This was a good interview. Spence sounds completely normal like he was before the accident. Says he wasn't disciplined enough last year with his weight and is more focused now.
al gaymon and the duck spence don't want any part of crawford. they will blame arum. arum could retire tomorrow and they still wouldn't make the fight. they will blame the networks conveniently forgetting that fury vs wilder 2 ppv got made for both ESPN and fox. they will try to paint crawford out to be a non draw forgetting that he has headlined two ppv main events who sells out in his hometown and draws wherever he goes. bottom line is expect more excuses from spence.
So Crawford resigned with Arum knowing that all of the other relevant welters were with PBC but it’s them that are ducking him? Surely you understand how dumb that sounds.
Spence sadly looks and sounds dumb. His brain may be damaged by the crash. He talks but he says nothing really.
Sounds like a perfect discrimination of YOU!
2021? Make it this year you coward.
I swear none of these chumps want to make anything happen. Probably waiting on another fat lightweight to challenge him.
Yeah he should fight Crawford in June at crowded Dallas stadium.
Spence still sounds like he's in duck mode. "Hopefully it can happen next year..." We heard it all before.
I doubt any boxer right now is making long term plans of this year.
I see this is a hate on Spence thread, but I'll comment anyway.
That was a life changing accident. Those who are pushing for a quick fight to "resolve" things aren't boxing fans or sportsfans. At best they might be paid "marinators", lol, drumming up the eventual promotion (hopefully). But no true "Sportsman/Sportswoman" would be wanting Spence or anyone else to take a fight quickly after that accident, let alone a championship fight.
Our brains and bodies are quite amazing, but very delicate and fragile. No matter how anyone feels about it, Spence should be very, very careful going forward ... testing his mind and body in steps and fully evaluating the results. I still believe Spence will be VERY fortunate IF he can ever be able to fight again. I hope he resists the money and goading to jump in there and end up losing his ability to function NORMALLY the rest of his life. No amount of money is worth that. And people pushing and rushing him are the last people he should listen to or worry about.
Spence shouldn't fight for two years ... minimum, just to have proper time for everything to settle and be checked as normal and ok ... both at leisure and under duress. Even more time for checking at EXTREME DURESS, like a championship fight against elite fighters.
No one wanted to see Spence/Crawford more than I did. But, Spence may never be the same guy again. There should be a lot of time and attention taken before anyone responsible would sponsor Spence in that ring ... no matter even what he says. Only time can clear him, and even the Crawford fight is not big enough to risk being wrong about his condition.
Not what any of us fans wanted to have happen, see or hear, but life and fatherhood supercede our entertainment desires. Take your time Team Spence for Spence sake.
PS - He went to England and fought Brook, there has never been any fear.
Haymon is down to nothing. Davis draws nothing. Wilder is nothing and draws nothing. Spence is all Haymon has left. No way no chance he risks Spence vs Arum and Crawford. He will be rigged for his next ten fake fights.
What did you think of winky knocking out Monzon in the b.s. tourney.
