Just watched it again for like the 10th time

Ik spence a body snatcher but by like the 3rd round he shoulda ditched that plan and tried more of a counter punching approach

Everytime he went downstairs he payed the price for it, what’s crazy too is he was looking for a knockout punch but still kept going downstairs and keep getting countered

Breh also shoulda listened to DJ, he was deadass standing right in front of Bud the whole fight

The problem was Spence was used to being able to just walk through guys punches and physically overwhelming them and got sloppy technique wise. Against Bud he couldn't do that because Bud was way too strong and way too skilled with the counter punching.

spence was a good fighter but always was sloppy in a way. no head movement defensively and can't fight on the backfoot. and then staying in the high guard. that shawn porter fight let me know he was on borrowed time. shawn is athletic but the just the basic feints, studder steps and double triple jabs had spence uneasy all night.

combined with the accident, undisciplined lifestyle- it was inevitable. he should have took the fight back in 18, early 19 when bud was calling him out, would have been more competitive. but i guess its easier to drag up mikey garcia and fight shawn porter the "easy route".

i figured he would at least get maybe 1-2 earlier rounds before bud adjusted. but he really only got the 1st round and that's just cause bud basically gave that away to find his range.

cats talking about the weight issues but dude was eating burgers and all that stuff making weight on all the access, said the nutritionist was helping and that was the best he felt. then after the fight, we hearing all the stories/excuses from everyone.

i was at this fight- the energy was incredible there and that first kd- the t-mobile arena went crazy. i got the chills in there, felt anxious like i was fighting in there. after the fight, it was like a funeral, a lot of souls crushed. i won money on a bud knockout
