Comments Thread For: Spence: I Feel Like I'm On Borrowed Time Right Now; Can't Just Sit Around, Fight Tune-Up

Nice words, but Spence shoyld really get someine to read him all of his statementswalk away and let him think. If he comes back with excuses instead of acknowledging what he's been doing then we would know that he means that he's running out of options to cash out.

I like Spence and think he is capable of beat Ugas but I'm not optimistic about him and Bud ever fighting for undisputed

Spence has definitely hurt his chances of beating Crawford, if they ever do fight.
I saw it as a almost a pick-um fight before Spence sustained severe injuries to his body.
That said I'm picking Crawford to beat Spence, and I mean without any hesitation on my part.
You never fully recover from injuries like the one's that Spence has suffered.
Crawford will capitalize on Spence's old injuries where Danny Garcia couldn't.
Simply because Crawford is a combination puncher, with more grit, and determination.

Well put. A guy’s activity outside the ring effects his in ring legacy, this is inevitable.

I agree with you 100%, Southpaw16, the lingering effect's of those crashes, and the eye surgery, have left him a compromised fighter.
Those old injuries can be re-injured easier in his subsequent fights, especially by a puncher like Crawford.
Let's see how he does against Ugas first, who's not known for his punching power, but is an exceptional boxer.
He should be able to beat Ugas, then it's on with Crawford, and watch out because these two have been talking **** to each other for some time.

“I knew if I fight in a tune-up or anything like that, like I could, you know, sneak snacks in at night and, you know, do other stuff cuz, you know, I’m not fighting somebody that I feel like that’s on my level.”


That sounds like self-knowledge, but it’s the exact opposite of his history.

It was doing other stuff that landed him in his own self-made trouble on the freeway.

And that happened coming off his toughest fight to date, Spence reaching deep for the close win over Porter in a FOTY candidate. So it wasn’t like he wasn’t pushing himself: he pushed himself to the limit in the ring. Unfortunately he didn’t know his limits outside it.

Good luck to him. A fantastic fighter with more than his share of demons.

You're a 100% correct, because before I read your post I was wondering what kind of psychological demon's were troubling him.
We have to realize that combat sports in, and of themselves not only cause physical damage, but psychological damage as well.
There's a lot more anxiety due to pressure, fear, trauma, training, camp disputes, and family discourse, all factors that they contend with.
It can be a lonely existence, with many dark places, fake friends, unscrupulous promoters, antagonistic reporter's, and provoking opponent's.
It all catches up with the best of them, and it has to be released in one form, or another, when it does watch out because you don't know what's coming.

You denied pac an unbelievable last win. Short notice change against ugas threw pac off. But of course your sight comes first but so untimely and annoying

You saw pac's last performance and thought he could've beaten a healthy Spence?

You saw that spence struggling to make weight and getting punked by sparring partners not fighting at their best because theyre trying to immitatr pacquiao's unique style and you think he couldav beaten a pacquiao who qas looking sharp af? You know in yourself why he ducked, clown.

Now everything spence just says in these past few weeks are him trying to get pity and things he wanted to do, like get crawford sooner, which is obviously never the case

Pac said that anyone who thinks spence ducked him / faked an injury is delusional

I agree if they ever do fight I'd pick Bud but I dont believe we get that fight

But we've seen with last minute replacements, look at Josh v ruiz off too of my head.
so you saying pac would look even worse v spence that's like triangle theory isn't it?
Pac had big balls to sign fight just annoying what played out. Not saying spence ducked
