Terence Crawford defeated Errol Spence Jr. via ninth-round TKO last weekend to become the first-ever undisputed welterweight world champion. The nature of Crawford's victory came as a shock to many, as 'Bud' dominated his opponent with ease.

Both fighters entered the ring undefeated, and the fight was labeled as one of boxing biggest matchups in the past thirty years.

A rematch clause was included in the fight contracts of both men, and Errol Spence Jr. verbalized his intent to exercise that clause during the post-fight press conference. Terence Crawford has now shared his thoughts on the upcoming rematch, which appears to be targeted for December.

'Bud' was recently interviewed by HOT 97, where he said this:

"I think Errol is a strong-minded, strong-willed individual. I feel as if he will go back to the drawing board, he will come back stronger, he will come back hungrier. He'll try to fix the things he needed to fix to make the fight look different in the second time than the first time. That's the only thing that I can sense, because I will be on the other side."
