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)

[BlackMajik]

The version of Spence we saw on Saturday loses to a lot of fighters, not just Crawford. He was slow and lacked pop.

For a man that's never been cut from a punch or knocked down, safe to say he was in state he's never been before.

 

[CBalla]

safe to say theres no excuses he got his asswhipped by the fighter he least wanted to fight, which is why he took the easy route

Man, I don’t know how old you are but I’ve been watching boxing a long ass time now. I’m way closer to 40 than 30, and I’ve been following the sport since childhood. My father was a big boxing fan so he had me watching it early. That was a great performance from Crawford. Bud looked tremendous, but it’s really speaks to how WELL he was prepared for Spence’s specific style. You’re taking one singular fight and trying to extrapolate it to some all-time standard no one has reached at WW, and you should know that’s improbable because boxing doesn’t work that way. What’s that thing they say? Styles make fights? You could have put that same Crawford in there against prime Winky Wright, and he’d look way less dominating than he did against Spence.

Now, if Crawford looked like that every fight, I’d agree with you, but he doesn’t. You need a bigger body of work than one single ass fight to be the “standard” or the “mile marker” for the entire history of the division. It’s not like horse racing or something where if horse sets a record time on a course/grounds… the horse that then runs a faster time by default is the fastest horse we’ve ever seen run this course.

Boxing is way more nuanced than that. Is Spence shot from years of cutting weight? shyt. Could be. Is his punch resistance completely gone? Could be. He was getting rocked by jabs. Spence had a bad training camp? Possible! And so on and so on. And here you are on this lovely Monday morning talking about one lone, single, solitary style that Team Crawford literally pulled out all the stops to minimize, and Bud looked great doing it, was the greatest welter weight we’ve ever seen.

You need to be stopped.

lol when I read his post it’s like dude has got to be a teenager. Can’t even have an objective conversation dude Stan’s fighters and spams the board on Canelo and Crawford it’s disgusting

Usually those are the trainers you stay away from.

Dog do you even make predictions?....all you do is sit on the sidelines and pop up whenever somebody mentions Floyd's name like a dikk rider. Look at my prediction record compared to yours. Forget bud and canelo fights. On all fights. Trying to call someone Stan when all you do is ride Floyd's nuts. fukk outta here

 

[HARLEM AL]

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.

My god. Bud really fish filleted that man

Im going keep it funky, Flex been into boxing for a long time. Since the Sohh days. He has always hated floyd and he always had some of the worst takes ever. Funny thing is homie is dead ass. Dont get to worked up about it.

 

[NormanConnors]

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.

Jesus Christ

 

[⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐]

Oh yeah... His ringwalk lacked energy.

Breh you need to rewatch the fight. The man look like he had been poisoned in there. He was at least 30-40 percent sluggish and slower in all movements

A 14 year old stole his mother’s car, ran a red light, and rear ended Spence’s car. Thats farrrrr from being unable to “avoid” a car

should’ve slipped it, moved out of the way and let it hit the car in front of him

I always loved getting head to head with you in Floyd threads.......I'm still getting folks riled up. I'm in my prime

Everything great. Much better place financially and mentally. Just trying to keep making progress. This is just fun to me. But stay up. I'll prolly retire from here soon too. Been sonning folks for too long

As for Floyd vs Bud.

Floyd beats him had 140 in a clear win. at 147 I dont know. 55-45 Floyd. Those later rounds Bud would have to steal from floyd.
