This is the current and future of the ring with the way cats are getting entangled in Canelo's and Crawford's jockstrap drawer :mjlol:




Also cats should be allowed pick who they want to win, whether its who they believe in skill wise or would want to win in general on some that's my dude shyt. That's just how it goes in competitive activities

Spence had majority of the votes in the poll, so I guess the ring doesnt know shyt about boxing? A bunch of cats in that bracket have picked right and wrong previously though

Canelo got his ass whooped by Bivol and that poll was mysteriously shaded where you couldn't see who voted for what, just the total. But Canelo had majority of the votes. I know I picked Bivol with a screenshot to prove it. Does the "cats don't know shyt about boxing" moniker apply there as well?
Already addressed this in a previous comment. This wasn't a "got a fight pick wrong" situation. This went on for 5+ years with people arguing over every level of minutia during that time span. People had multiple YEARS and multiple fights to reevaluate, adjust, or change their minds on what they thought of Crawford. And I'm obviously not talking about rational people who thought it was a 50/50 fight that Spence would edge out, talking about people who attempted to discredit and undermine every thing Crawford did for 5 yrs.

Not sure what Canelo has to do with this.

Exactly. This beef been going on for years. These Spence dikk riders disparaged buds name and acted like he ducked this fight when they knew it wasn't true. Y'all did everything you could t throw dirt on his name. Yall said bud was gonna get steam rolled.

Now you want everybody to relax after your fighter took an ass beating for the ages. fukk all that. Y'all gotta eat them words now. It is what it is. I've been on the opposite side before. shyt ain't fun but you gotta take it on the chin :yeshrug:

Don't be surprised if glove gate 2.0 happens. I just got done watching a video where people are claiming that Crawford loaded his gloves.

Don't think it was loaded gloves (but if so :francis:). Spence just hasn't been hit enough (contrary to popular belief) since he's been back for that to be tested and also faced a southpaw style. He had layers of skin/flesh ripped off of his face from the accident, that might be a potential problem for him moving forward. I'm leaning more towards a southpaw jab with power though, Spence mauled Ugas and Danny the same way.

Check my posts...i have given crawford full credit for him putting on a great performance but reality is that he was the reason this fight took so long to make this is DOCUMENTED FACTS regardless of the crazy ass narratives you are trying to paint. And if its true that this fight did below 1 million PPV buys then thats a letdown which Crawford holds alot of responsibility for because of him prolonging it taking place. Its funny you talk about Spence PPV buys.....spence vs porter did 350k while porter vs bud did 135k :mjlol: .


You are a totally unhinged rabid crawford fanboy......probably got his picture as the background on your phone:umad:
You talking about documented facts :mjlol:



It's a DOCUMENTED FACT that Errol Spence said he was gonna take the easy route instead of facing bud.


It's a DOCUMENTED FACT that PBC froze bud out and pretended he didn't exist on their own telecasts

Get outta here. Bud was the actual Boogeyman to PBC and their whole roster:mjlol:......bud showed all of you Saturday night who was the one really scared of this matchup. And the results showed exactly why. Al haymon knew all along this would happen.

People always start these conspiracies when their favorite catches the beats. They did the same with Wilder v Fury.

I'm the greatest, something like Ali in his prime

I don't think Crawford would load his gloves. However I believe Spence underestimated Crawford's power, while overestimating his own chin.

People say that Bud has power in both of his hands but really it's his right hand that holds all of the power. Crawford damn near fired his jab as if it was a straight. This is how he caught Brook off guard with that KO.

I absolutely can see some ridiculous excuse being made up tbh. It happens when a fighter loses who many fans are very invested in. See Fury vs Wilder 2, many fans couldn't accept it for what it was and a made-up scandal was formed.

In this case it would be a much harder sell though cause unlike Wilder who came up multiple different excuses before later he hopped on the glove one too, Spence doesn't want to entertain any excuses, something I respect about him.
Plus in Fury's case it's easier to believe that something was shady even if in this case there was nothing to it because his whole character is shady, earlier he popped for PEDs and etc.

They also said they explicitly worked on a "new" kind of power jab, compared to the jabs Bud is usually throwing.
Scary cause it was a very effective weapon, seems like he can just make up his mind an perfect a specific punch for a specific opponent before the fight if he wants to.

Obviously they never go in there without a plan but I think oftentimes "Bud being Bud" was more than enough for his wins and now we saw he stepping up his level even more by meticulously studying an opponent and coming in with a more specific plan than "download info in the first few rounds then solve him...". He had the solution from the get go and after a warm up round he executed it. This is just a guess I don't have insider info on how exactly they prepared to opponents.

Will be interesting to see where the Ring goes from here, Spence vs Crawford was probably the most intense agenda war on here

With the way it ended anybody who irrationally hated on Crawford looks stupid as hell right now. Like breh you were just complete and utterrly wrong.....on everything :patrice:

Do those guy come back mad humble and objective, do they just wait it out waiting until the next big fight and hope people forget and take them serious again, or do they pull a D Lo and whoever else went ghost and just never post again :russ:

dont matter to me, its foot on they neck from here the fukk on out. and props to you, you were one of those who never doubted and held it down in my absence.

Not sure what Canelo has to do with this.

It's double standards depending on who's who, Canelo was used as an example as well

When Frank was down on the score cards against Artem Harutyunyan the camera showed Spence in the crowd and he had a worried look on his face as if his fighter was about to take his first L.

Fast forward to when Crawford got in the ring and Spence was staring over at him - he made that EXACT same face in addition to being sweaty AF for whatever reason. In that moment if I had any bets placed on Spence I would've cancelled them immediately!

No 🧢 either, I can easily provide the screenshots. I'm surprised no one mentioned this already.
