To me, that was a Chavez-Like performance, Spence went in chest to chest and hit dude everywhere, every round! Spence was no nonsense in the ring, he's not playing around hot doggin, under-training or not taking the sport seriously.

    For the past year I've been leaning towards Crawford but that performance against a strong fighter like Ugas got me back in the Spence camp.
    Any MAN, who talks like a jealous teenage girl about another man, is more interested about talking about their jealousy than boxing. They need to move onto a sport that they belong. Like daily soap operas.

      Spence is definitely a fighter to follow. Glad he made great performance against Ugas. The fight hype with Bud is renewed bc of it.

      Hope we get that next.

        My fav fighter. Seems like a straight up guy. Not interested in fame or being famous, serious throwback fighter, and a humble beast.

        His performance last Saturday was up there with the best of Roman Gonzalez or Chavez…the way he went to work and was fluid and machine like.

        His ability to beat people at their own game is insane.

          Def not true, all companies make the best vs the best from time to time. TR is giving us Kambosas vs Haney and Shakur vs Valdez.

            Errol Spence is a straight up weight bully.

                  So Ugas wasn't the physically bigger fighter in the ring? Or do you just see what you want to see?

                      I remember him off to a bit of a Rocky start against Brook. My brother said he will settle in and then start to push. He did.
                      He has great fundamentals. He keeps his defensive hand high whenever he throws a punch. That sounds simple enough, but plenty drop theirs. He never gets sloppy. He maintains pressure. His defence is sound. He has no major exploitable weaknesses.
                      Basically it just all boils down to if he can do his thing vs a guy like Crawford? Is he more dynamic than Bud? Does he hit harder? I’m not so sure, but he’s capable of starting fast. Not something Crawford has shown as much of. I think Bud hits harder and comes on once he’s taken a few. Very tough fight to call.
                      Am I wrong to think if it doesn’t go the distance it will be a Crawford win? IF it does a Spence win?
                      If they sign, ill assume opening odds of -125-150 Bud.
