I know some people that know a person who is close to Spence lol. I CAN'T CONFIRM but the word is Errol had a speech impediment of some sort years ago and the wreck may have brought it back to some degree along with him not being comfortable with his new teeth just yet. Once again I can't confirm this, just heard it through the grapevine. But allegedly that's why he was speaking the way he was last night

He looked a bit swollen too but if he really feels he will be ready for serious opponents in May or June already then go ahead. I'm skeptic about it but it's not like it would be unheard of either.

I'll just go with the teeth surgery because he sounded like Errol Spence to me. I've administered dentures in a mouth before and she sounded different afterwards. Comes with the territory.

Dubois has some serious power, you could argue he has the 2nd most power after Wilder in the division currently. Would put Wilder first then any 1 of AJ or Dubois, would have to see Dubois’ translate against better opposition but I feel like it will. Won’t be walkovers but he genuinely looks very heavy handed. His jab is a problem because people won’t want to keep getting hit with that, he has a very very solid jab, his jab is like somebody else’s straight shot. Get the impression he’d beat a lot of people in the division right now, power looks serious but he must step up, beating these type of opponents doesn’t really do him any good, if he ends up doing it to the likes of Joyce his rep will start increasing dramatically. Within the next 2 years he could be a mandatory for somebody.

It can take 5-10 years for your brain to heal from post concussion syndrome. Imagine having to heal from one when you gotta take punches to the head for your occupation.

I witnessed my boy get it after 1 fight and he was never the same after. He was in there w a hard puncher at 168. Speech was slurred, taking longer to reply to convo, wild agressive when we would hit the clubs n shyt. Maybe im getting soft w age but ima always be on the side of caution when it comes to head trauma. We already had way too many sad stories in boxing. Would hate to see that happen to a guy with a family he has to provide for.
