I saw the presser too.
Take what he said about the mouthpiece with a grain of salt.
Aint no way imo he didn't get a new mouthpiece after the new set of teeth, post car crash. Take that from somebody that's had their teeth knocked out and tried to put their old piece in after having new fronts rebuilt. It isn't possible.
He prolly just has a habit of always letting his mouthpieces sit loose a little, you can pop that shyt out a little bit if you really want.
As far as getting rocked, Spence imo got rocked twice in the first 6 rounds, the mouthguard fiasco and earlier in rnd 2 or 3.
Take that from someone who believes end of round 6-10 from Spence as some of the best work they've seen in boxing in the last 5 years, if not ever.
If you're Crawford watching that your'e saying to yourself -
'Damn, he's gettable if you play your cards right and pounce when you need to, but goddamn, if he gets in the pocket like he did in 7-9 then i'm not going to survive.'
I don’t know why people aren’t getting this.
I hate boxing fans that latch on to a fighter and then act like that fighter is God. Even some boxing channels do it.
Spence spanked Ugas. But that doesn’t mean that there weren’t flaws and Spence didn’t get rocked.
To keep it a buck, I felt like Spence made more mistakes than I’ve personally ever seen him make before, hence his own damn coach before they left the rings told Spence str8 up that they need to get to work, because a real coach gonna keep it a buck.
That’s what makes Bud Spence a crazy fight. Spence made mistakes and got rocked and still broke Ugas face.
Bud is so damn technical and he’s a super dog heart wise, but can he hold up to the power? But then again, he gets people out of there crazy.
So, we can pick sides at the end but damn sure ain’t gonna pretend that these dudes are unbeatable agaisnt each other, no way no how.
We are living through a potential fight that may be talked about in 20 years, and I’m very excited.
