Saturday’s world title fight will be his eighth. The Spence bout is his 18th consecutive world title fight. Spence’s trainer, Derrick James, traded insults with Crawford’s head coach, Brian McIntyre. James argued with the Crawford supporters who had gathered at T-Mobile Arena for the news conference. Crawford began the event pleading for calm between the two camps, and ended it exchanging R-rated barbs with the loudest member of Spence’s entourage.
