Spence was the same stiff no head moving lunging ass fighter vs ugas. Bud woulda finished him that night too. It's so obvious some of y'all never watched Spence like that. Dude was always a come forward take 2 punches to give 2 fighter. And you're not ever beating bud with that style. Not with his punching power. And that's what we told y'all for years. Spence was no different last Saturday. But he'll definitely be different going forward.

I'm sure Al was offering more money for a spence ppv than Arum too, Arum didn't believe in paying for bud. Everything doesn't have to be this deep psychoanalysis post fight. Pacman a hof, he aint ducking any smoke.

:wtf: Pac vs Spence was easily the bigger fight money wise, of course Manny would want that one
I may have it wrong here, but wasn't Pacquiao supposed to get something like $40 mil for fighting Crawford and took less for fighting Spence after that fell through? If anything it sounded like he nuked the price to fight Crawford (who initially also agreed, but eventually turned it down because he felt he was getting a bad deal).

I'll keep it a bean, I am a fan not a stan of Spence and still will be but it is true that had the outcome been the other way, Spence stans wouldn't have been showing no ounce of "grace" and/or "respect" towards Crawford.

And I don't mean on The Coli, I mean social media wise mainly Twitter boxing heads. Seeing them have to give Crawford his props gotta be killing and even some of them STILL giving Crawford backhanded props.

One thing i'll say from most folks who are Crawford fans/stans or those just picked Crawford to win is that while they're getting their shyt off (deservingly so), they not claiming Spence as overrated or a hype job. They've acknowledged he great in his own right, but he just ran into someone who was/is better than him.

Spence fans/stans just need to rewatch the fight and you'll see he was fine...he just got his ass beat by an ATG fighter. The bully got bullied :yeshrug:
You already know they had receipts on deck :mjlol:.....but you could sense the energy shifting in this thread in the final couple weeks. A lot of the casuals were going back and watching bud highlights like:lupe:.....they could feel the danger in their bones.

Now all of a sudden Spence had a rib injury:dead:......with all these ailments this muthafukker shoulda been in the ER somewhere:mjlol:.....the excuses just getting laughable now. Next they're gonna tell us he had acid reflux. The fukk outta here:scust:

Abu Dhabi government was supposed to put up money and never did, It had nothing to do with spence.

I think spence gonna need a sports phycologist after this fight.
Bruh said he still has PTSD at stop lights due to the car accidents. I had some light PTSD like that after a car wreck before and it was no joke, so I can't imagine how heavy his gets after the accident he was in and getting thrown from a vehicle.

Fast forward and then he takes the kind of beating that will definitely cause as much psychological damage as physical.

No matter what he decides to do next I hope he takes his recovery as serious as a heart attack and heals completely without rushing. His entire nervous system and psyche are probably shot and Bud put the type of beating on him that can make a fighter never the same again.

For a dude who took pride in breaking other men's wills, this one will be a doozy to try to bounce back from.

1. you dont know what i watch.
2. i said nothing about spence's technique having been any different than what it is
3. i do agree that bud would beat any version of spence
4. spence is clearly diminished. this was by far the worst he has ever looked. there was nothing normal about his punch resistance, balance, or strength during that fight. while he was showing glimpses of that during the ugas fight, it was not as egregious as it was in this fight. still, bud would beat spence in any condition.
