Is it true this fight only did 700k

I can see that & based on their introverted personalities media wise, those are solid numbers (if true)

Man if I had just got into boxing and checked this thread ya'll cats would have me thinking Crawford created boxing, unbelievable Dude is great but not the invincible/bullet proof/no weakness cat yall make him out to be

This is spot on.....I actually had Spence winning the first two rounds until the knockdown. This was the same Spence we've always seen......Everything came from his jab and once Crawford started timing him and countering him, there was no plan B. It was over.

Right. Even the third round was a GREAT round from Spence even though Crawford won that round. He responded well after the KD (it being before the end of the round helped too tho) the third round….Crawford just had his number

Yup. Spence actually won the first half of the 3rd round. He came back hungry and really applied pressure. Absolutely no difference in speed or power from his pre-accident self.

But as we said. When you apply pressure to bud that's when he's at his most dangerous. And midway through the round bud caught him with another power jab and rocked him. Then a right hand.

Then a bit later rocked even him even worse with another jab and an overhand right.

Just look at how bud slid out the way of that body shot then came back with the overhand right ....it just doesn't get any better than that. It's like he could see everything Spence was gonna do before it happened. After this exchange bud took the momentum and never let up. Spence was out of answers. And the 4th round was absolutely brutal for him. I mean gut wrenching brutal. Bud was simply too great for him.

shyt if that's true that's fukkin great. That's exactly the number I was hoping for. That's more than enough casual numbers for plenty of fans to stick around. That's all these super fights are about. Getting the casuals to tune in and stay tuned in. And after the performance bud on I promise you plenty of those casuals will tune in to his next fight. It was electrifying.

All you see on social media was how that was one of the greatest boxing performances they ever seen. Boxing feels alive again.

Everyone knew what Wilder is. He's a horrific boxer with generational power and one of the best right hands in the history of the sport. Everyone knew this.......He never got exposed, he just ran into the only person who could actually take his punch and get up. If Fury doesn't beat the count in their first fight, Wilder is seen as the greatest heavyweight of this era. He's knocked every person he's fought down including Fury multiple times.......He likely slumps Joshua and Usyk too.

Foh there was so many people on here acting like he was actually a good boxer and pretending they couldn't see he was always sloppy as shyt
He would definitely slump Joshua glass chin ass but Usyk would box him up. Hopefully both fights happen but who the fukk knows with boxing

I don't remember what everyone in here were saying but it was pretty well known from the people I speak to regularly that he just wasn't a good boxer......he just had all time great power.

Usyk would box him up but as we've seen in his 40 plus fights, all he has to do is land once and at this point I don't think you can bet against that. His pop is that good that he doesn't even have to land that cleanly.

Look man, I have been blessed with a tremendous memory. I remember EJ saying he’s not the same on fukking video (I’ll post the link below). No one would be the same. He’d have to be god, superman, or both to be exactly the same. What RJJ is saying about no one being the same after going face first through a car windshield of a car going 100+ MPH, going 40 feet in the air, and landing face first is common sense. EJ is extremely fortunate to even be alive. The fact he even came back and won another belt after such a traumatic event is mind boggling.

With that being said, that doesn’t take away from Crawford’s victory. Dude got in the ring and he’s not making excuses. He got his ass whooped. Long term, he really needs to think about his future in the sport and overall health prospects.

He says of course he is not the same after the accident, but he’s still better than a lot of these fighters about 40 seconds into the video.



Also, on another. I’ve never seen what people see when they say Porter was hurting Spence. I’ve tried damn hard too. He was getting hit with some shots and returning fire immediately. He wasn’t wobbling, retreating, etc. People often see what they want to see. Before the Crawford fight, I’ve seen Spence hurt two times: Lartey and Ugas. Ugas hurt Spence to the head and body.

Who said this? Numbers usually don’t come back this early. Usually it’s about 5 days or more. Secondly those are good numbers considering all the fight parties and venues showing the shyt now. 700k is good for those two but I expect the numbers to come in a little closer to 800k

 

[((ReFleXioN)) EteRNaL]

I mean come on man. I can't get over this shyt. I feel blessed to witness this level of greatness in my lifetime.

 

[Bleed The Freak]

If anyone noticed how he was throwing n slinging Porter around the ring with ease he was showing his strength in that fight

Porter himself said Bud picked him up to show him what time it was.



Folks underestimate his wrestling background. Just won my free lunch yesterday from that Bud TKO.

 

[Bleed The Freak]

Go to 4:15 and Terence saw what we saw about Spence 5 years ago.

Very good not great.

 

[Peak]

Respect

 

[Bleed The Freak]

There should be no excuses from Spence fans. He's not giving any himself.

they are caught in the moment…it’s typical for the Coli. Right now in their heads Crawford could beat Floyd.

It happens after every big fight.
