# Former Crawford Opponent Tells Spence To Avoid Rematch: “He’ll Get Beat Worse”

Errol Spence has around a month to decide whether or not he wants to activate a contractual rematch clause and have another shot at Terence Crawford.

[Crawford dominated Spence at the T-Mobile Arena this past weekend,](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/boxing/65838246) scoring a ninth round stoppage to be crowned the undisputed welterweight champion of the world.

Amir Khan, another man who fell victim to a stoppage loss at the hands of Crawford, thinks that it would not be a particularly wise decision for Spence to jump back in with ‘Bud.’

Speaking on [TNT Sports](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3RZVFDJD5Q&t=248s), Khan stated he believes that Spence could “get knocked out quite badly” if he does decide to trigger the rematch clause.

> “In the heat of the moment, you’re going to say, ‘Yeah I’ll take the rematch straight away.’ But to be honest with you, I don’t think it will do him any good. I think he would get beat even worse than he did today – he might get knocked out quite badly.”

> “There was talk that he was having trouble making weight, so maybe he should move up a weight. There’s still a lot of big names out there who I think Spence would beat. But I just think Crawford has his style.”

Spence has admitted he would prefer a potential rematch to take place at 154lbs, though the ball now rests firmly in Crawford’s court.

A second fight between the pair could prove to be a difficult sell however, such was [Crawford’s dominance](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/punch-stats-from-his-errol-spence-victory-show-just-how-good-terence-crawford-is/) in Las Vegas.

If a rematch does not materialise, fights with the likes of Jason Ennis and Jermell Charlo have been touted for the pound for pound king from Nebraska.
