Crawford makes history with win

The Omaha, Nebraska native became the first male boxer of the four-belt era to unify the four major sanctioning organization titles in two separate divisions, per ESPN.

He accomplished the feat in the light welterweight division when he knocked out Julius Indongo at Pinnacle Bank Arena in August 2017.

He did it again nearly six years later, grabbing the WBC, WBA, and IBF welterweight titles from Spence and adding them to his WBO welterweight crown.

Crawford shows he's boxing's best

With the resounding victory, Crawford cemented his status as the world’s best pound-for-pound fighter.

It’s hard to argue against that statement after Crawford manhandled Spence Jr, who was an undefeated welterweight champion.

Crawford started dominating the fight when he knocked down Spence Jr. in the late stages of the second round, per Yahoo Sports.

He was relentless until the ninth round when Dock decided that Spence Jr.'s night was over.
