A dream fight becomes a reality on Saturday night. A matchup that was once thought to be unattainable due to the politics of the sport finally comes to fruition, and the stakes couldn’t be higher for both Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford. The two welterweight champions meet to crown the first four-belt king in the division’s storied history when they clash inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Spence, the WBC, WBA and IBF champion, enters the fight with a perfect 28-0 record. While he has only ever held a world title at welterweight, he has dominated the division against top-tier competition.
“People are going to talk about this fight 30 or 40 years from now when you talk about legendary fights,” Spence said on Thursday. “They’re going to talk about this fight the same way they talked about the ‘Four Kings’ era. There’s going to be an amateur 20 years from now watching our fight on YouTube and saying ‘man, I want to be in a fight like that.’
“I guarantee you it’s gonna be nothing but fireworks from start to finish.”
WBO champ Crawford is also undefeated at 39-0. He has held titles at other weight classes, however, holding the WBO title at lightweight before moving up to junior welterweight where he became undisputed champion. He now enters Saturday’s fight seeking to claim undisputed status again.

“[Spence] is going to find out the same thing that everyone else finds out. He’s going to say that on TV I look one way. In the ring he’s going be seeing three of me,” Crawford said. “They say he’s the big bad wolf, but come fight night we’re gonna find out if he’s all that he says he is. He’s going to have to show me.
“This is the Terence Crawford era. 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 fight does include a rematch clause, so Saturday night is just the start of the rivalry between these top pound-for-pound fighters. The intriguing twist on that potential rematch is that the winner will get to choose what weight it is contested at. Spence has said that the weight cut down to 147 pounds is as tough as it’s ever been and he plans to move up to 154 for his next fight. But if Crawford is successful on Saturday, he may have to do it one more time.
CBS Sports will also have live coverage of the fight with round-by-round scoring and blow-by-blow updates to keep you up to date throughout the night.
“There’s no more talking. Nothing else to say. My chant is, it’s time to eat. It’s time to make it happen. We’re tired of talking. It’s time to go. Show time,” Spence’s trainer Derrick James said.
“It takes a lot of fortitude, discipline and focus to win fights like this. Errol has that. He knows his time is on Saturday. We made this happen. We took every belt and beat champions to get here.”
With so much happening on Saturday night, let’s take a closer look at the full fight card with the latest odds from Caesars Sportsbook before we get to our staff predictions and picks for the PPV portion of the festivities.

With such a massive main event on tap, the crew at CBS Sports went ahead with predictions and picks for the main event. Here are your pick makers: Brent Brookhouse (Combat sports writer), Brian Campbell (Combat sports writer, co-host of “Morning Kombat”), Luke Thomas (co-host of “Morning Kombat”), Michael Mormile (producer) and Brandon Wise (senior editor).
Campbell: In a fight this close on paper between well-rounded and unbeaten champions, something has got to separate them. In this fight, it’s the chin and heavy pressure of Spence that will eventually get to Crawford, who has shown in the past that he can be hurt and even dropped. Crawford is the slicker of the two who may have more ways to win, but the one thing no other opponent has been able to do to Spence is stop his forward momentum. Unless Crawford can visibly hurt Spence and back him up early, there’s an inevitability to the idea that Spence’s educated pressure style will eventually catch up to Crawford, too, in an absolute thriller.
Brookhouse: This is a near impossible fight to pick. Spence and Crawford have separated them from the pack at welterweight and “the pack” is filled with legitimate competition. Spence’s pressure and proven ability to gut through a war while utilizing his dynamic offense could be a problem for Crawford, who has been hurt by worse fighters in his career. Spence’s inactivity, fighting just once since December 2020, would concern me more if he hadn’t looked every bit the force he always has been against Yordenis Ugas in April of last year. Crawford has more slickness and has been a little more active. I think there’s good reason why Crawford has maintained a slight edge as the betting favorite and it took until roughly one sentence ago for me to change my pick from a narrow Crawford win to a narrow Spence win, who I simply think will have the flashier, more eye-catching moments that get the judges to shade rounds in his favor in a very close fight.
Wise: As has been stated throughout the buildup to this epic clash, buckle up for 12 rounds of high-speed chess. Both of these guys posses devastating power, but they have also shown incredible chins while facing the best competition of this era at 147 pounds. While Crawford has built himself up through the lower weight classes and had little issues in each step up, it feels like this is finally where he meets his match. Spence has a rugged style where even if he gets clipped, he takes a step and bites down on the mouthpiece only to come back stronger. Unless Crawford is able to get inside early and frustrate Spence with his stance switching, it’s tough to imagine Spence won’t be able to control the ring a bit with his power as he disciplines Crawford on the way in.

Tony Ferguson is not ranked in the Top 15 at 155 pounds.
That’s why Paddy Pimblett doesn’t expect to earn a spot on the lightweight ladder with a victory over the former interim champion when they collide at the upcoming UFC 296 pay-per-view (PPV) event, locked and loaded for Sat., Dec. 16, 2023 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

“I’ll be honest, I don’t see myself being put in the Top 15 after a win against Tony,” Pimblett told The Energized Show (transcribed by MMA News). “Bobby Green didn’t, and Bobby Green fought — beat him before I did, you know what I mean? So, I can see me fighting someone like that: Bobby Green, Grant Dawson, you know what I mean? Someone like that to get in the rankings.”
Pimblett and Green have a score to settle after this “fathead” incident at UFC San Diego.
“I mean, that’s what I can see after I beat Tony,” Pimblett continued. “Like, especially if the big fella Conor’s [McGregor] coming back in UFC 300, lad. The missus will be due a couple of weeks after that. So, it’d be nice to get another, another fight in, get another payday in before the twins are due.”
Related
The promotion is currently working on its lineup for the blockbuster UFC 300 card in April, which may be headlined by former two-division champion Conor McGregor. Pimblett vs. Green would be a strong addition, assuming “King” prevails this weekend at UFC Austin.

