Lawrence Okolie might be the worst fighter I've ever seen in a while. Hugs and clinches even worse than Klitchko :huhldup:. It's shocking he's held his belt for so long, so glad he lost

He beat some good opponents though but I feel you, unwatchable style, I don't know if I ever seen a pro on this level being as scared to get hit as Okolie is. I'm also glad he lost, didn't expect it at all in that fight but glad that it happened

From a boxing perspective, I honestly don't know what James can do to close the gap. He's much slower than Crawford. Footwork isn't as good as Crawford. That haymaker-esque hook that he throws will leave him open to Crawford's precise counter-punching.

Look to throw in the towel early and collect that paycheck

the funny thing is Crawford doesnt even rate Spence's power at all :heh:...and thats just a boxing perspective Doc...now it all depends on what weight Crawford picks for this fight...if its 147, Spence gets packed up in short order...at 154 prolly will get packed up too.

I want it to be 154 or even 160. Let Crawford get used to being in a heavier weight class, to prepare for Canelo :wow:

Regardless of how you feel about Spence, why wouldn't he take a rematch? lol he negoitated that shyt for a reason. He's a man and he has pride, he deserves to chance to try and redeem himself.

Half of yall had Spence winnin before da fight and now he don't belong anywhere near crawford in a ring? lol yall switch up quick. Holyfield beat da shyt out of Tyson and no one complained about him wanting a rematch

That's another thing. People expecting Spence to be stronger at 154...

Do they not think that Crawford will be stronger at 154?

His pride and him being a man aside, he was beaten so bad even the hardcore Spence fans have a hard time feeling like there should be rematch.
