Errol Spence established his excellent southpaw jab in the opening round, touching it to Terence Crawford’s body time and again while Bud looked to counter from the outside. 10-9, Spence. #SpenceCrawford

As I said the key would be the jab, both used it, slight edge in round to Spence. #SpenceCrawford
