Some of the same Spence fanboys clamoring for a bud rematch were saying canelo don't deserve a rematch with bivol cause it wasn't close. Even though Spence got his ass whooped 10 times worse. At least canelo was recognizable after the fight
But I have no problems with Spence activating the rematch clause. No other fight will satisfy him. He prolly won't even be able to get motivated for anything else. And I know seeing bud rock that fisherman vest everywhere got him hot.....Spence's team shoulda stepped in and told him to hold off if they really cared about him. But I respect it on Spence's end. Dude is a warrior. And he wants payback. He prolly can't even sleep after that ass whooping. He needs the rematch for closure. And I promise you bud gonna give him that closure he's seeking. In devastating style.
The difference between Canelo and Spence is Canelo stopped trying to win after awhile. Canelo was content with taking a UD loss. Canelo got some quit in him fasho. He shown it with Floyd and Bivol. Spence kept going and got stopped, if Canelo kept trying to win he probably would have got beaten up worse, but he wasn’t willing to walk through fire to win. We all knew Canelo wouldn’t take the rematch by his actions during the fight.
How you respect a boxer who basically tucked his tail during a fight and clown Spence who kept swing for the fences trying to win knowing he was down big. Canelo causally took his UD loss and he know he was down by big. I can’t respect that.

Imo it’s just ppl think it was a complete blowout that shouldn’t deserve a rematch but under the current circumstances where every other big fight has rematch clauses.
Can’t blame Spence but most of us hoped his team will tell him better not to take it.
Some of his fans celebrating it is funny too, like are you even a fan of this guy to want to see a rematch of that massacre that took place.

This is nonsense
...Canelo threw more power punches than bivol over the last 4 rounds. Canelo threw over 30 power punches in 3 of the last 4 rounds. Spence only cracked 30 one time the entire fight.Truth is most of the power shots Spence threw in the last 3 rounds were him just trying to keep bud at bay. He wasn't really trying to do damage. He pretty much conceded victory after the 7th. In the 8th bud took his foot off the gas and Spence just retreated the entire time. That's when bud knew his will was done. Then he put him out of his misery in the 9th. Spence gets props for remaining on his feet but he didn't have much fight left him when the fight got called. Difference between Spence and canelo is canelo can actually move his head and evade punches. Spence can't. Spence doesn't know how to fight any other way except to come forward and eat punches.

Why would his team tell him not to take it, Spence has shown that he is built completely different than most of the PBC stable..
Some people just can’t take an asswhooping and move on. No matter what he do in his career after the Crawford fight that asswhooping would still be overshadowing him.
I commend him for stepping up, most boxers are scared to lose or get embarrassed, look at how Loma, Fury, Canelo, Tank, Garcia moving.
I find it crazy that people expect somebody just to get beat on and just move on. Spence obviously ain’t built like that.

Canelo was down big in reality. He had to know he was getting his asswhooped, he showed really no since of urgency. You can’t keep doing the same thing when you getting your asswhooped and you not taking punches. Soon if you really wanted to win you will put yourself in harms way.
Like I said Canelo took that UD loss smooth as hell and Bivol was happy to let him.
Ok now you saying Spence concedes and and gave up
, when everybody is saying yea he got beat up but he went out like a warrior. Spence maybe took a breather or had to try to get his wits under him, you know getting your asswhoop do drain you and weaken your legs. But he never conceded.I’m just saying you can’t shyt on Spence for trying to win and praise Canelo because his face looked clean just by making it through the bell. He should have been gunning for the KO since round 9 if we being real. In a fight that’s not close, IMO losing by KO is better than losing by UD.
And only one of these 2 fighters activated their rematch clause, so you argueing for nothing, Bivol even said he wanted to come to 168 for the rematch but Canelo ducked it. That’s all you need to know about Canelo will to win vs Bivol. The sad part about is y’all Canelo fans just let that happen without a peep.

As I said, problem isn't with Spence but the overabundance of built-in rematch clauses and I gave you a reason why a lot of us didn't want this rematch.

Having fun in there
I wanna hear some predictions
Sunny isn’t the usual British boxer and Mexicans don’t like slickness but I’m still not sold.

That half was wrong and they got strong evidence presented to them, it's not about switching up, not about who's a fan of whom, just believing your eyes. Don't know why a Spence fan would look forward to a rematch after seeing the first. There are no positives from the first one that he can build on and that would indicate he will do any better this time, but if they want to see their guy get beat up again this bad...
Bud could kill the rematch if he really wanted to because he decides the weight, he'd just have to say it's 147. He probably won't though cause after the first one it's a low-risk high-reward fight for him. Rematch someone you destroyed less than a year ago with you getting the bigger slice of the pie this time... Yeah, he'll take it

But the thing is a lot of y’all who dnt want to see it is not Spence fans, fans of Spence want to see him try to avenge it…
Rematch clauses are just the new standard in boxing nowadays..sadly.

Yeah that's what's strange to me cause I don't know what you base your hopes on that it will go differently but don't waste more time arguing, it's happening whether we like it or not, just get over with it quick

The Spence we saw against Crawford was so off i was in disbelief....a man who never been down was down alot of times.....a man who is known to take punches looked like he never took a punch....a man who throws bombs usually now had pillow fists....and it didn't help bud was in the best shape of his life.
Should the fight have been at 154 the first time? Maybe but that doesn't take away how badly Spence was prepared for this. I personally don't want to see a rematch. I understand it though because bud is at the end of his career and he might never have a chance again.
Bud is clearly the favorite now.....spence gotta be on his A+ game for the rematch....don't talk about trying to make a classic fight next time....try to put on a clinic
