7/29/2023 Showtime PPV presents The King of Fighters: Errol 'The Truth' Spence Jr vs Terence 'Bud' Crawford(WBC/WBA/IBF/WBO/Ring/Lineal 147 titles)

[Ziggiy]

Holy shyt I had NO IDEA that Spence was in not one but TWO serious car accidents.

 

[⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐]

Not to undermine Spence resume but the ease with which Bud boxed that nikka head off really has me wanting to go back and evaluate wtf Spence other opponents were doing
Mikey was probably too small, Danny was too stiff and slow, Porter is just not a sophisticated enough boxer probably. But a guy like Ugas was someone I thought was an aight boxer. Need to rewatch that jawn and see why he couldn't nullify what Spence wanted to do. Bud made that shyt look mad simple and easy

I think the fix was in on the Danny Garcia fight

Feel like Al told Danny, listen playboi you old and you almost out and I need you to make way for the new and improved. Danny was too easy for Spence and this is Spence fighting outside of his promotional network

He obviously was a great fighter but not at this weight anymore

Nah Floyd is too smart. He knows bud would beat the dog shyt out of him at this point. shyt, Floyd knows bud would give him hell even in his pretty boy days. Floyd already said bud has "young Floyd" talent. Which pretty much means he concedes that bud is better than his older welterweight self. The bud we seen on Saturday is quite possibly the greatest welterweight that ever lived.

A lot was off

Oh yeah... His ringwalk lacked energy.

Why you so hyperbolic?

There's nothing hyperbolic about that at all. You got boxing legends in disbelief at what they saw. Athletes from all sports in shock. Saying it was the greatest performance they ever seen. That's not an exaggeration.

What bud did on Saturday was one of the greatest athletic performances of all time. Definitely the greatest boxing performance I've ever seen with my own eyes. Bud did Errol Spence worse than Floyd did Arturo gatti. Let that sink in. That bud could beat any welterweight that ever lived. Now would he?....We'll never know. But he most definitely could.

If you can’t avoid a car on the road it’s gonna be tough to avoid them punches in the ring

Errol Spence's eye injury is the reason why we got this fight, and I stand by that
If Spence were to fight Pacquiao, he would be EVEN MORE EMBOLDENED to duck Crawford. Spence would make like $5-$15 mill for that fight, gain even more fans and say that "Oh Crawford is not a PPV guy, there's no money fighting him". Probably would have faced Ugas after Pacquiao, and moved up to 154 leaving Crawford at 147

That injury was a setback for Spence and realized he had nowhere else to go money-wise and even competition-wise and was like fukk it let's make the Crawford fight

 

[Eye Cue DA COLI GAWD]

The most telling thing in this clip is the push in the very beginning. Anytime Spence tried to smother bud, bud would just push his ass away with no effort. Not sure why people thought Spence was the stronger man. You put Bud and Spence in a wrestling match and bud would rag doll him. Spence had absolutely nothing for him.

Spence natural mass is clearly not built to be cutting down to 147 for a fighter like Crawford anymore. He probably felt hella weak and drained.

Look at the videos you dudes are posting. Spence is a a shell of himself. Is it the accident or the weight? I need to see him at 154 before I make my decision.

 

[TheNig]

I wonder what the other PBC fighters think of Crawford after this.

It didn't stop him from pushing everyone else around at that weight or everyone saying he'll be too strong for Bud though.

Bud just got that ox-like strength really. That wrestling background gives dude a lot of functional strength, advanced knowledge/feel of leverage, etc.

You have to feel for Spence. He really wanted this fight at 154, and I suspect he knew he was at a disadvantage at 147, hence the 154 rematch clause.

Yet he did it anyway bc he knew the pressure from the masses would be to keep it at 147.

Crawford needs man up and do fight at 154. Spence strengths would reveal themselves then while Crawford "probably" won't be as nimble with the added the weight.

I'm talking about against Crawford, specifically.

And regardless who he fought in past, I know he's a natural super welterweight at this point. In your heart, you agree.

Bud is also a bigger guy too. Remember, dude was actually the one who nearly missed making weight.

Fighting at 154 also means Bud is fighting closer to his natural weight.

I really don't want to see this fight at 154.

Bud's punching would be even more devastating and if this fight didn't hurt Errol's health, taking the fight at 154, especially this soon will.
I don't want to see Errol go into a depression. That's what that fight at 154 will bring to dude.

Let's see it at 154 then. Shouldn't be a problem. I still think Spence can overwhelm Crawford and get to his chin.

Get outta here with this bullshyt ....if Errol was so worried about weight he shouldn't have ducked bud for 5 years. Bud was calling him out when he was still at 140 and Errol still didn't want it. Errols the one who chose to stay at welterweight. At 154 he'll get beat even worse. Errols style is not built for 154. He can't bully anybody up there. Same reason Golovkin never moved up.

Errols whole style was based on breaking down smaller guys with his bigger frame to make up for his basic boxing skills. And it finally came back to bite him in the ass. At 154 bud knocks him out within 5 rounds. Spence will never be the same again mentally or physically. Not even spiritually. He gonna need some demon souls type potions to fukk with bud.

 

[UpAndComing]

Every counter puncher is the master of punching wizardry until they get socked in the mouth and start covering up 1/2 the round bc THEY'RE THE ONES NOT USED TO GETTING HIT.

Spence's "holes" are the cost of doing business. He's willing to take what his opponent dishes because he thinks his washing machine is bigger.

People overthinking this -- Spence is going to try to overwhelm Crawford, and I've seen nothing from Crawford that's going to prevent Spence from executing his game plan outside a counter KO. Even a knockdown won't stop Spence.

Spence's short area power is too much to game plan for. He hurts everyone through defensive guards and the tightest of angles. Crawford can't match that.

Casual? LMAO

You're completely disregarding the fact Crawford has not proven he can take Spence's power, so your points are irrelevant to me. In fact, the benefit of the doubt is he can't take it because he's got wobbled by multiple boxers with 1/2 of Spence's power.
