Errol Spence Jr. Explains How ‘Swing Bouts’ Can Be Nerve-Wrecking

WBC/IBF 147 lbs champion Errol Spence Jr. has several astonishing experiences to talk about on his road to becoming one of the greatest modern-day boxers. Starting from sparkling title wins to an active unbeaten career of 27-0, ‘The Truth’ also has umpteen accolades. However, he recently made the fight world aware of the concept of swing bouts.

Traditional fans are aware of the concept of swing bouts. But because of its limited necessity, those bouts aren’t common knowledge to a larger portion of the audience. When a fight card ends prematurely or gets over before its stipulated time slot, promoters enforce swing bouts.

These matchups are absolutely unplanned and are implemented just to fulfill the pre-planned title slot. Hence, the contenders are elected in a rush and have no preparation or formal game plan against each other.

Spence Jr. shared his views on swing bouts via social media. ‘The Truth’ wrote, “Being a swing bout was nerve wrecking every time it look like someone about to get stopped you start warming up hitting the mitts he make it out the round you just sit back down.”
