceful place…which could encourage them to move forward and fight it out.
Or, at least, going hard on Twitter, and working to bring a fight he seems to want bad, against Errol Spence, to fruition.
Before the clock struck midnight, “Bud” was throwing combos. Check it out…
Spence, too, has been active on the social media, after laying real low following his car incident/accident in Texas in October:
Hardcore fans know these two have circled each others’ wagon for a couple years.
Promoter Bob Arum has said he agreed with Spences’ advisor, Al Haymon, to pit the two in 2020. That leaked plan seemed to change when Spence had his car wreck. But last month the Texas welter said he’d be back fighting again this year, in May or June, and that he wanted no gimme comeback fight.
Follow the accounts of both guys on Twitter, they are slinging it.
