i finally watched it. danny tried. he just cant completely change who he is. he is a slow, short-armed counter puncher.
spence looks great for somebody who crashed a car and has ring rust.
this is the best time for crawford to win. he should take the fight immediately, even if it is a 60/40. if he wins, the rematch can be 50/50
Pretty much this. Danny is a very good fighter but has physical limitations he cannot overcome at 147 against the elites. In this fight he was just too slow and short armed and his counter punching prowess just doesnt work against a bigger, stronger, longer pressure fighter.
The one punch that worked very well for Danny was the straight right to the body. While I do believe Errol gassed I think a huge reason were the body shots. This is the first fight I've seen where Errol was affected by body punching. I also thought Spence looked very lean compared to his other fights. He desperately needs to go back to his old coach because 4 fights in a row now he has gassed out and complained about it afterwards.
The last fighter I remember complaining like this about gassing out after each fight was Kovalev. It finally caught up with him against Ward the second fight.
Spence is only 30 and hasn't been in any wars. He shouldn't be gassing out like this. It's either the weight class or his conditioning program.