Boxing News: Charlo wins in comeback fight » December 4, 2023 – Fight News
In a grudge match, undefeated WBC middleweight champion Jermall Charlo (32-0, 22 KOs) scored a ten round unanimous decision over José Benavídez Jr. (28-3-1, 19 KOs) in a non-title WBC special event on Saturday night’s Benavidez-Andrade card at the Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. Returning after nearly 2 1/2 years, Charlo was stronger than the aggressive Benavidez and won most of the rounds. Benavidez was wobbled in the tenth. Scores were 98-92, 99-91, 100-90.
Give props. He fought well. He knows how to fight.
Charlo did a good job moving, countering, and even leading in many rounds of the fight. Yes, he did well. However, I question if he can even stop Canelo who is much stronger than Benavidez Jr. Charlo will need to beat Canelo on points should they fight. I dont see a KO for Charlo against Canelo.
lol Canelo has never been knocked down let alone knocked out. Charbum absolutely has no chance of even hurting him. Charbum will be the one getting laid out if they fight.
Please nobody wants to see Charlo vs Canelo. The only fight for Canelo is Benavidez.
Benavidez vs Bivol is what we really want to see
Charlo very dominant, Jose put a valiant effort, but lacks fundamental
He should be ashamed he could not ko Benavides
Boxing should not let this fights go on
In the weigh in looks like over weight boxer is not a problem
But this like putting one live on risk
Charlo was too strong for Benavides
Can’t say I’d be too proud beating a guy two weight classes below me. And he couldn’t stop him? The commentators kept saying solid performance by Charlo and i get it .. he was out 40 months. But still, this was a super middle weight fighting a blown up welterweight. I guess that’s what Benavidez gets for all the pre fight talk. I pick Plant and Morrell over Charlo.
Not to bad after almost three years without fighting but nowhere close to challenge any one of the big names at Super Middle. Plant, Mibilli, Morrel and Benavidez would smoke him.
This fight did not settle in my gut correctly because Charlo missed weight. Under such weight related circumstances, Benavidez hung in there with a solid chin. Charlo’s punches were creative, and his jabs were mean.
Agree E man …Charlo had some good moments….but clearly that finisher that beast we are use to seeing .,.not there… hopefully it is rust…but …Charlo struggling with something else…can clearly see it…I hope that Charlo is “ok” outside the ring…
Yep, how good would charlo have been if he had of sweated off the extra 3-4 pounds and actually made weight ? Possibly a more even playing field for the smaller Benevidez Jr……
Hopefully charlo fights plant next
Not bad for charlo.good fight to get the rust out! Benavidez was talk,talk bullishht and no pop in his punches! Great sportsmanship on charlo at the post fight interview. Bobo gettn’ KO by benavidez next fight! Its a total mismatch, bobo too weak for the hard punching destroyer in benavidez! Bobo’s promoters don’t realize the danger they put him for picking this fight. Benavidez by brutal KO of the year on the 8th or a “no-mas” call out!
Dominated a welter weight (blown up). He got rounds in and maintained composure surprisingly.
I’m at the fight and there are no ring girls! WTF!!!
Benavidez about to stop Boo-boo. One more round
Done.
It was expected! A bobo blow out! Benavidez is in onother level, and not the bums bobo is used to fight and strugled with when he was champion! The most “avoided” title just was too big for bobo!
I don’t think it was right that Charlo be allowed to come in so heavy in violation of the contractual catch weight limit of 163. He likely was close to 170 when he stepped into the ring, more than 7-8 lbs heavier than Benavidez. He enjoyed a height advantage too. Totally unfair. Credit to Jose for putting up a valiant effort. Charlo couldn’t knock him out either. I personally am not very impressed with Charlo. He wants the big money that fighting Canelo or David Benavidez would bring, but it’s obvious that he would be no match for either. His more immediate goal should be to fight Plant, so he can save face and exact revenge for Plant slapping him. This is the reason that Plant slapped him too, to force him to choose Plant as an opponent with the title on the line.
Jose Benavides was out boxed. He did show he has a decent chin. Charlo didn’t have enough punching power to stop Benavides. Charlo will not beat Alvarez.
Just wanted to note….Charlo …I am praying for you….you are a man before a fighter…In your corner in “life”….hang in there champ…
Charlo is done at top level. I think Plant beats him at 168 and benavidez would knock him out as quick as he did Andrade. If he has to fight Adames at the middleweight limit, then he loses that too.
Way to go Charlo!
ok, lets just hope that we dont now have
canelo-charlo. if so, another hard pass for me
Surprised he couldn’t KO him. Jose Jr, a career Welterweight comes in at a catch weight of 163. Meanwhile Charlo, a natural Middleweight comes in 3.4# over at 166.4. So you had an overweight out of shape Welterweight fighting a Super Middleweight.
