Anybody who saw the Spence vs Crawford could easily see something was wrong with Errol Spence. Thats why the world was in disbelief. That don't take nothing away from Bud though because he came and did his thing. Errol made the fight happen and pushed for that fight and weren't 100% and he has to eat that
yeah it wasnt a concern..for the majority...i doubled down after on saying spence is taxed, @TheNig is meaning how ppl were ignoring the signs of what happened in that ugas fight because spence ended up stopping ugas and fukked ugas eye up...thats why i dapped it...in fact that fight led to a lot of bad casual conversation leading up to crawford-spence fight
People were just in denial and I include myself in that number. That accident took a lot out of dude and his punch resistance was greatly diminished after it. Spence is such a likable dude a lot of us just didn’t want to believe it, but the signs were clearly there from the speech, reaction to punches, reflexes, etc.
There’s a saying, “The worst lies told are the lies we tell ourselves.”
i mentioned over and over...spence before that accident..was coming off a war with shawn porter where he was getting lit up...so his body didnt even have a chance to completely heal up from that and within a month he suffers that accident...the human body can only take so much punishment..thats why im like going to 154 is not going to solve anything...it may make him food therePeople were just in denial and I include myself in that number.

I remember before the Garcia fight, I was hoping he was in good form because it was his first fight since the wreck.
Garcia had some moments but overall Spence beat him up. So after that, I stopped worrying. The Ugas fight happened and he did Ugas worse than he did Garcia.
So why is it after a really good performance and an absolutely dominant performance no one said anything about his health but when he got smoked by a much smaller fighter, all of sudden something's wrong.

There is absolutely no point in history where Spence doesn't get destroyed by Terence Crawford. None. He was always tailor made for bud.

Y'all are so full of shyt.
Miss me with this trash. Wasn't nothing wrong with that nikka when he mauled Ugas.
He should retire. 154 got some *Mayweather voice* young hungry lions that are chomping at the bit to get a big named scalp.
He really wants to fight Bud again, though. Albeit, I feel like he’s one of those people that really won’t listen to anyone that’s telling him to retire, unfortunately.
Bruh... I'm done. I've said my piece. Y'all can arguing with these cats. There's a new excuse every month. Next month it'll be that Spence is actually trans and Crawford is wrong for beating up a naturally born woman like that.
I'm out.

They saying it’s the same eye he had the other surgery on
Looks like it’s his “lead” eye too, which would be the one getting jabbed at by a conventional stance
Spence always talked about how Haymon would take care of him in retirement, it’s time to test that claim out imo

Breh, he was hurt to the body several times in that fight. He wobbled by a punch that didn’t even land. It’s like Ugas’s forearm or some shyt landed and he was wobbled before his mouth piece came out and Ugas sent his equilibrium to the shadow realm.
Ugas is not a puncher, man. He hurt Spence at least 5 times in that fight.
Bud beat Spence’s ass. I’m not even talking about that fight. What I’m saying is if you watch Spence’s fights before and after the wreck, he really should retire when you account for the difference injuries, age, wreck, etc.
Stop being weird. You’re a good poster.

Yea I just watched a YT video about this surgery and dude listed 9 different excuses ppl used on that beatdown
I heard most of them in here already but it was a couple new ones like his girl gave him something to drink before the fight that made him drowsy
Yeah.... I'm done. nikkas over explaining what happened in a previous fight that a man won to validate why they lost their next fight.
Reflex just said it and I said it awhile back and I'll go into detail this time. But after this, I'm done...
There is no time in the history of their existence that Spence beats Crawford.
Spence fights in a straight line with little to no head or foot movement. The overhand right he throws ventures out like a haymaker, which leaves him open to only God knows what kinda punches. He's very fundamental when it comes to putting punches together and leading but he doesn't counter very well and can't fight off the back foot because of the poor footwork.
He's all kinds of wrong for a guy like Crawford who can move, counter, give angles, and works everything off the jab.
This is why I said Pacquiao would have given him problems and possibly beat him.
