Comments Thread For: Spence-Crawford: Showtime's Espinoza 'Optimistic' Fight 'Gets Done,' But No Announcement Saturday

[champion4ever]

I really wish people quit blowing smoke up our noses and tell us the truth. Will there be a fight or not?

Judging from this article we didn’t learn a damn thing. Other than the two sides are still negotiating.

Will there be an announcement or pending announcement on Saturday or after Saturday or when? This is all BS.

If the CEO doesn't know......

Crawford tampered gloves vs sPEDnce will not happen.

He has never looked 200 lbs. That'll be obese for his height lol

Crawford gets over 170 and you can tell he’s nowhere near as heavy as Spence between fights.

I actually don't give a dam anymore

It was never going to be June 17th. Back when the rumors started to circulate on NSB I looked at the date and saw that if it were true, they would've had to start camp that weekend if they were going to have a 10 week camp. I'm sure by now someone would've seen something and reported it but no.

You act like individuals haven't had 6 and 8 week camps....... It's easy after the fact to try and play like you didn't actually expect that date to be truth. Every platform was reporting it. Even though I was cautious, I had hopes that it would be true.

Good thing we have to great fights at Light weight. You guys showing the old dogs how things get done.

Crawford outboxes Spence. Spence is just weight bully who is scared to move up to light middleweight.

Ummmm.....lets stop with the crowning of "lightweight" showing the old dogs how things get done...... Truthfully...... Tank is a lightweight who has fought ZERO world champs at the division. Ryan is a lightweight who have fought ZERO world champs at the division. These 2 are part of the huge Hype Machine that is these new fans and YouTube Channels. Tank, Ryan, Haney, Loma, & Teo were suppose to be the wave of lightweights that revived the spirit of boxing yet only 2 of them up to this point had been in the ring with each other...... I love that Shakur is now in the division because we know he wouldn't mind mixing it up with any of them....even though Teo has already jumped to 140 and Haney/Ryan isn't too far behind him.

I agree Crawford outboxes Spence, and I strongly believe that his power is underrated...... I'll also point out that Spence isn't scared to move up to 154 because he started his career there. He moved down after his 10th pro bout in order to become a contender for a world title, thus the reason Thurman lacked respect for him as a potential opponent until he actually won a title. Spence is now trying to move back to his original division because his options at 147 is Crawford/Ennis/Thurman/Ortiz/Stanionis......all who have the ability to hurt and/or beat him..... There are dangerous opponents at 154 as well, but he wouldn't be mandated to face any of them any time soon. Being that Charlo holds the titles, he wouldn't be pressured to face the champ being that both of them share the same trainer.

Pacquiao will fight and retire again before these two get their courage in order.

......right.....because these 2 are obviously afraid to fight and get the largest payday of their career thus far............(sarcasm)


Your comment makes zero sense. This fight not happening has NOTHING to do with either man's courage.... That may be how YOU function in life if something doesn't happen for you then it's probably because of fear, but these 2 are dealing with politics that none of us have ever faced being that none of us are or have ever fought for millions under a contract with a huge promotion company.......

The fight not happening is not on the fighters. It's ignorant to suggest the fighters are the issue. They clearly have no issue with competition otherwise they would be at the level they are.

[Str8.2.Da.Point]

Noone cares. All talk for over a year now.

Yet you are here amongst others discussing the fight and the possibilities.........

If YOU don't care, stop clicking on the links on subjects that don't matter to YOU.

There's a long of threads on this site and others that I can care less about and if you read through them, you'll never see me making a single post in them. No even a point letting a bunch of strangers know that I don't care........FOH....

Only way it happens is if Crawford recognizes he’s not a big money draw. I think that BLK Prime $10 million number was bogus and Crawford doesn’t have any other options. Probably why Broner bailed on them as well.
Fight is well past it’s prime date and both guys are on the wrong side of their careers. Should have happened in 2016.

Nothing you said is factual. But when people get a WiFi connection, I guess they don't need to be, because they feel their opinions are valuable.

You should really start reading and/or do research. Crawford and BLK Prime confirmed that all moneys had been paid... Unless you have Crawford's tax forms.....it's ignorant to try to push a notion that he didn't receive what both parties said he did.

Broner signing with Don King had more to do with he had a contract to fight and it never happened. He had 3 different opponents all walk away from the fight.... How is that on BLK. They can't honor a contract that wasn't fulfilled.

And how TF was Crawford supposed to fight Spence in 2016? In 2016, Spence hadn't even won a world title yet. He fought Algeri and Bundu that year. Crawford, in 2016, wasn't even a damn welterweight...... Crawford had just move to 140lbs after winning his first world title at 135lbs. 2016 was the year he re-signed with Top Rank off the promise that he would get a shot at Manny Pacquiao if he was to have a great showing vs Freddie Roach's other fighter......undefeated Viktor Postol, whom Crawford 12-0'ed him and put him on the canvas twice. The following year Crawford won Fighter of the Year for the second time placing him on top of the p4p list......Spence/Crawford didn't even become a thing until 2018 after Crawford had became undisputed and challenged all the champions at 147 as he vacated those titles and moved up.
