[<<TheStandard>>]

I’m mad I can no longer make it to Vegas. I’ve been anticipating going to Vegas for a fight of this magnitude for years. Peoples I was going to roll with now can’t make it, and I’m not making a dolo trip. Just hosting a fight party at the crib now.

Bruh, don't wait on your friends.

Go solo.......you will miss out on so many experiences if you constantly wait on others. I almost always go to Vegas solo and I end up meeting new friends when I'm out there.

Spence Anticipates An Aggressive Crawford: "I See Him Coming Out A Bit More Assertive"

Patience is something that Terence Crawford both practices and preaches. Come July 29th, however, stoicism may not be the most pragmatic approach. Errol Spence Jr., the current IBF, WBA, and WBC 147-pound champion, and Crawford’s upcoming dance partner, has

"I know everybody’s saying it. He’s hearing it, his coach is hearing it so they are going to try and change things up and do things differently....I see him coming out probably a bit more assertive than he usually is”


Funny hearing Spence talk about another fighter coming out on the attack. Feels like he's trying to check bud's temperature. Or trying to goad bud into fighting a certain way. Meanwhile bud just staying silent. Not giving em anything to work with. Derrick James prolly at home stressed as hell trying to solve the bud puzzle...

Nelson (18-0, 15 KOs) is an Omaha, Nebraska native and longtime training partner of Terence Crawford who will look to keep his unblemished pro record intact on July 29. The 35-year-old turned pro in 2016 after an accomplished amateur career and most recently fought on Crawford’s undercard in December 2022. That outing saw Nelson shake off the rust from a nearly two-year layoff to KO James Ballard in round one. He will be opposed by the Victorville, California-native Montgomery (10-4-1, 7 KOs), who enters this fight on a three-bout winning streak. Montgomery’s last defeat came via decision against rising middleweight sensation Elijah Garcia in May 2022.



A 21-year-old who turned pro in November 2020, Reyes (12-0, 9 KOs) carried an eight-fight KO streak into his U.S. debut this April. That outing saw the Tijuana, Mexico-native earn a shutout 10-round unanimous decision victory over the previously unbeaten Prince Dzanie. He will face the Bago City, Philippines born Alicte (28-5-1, 23 KOs), who has twice vied for the super flyweight world championship, including a split-draw for the vacant belt in a 2018 matchup against Donnie Nietes. Alicte would later drop a 2019 title fight against Kazuto Ioka and most recently had a three-bout winning streak snapped when he lost to current bantamweight world champion Jason Moloney in June 2022.

Crawford looks very sharp in this work out..the movement and punch selection. Will that be enough? We'll see.

 

[R=G]

Agreed. My feelings as we get closer to the fight is a hotly debated decision where both have big moments where they shine.

I can't fukking wait..July 29th is a celebration, no matter what happens.

Spence just needs to be Spence. Just go forward. He'll figure out the rest in time.

 

[Ari Gold Bawse]

Spence is going to start strong and Bud will adapt and take over like he always does in the later rounds. I can't wait to bet on the inplay odds when Bud is down a couple rounds

 

[⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐]

 

[Hawala Man]

Winner will win by decision and they will run the rematch in 3 months before the year ends. Also think first fight will do record numbers and there will be controversy who was the real winner to build hype for the part 2.

 

[JamesJabdi]

a little over a week for the fight....can't believe it

Errol will be undisputed
