[Wacked_Out]

It's a miracle!!! Oh boy, I am so happy he's going to be ok. Too bad about the Pac fight. I'm just amazed he didnt get Covid!!!

I guess we will never know who is the best WW. There goes the Crawford, Pacman fight.

I totally agree with spence, Family first...

Early retirement for Spence.

Atleast he had 0 loss.

uncle Tom Hopkins is a idiot and should be ashamed of himself

Dr Gelber should show proof of surgery.. Still feel there's more to this..

It's like when did he really tear his retina? Maybe it's been there since the car accident. Spence was just hiding it hoping it won't get found out.. I don't know.. It's weird..

Yes the doctor should show evidenced it's easy to say something but you do nothing...

[pasawayako]

If it was true that spence was injured then he should just stay retired he's more fragile than thurman...

First of all I hope Errol heals and takes care of himself. It's the only way he can be a good father and look after his family. As for boxing, surely all commissions should make this examination mandatory. I can't believe it's done by some and not by others. And can the ABC not enforce commissions to order this?

So many women here having their time of the months so angry. Ease up baby.. Just want the facts be cleared..

Spence should know better.. If he had this tear. He should have had felt those early signs of a tear. This isn't everything buddy boy..

And even if he got a surgery. Still sucks ass. He through his career away after that car crash..

Lesson here is..

Don't drink and drive if you don't want to waste your life away..

I don't think Spence will be the same..

Such a let down don't you agree?

Fool you don’t feel a retina detachment….if it’s not causing you to have white specs yet it can go unnoticed for some time…..eye exams pre/post fight exams done by doctors are only way to detect it….you on a boxing forum trying give life advice just shows how much of a clown you are and you have no idea what you talking about

Giving him credit for zero losses is giving him credit for what he hasn't done.

Plenty to give Spence credit for but zero losses is easy to achieve just stay at home and fight no one, say he fought Crawford three times but lost one that would still be way better than his zero.

Atleast he had 0 loss.

Maybe it has been there since the accident. Maybe he has been hiding it. What does it matter how and when it happened. It's there. What is weird about it? It's an injury, it needs fixing, it's really that simple lol.

What matters is we boxing fans was looking forward to this epic showdown that could have been the best fight of the year, but due to Spence fumbling by being irresponsible enough not to notice his got a torn retina 2 weeks near the fight is a huge debbie downer. What we got is a fight we didn't want.

Whether you are a Pacfan or a not. The Pac Spence fight is a fight real boxing fans were salivating to see.

Partly I really feel, as a human being.. This serious issues in a man's body should have been felt and checked earlier.. So that everyone involved won't be affected by this disappointment. Spence fumbled bad and affected PBC, Pacquiao's Camp, Fans, private investors, gamblers, etc.. It's really irresponsible of him not to notice this..

Heck I even think he might have that tear even during his DSG fight. That car crash was a second life for him, but it's clear now that he lost a bit of his health because of that..
