Moving well, reactive and attentive throughout, eyes lucid going into the 9th rd. So no brain damage, drained or w/e else excuse people have been using. He did a lot better than what it looked like live. Only thing I can say “possibly” was different with Spence, was that he might’ve been slightly weaker than usual, but strength is relative to your opponent and there was also VADA testing, so that limits the steroid strength.
Something I was reminded of on rewatch is the lowblows from Spence. Guy started to resort to his usual lowblows in rd 5, and it was effective, flustered Crawford allowing Spence to land his best punch of the fight, and Crawford started to get wild with his offense for a bit. Lowblows are underrated game-changer’s. Though in this case it just made Crawford beat Spence up worse. Rd 5 a hard warning, rd 6 a hard warning, rd 7 Crawford punishes Spence. There was likely more lowblows, but Harvey Doc probably didn’t want to have to take a point from Spence.
Neither was drained. When we talk about “drained” it’s when the boiling down took too much from the fighter, he’s weak, lethargic and fragile. But it wasn’t the case here. If you’re definition of drained is anyone boiling down in weight, then everyone is drained and it’s redundant. Spence nor Crawford were drained.
What weight did each fighter weigh in fight night? And how much weight do you think each fighter had to drop in order to make the 147 weight limit?
Both fighters were drained, Crawford just made the weight better 'That is the dynamic of most match ups in the lower weight classes within this modern era'.
If a fighter uses weight draining techniques to make the limit, they are going to be weight drained. Some fighters have been doing this for so long, that they don't actually know what being in at their best actually means.
You cannot answer the questions, I have posed to you because 'If you do answer they correctly, this will show that physiologically both fighters were drained'.
Note: This takes nothing away from Crawford's win, I am merely just describing the dynamic of the competition in the lower weight classes 'Floyd Mayweather & Bernard Hopkins were the last all-time great fighters who seemed not to buy into the toxic weight draining culture greatly. And neither of these fighters have ever made the excuse of making the weight for ANY of their performances win or lose etc.
It's the most convenient excuse lol. He fought exactly how he always fought just so happen he fought a guy that was better everywhere.
I mean dude doesn't even look like a legit 154 pounder. He'd be one of the smaller ones in that division.
He looks to get bloated after fights that's why his weight cuts are tough but to me he doesn't look like a LMW
Did Crawford or Spence Junior weigh 147-150 pounds on the night of fight?
How much weight do you think each fighter had to lose to actually make the 147 pound limit?
Both fighters were weight drained mate, that is how it is these days with a large majority of lower weight classes fighters.
It is just that Crawford in comparison to Spence Junior made the weight more easily.
Both fighters technically were drained, they both weight drained themselves to make the weight.
This is all apart of the toxic modern day weight draining culture, that some fighters chose to incorporate into their training etc.
