Lawrence Cole told Ugas to stop fighting and instead of jumping in between the two fighters, he let Ugas hit Spence with a clean one two. While Spence shouldn't have turned away, the ref did call for a break in the action. Depending on the ref, Ugas could've been DQ'd for that. For real, go and re watch the tape, you can see Lawrence Cole say Stop not once, but twice.
TC may have heard Cole yell stop and so do nothing, cant say what another would do in that situation.
Naw man. Spence got it right- protect yourself at all times. A vet like Crawford would not stop like Ugas did.
If Spence does same with Crawford he’s gonna be in trouble. Any old school fighter takes advantage of the mistakes.

Spence done what you do in sparing if you lose a mouthpiece, he lost focus and did what he has done in the gym before, now he has been clocked for it I bet it never happens again.

Ugas also hit Spence way after the bell multiple times,hes a dirty fighter who should've had a pt deducted for ignoring the ref also.
He also constantly, and blatantly pushed Spence. There was clear shoving by Ugas in improper moments. Like when Spence was on the inside going to the body and around Ugas guard, no holding or anything by Spence, just inside fighting. And Ugas continuously shoved him away. Pushing is perfectly fine if your opponent is holding you, wrestling, trying to headlock you. But you can’t shove just because you are losing a clean, inside battle.
He still got wobbled b4 the mouthpiece was knocked out. And fcuk lawrence cole, that was NOT a moment to pause the fight. That foo sux
when he paused the fight that moment of free shots was way gone, Ugas had all the time in the world and Errol smiled at him and bashed him.
Ugas got two free and clean punches on Spence, right on the button. That was his shot to get the KO. While Spence did look visibly hurt and was likely held up only by the ropes (which is a KD), he still showed that it will take more than just a sucker punch to KO him.
As we have seen, if you are chinny, yes sucker punches can KO an opponent. Mayweather isn’t the biggest puncher, but he caught Ortiz off guard in retaliation for Ortiz’s intentional headbutts and he got the KO.
I have seen enough of Spence to know Crawford will need more than just firepower. But we have also seen enough of Crawford to know that you can be a lesser fighter, with some pop, and hurt him. As Gamboa and Kav showed. Spence isn’t a lesser fighter, and has good pop.
Crawford has shown that he needs room to be effective. The most discomforting parts of the Porter fight was when Porter was fighting on the inside, making it a dog fight. Porter won those rounds, which were about 4 different rounds out of the 9. Porter’s issue however, is that he smothers his own work as well, which he did the same vs Kell Brook. Spence showed that he can smother Ugas while also effectively going to the body and also punching around Ugas guard. Spence did not smother his own work while nullifying Ugas. He kind of looked like Andre Ward in there.
If Spence can make it a dog fight with Crawford, keep it inside, smother Crawford, while not smothering himself, it can be a long & grueling night Crawford.
I think its a much closer fight than many think, the thing I like about Errol is he now has a fire burning white hot inside him, has his diet and conditioning the best it can be, definitely a force to be reckoned with, it has the potential to be a barn burner.
Nice post. It was an awkward moment for sure. Other than that mistake, Errol pretty much pitched a shutout and really looked good imo. Way better version of Errol than we got against Danny Garcia. I can’t wait for the Undisputed fight with Crawford.

- - Now, there U go again, Kevvy.
Some shouted a command and "I'm fairly infirm" Joe looked one way, and Ortiz the other with chin up. l'l floydy so weak his first shot didn't budge Vic who not being an actor, he reset with a better angle for a meatier shot.
Please don't insult Spence who never did anything bad to U wif Wart comparisons, I mean, U really watch boxing?

The spence haters will skip past this
I seen the ref shouting stop but still carried on however spence acknowledged that he sould have covered up.He got a chin tho to take that shot full and carry on boxing.
