Spence looked perfectly fine up until the first knockdown. Exactly the same as usual. After that it was over. Confidence shot. You could see it in his face when he was smiling at the ref. He looked shell shocked at what just happened. That's when he knew he was in some really deep shyt.

When Spence was still complaining about the coin toss at the weigh-in I knew his head wasn't in the right place. He was more focused on just getting props for making the fight. Didn't look confident in himself like usual. When a guy blatantly avoids another fighter for years there's always a reason behind it. Some guys can just tell when another fighter is their kryptonite. And Spence knew bud was all wrong for him. His whole team did.

Al haymon knew Spence's run was over as soon as the fight was signed. That's why he did everything in his power to not make it happen. But the time finally came to sacrifice his warrior. There was no more avoiding it. PBC deserves everything they get for the way they did bud over the years. They really almost succeeded in black balling one of the greatest talents in boxing history. There's no place in boxing for that type of shyt.


Post the car accident, Spence carries himself as a guy that takes painkillers. It is what it is. Recognizing this does not diminish Crawford’s win in anyway. Once the fight is signed and agreed to, there are no excuses. If you choose to fight with a broken hand, it’s not even a valid excuse. However, we can acknowledge it’s broken.

As far as the rest of you post, it just sounds extremely silly on some Stan shyt. For someone on this forum as often as you are, you should know the business of boxing. If you want certain fights, you gotta sign to certain promoters. That is the game.

A very valuable lesson was learned from the Fulton fight... Just because you like a fighter doesn't mean they should win or will win.
The more skilled fighter will win. Floyd said it best... "skills pay the bills"
full



I'm so fukkin disapointed that even despite learning a lesson, I made the same mistake yet again.:wow:
I was leaning more towards Errol Spence, because it felt like he DESERVED to win.

but ... in the sport of boxing: nothing is given, everything is earned, brehs.

While watching Crawford's fights I realized that dude is special. What I liked the most about him was that he rarely ever lets a chance go by to punish his opponent. Striking with laser accuracy every time the opportunity presents itself.

And as much as I liked Spence, the thing I hated the most is how much he's open to be punished.

When Spence won that first round against him I wasn't swayed. Not even for a second... I knew the fight was far from over and Crawford is a very DANGEROUS man. I'm a casual fan but even still I seen the tremendous skillset Crawford possessed while watching his previous fights. I seen him knock Kell Brook out with a fukking jab and get no credit from anyone. People even discredited that KO and said Kell gave up after being hit in his already injured eye. There's people who like to discredit everything about Crawford... them and especially Spence is guilty of this. He proved all the naysayers wrong and he has my utmost respect for it. I'm kicking myself over not betting for that Crawford KO/TKO finish... like how!? Odds were like +230 and I knew what he was capable of... and not only that but it's what he's BEEN doing to fighters... Smh this shyt all becomes so clear after a fight but what kills me is that even before the fight it was obvious. I didn't bet at all but it would've been for Spence. Betting with my feelings and not any logic.:palm:

I paid 90 dollars for the PPV. My first time ever. Just couldn't risk the stream stopping or lagging.
Will be my last purchased PPV as well.

May even be my last time watching boxing... idk, I'm definitely taking a few months off.

The sport of boxing is brutal even for the fans.
And before anyone gets on my ass I already said earlier that it would be sad to see either fighter lose so this would be my same sentiment even if the roles were reversed. But I honestly don't think Spence would ever beat him. Even in the rematch at 154
