I don’t think it was any of that I think he gets hit too much and doesn’t punch hard enough and that’s a recipe for disaster against Bud. He will look better with n this fight for sure but he will absorb some licks
I think it does matter because even Bud was shocked when Soence connected how ineffective he was compared to everyone saying Spence is a thudding puncher, Bud has been rocked before so it isn't like he is Canelo or GGG

Thudding puncher he is, crisp ko power no. Everyone always talked about Bud being rocked while ignoring the circumstances. Gamboa is a fast fighter with power and at lower weight Bud was able to feel it more but mainly because of the speed of Gamboa. Porter said the same thing when comparing Spence to Bud. I don’t think Spence lost that much power. Bud could see the shots and he is a very physically strong guy like Floyd is. I always bring up how Spinks was hurt multiple times by the speedy and crisp punching Zab but went to 160 against another thudding puncher in Taylor and pretty much came out unscathed. Meanwhile Taylor was hurting middleweights like Pavlik. I am not going to say their camp was perfect but Spence and James been training long enough to know what tf to do and not.

Another reminder that just because you are popular or hold a title that doesn’t translate in to millions. Business of boxing is still a dirty game. This brother seems to be doing just fine though because he is seemingly in great health! :salute:
yeah man ishe has had quite the career

Lotta folks say including Victor Conte that Spence was running mountains the week or close to the fight and had altitude sickness on top of the weight cut. this fight would tell us if it is was a fluke or dude really done.

Thats all common news folks fail to realize, he was also compromised before any of that, so add to it, Bud caught dude at the right time.

Motha fukking Spence man .. this is insanity bro got stopped and he's taking on Fundora who's NO slouch himself. Fundora is there to be hit but MAN this is CRAZY.


Fundora has the skillset to retire errol if he's not on his A game.
yall do remember Fundora was KOd in the fight before his title shot with Tim Kazoo right?
