Crawford was on hand to drop Spence three times during the clash that saw him claim the undisputed welterweight world titles.
The judges' scorecards reflected just how impressive his performance was against his fellow American boxer.
Such dominance in the ring was a sight to behold, but it seems as though Crawford could sense a victory was coming all this time.
In 2018, he took to Twitter and said: "I own the whole block so it don't matter what side of the street you on."

Spence opted to respond with a quote tweet saying: "You don't believe that."
However, Crawford remained insistent in his reply: "You'll understand one day and I'm done talking about it."
All of the messages were tweeted on July 29, 2018, exactly five years to the day before 'Bud' defeated 'The Truth'.
Spence first hit the canvas towards the end of the second round, falling after a neat one-two from Crawford.

He dropped on two more occasions in the seventh before the result was decided two rounds later.
A Crawford combination left Spence uneasy on his legs and referee Harvey Dock decided to wave off the fight as a result.
He has now extended his fighting record to 40-0 throughout his professional career.
Spence is eyeing a rematch however, and said that his preference would be for it to be fought at a weight of 154 lbs.
