Comments Thread For: Spence On Avoiding Tuneups: "It Shouldn't Take Another Fight For Me To Be Sharp and On Point"

He was definitely gonna fight Thurman lmfao you think haymon was gonna pass on making an in house ppv? Delusional, they got caught and people hated it. That simple

Now you're just not making any sense. Gor caught doing what exactly?? Its going to be an in house PPV regardless. Crawford is a free agent without a network contract, in order for the fight to take place, he would have to sign a one fight deal with Showtime, of which Haymon would be a part. Spence-Crawford is a much more lucrative fight for Haymon and Showtime, so why would they favor Spence-Thurman?? Make it make sense, just can't admit Bud ran off, and still is.

Lmao it's not in-house because Crawford is a free agent. Therefore he can demand whatever he wants and if he's not happy he can speak out which he has a done. An in house fighter with a pbc contract absolutely cannot do that. Spencer doesn't want the fight dude. That simple. It was scheduled for November and still hasn't happened.



Only reason I believe it happens now is because Oscar planned a two fight deal with Crawford and haymon can't have Crawford losing to ortiz so he figured he'd better cash out Spencer. If not then they're just absolutely wasting bud's time

[YOU WILL LOSE]

once again confirming he was grossly out of shape when he was telling the public he was trying to make the fight.

any good trainer will tell you that sparring isn't the same as a real fight.

Is sparring any different from fighting a bum?

I think most trainers would say "yes." Sparring is practice. Fighting a guy in the top 10, even if the guy isn't on the same level, is still live boxing. Its the real thing, where sparring isn't.

Man..... they need to just make and officially announce Spence vs Crawford!!

[Sid-Knee]

You know, you can't change history just by stating a lie. We all witnessed who left negotiations to fight a crash dummy for a big check. All of the talking should be done, yet here we are. Spence just stated that he's starting to feel like he's being played. I 've said it from the beginning, Bud doesn't want that fight, he's not used to that type of work or brutality......Avanesyen, Khan, yeah, that's more like it.

Crawford agreed to everything. He just wanted to see where the money was being spent. That's all. But anyone who isn't deranged knows Haymon was frustrating the negotiations to force Crawford to walk away like Fury did to Usyk. Negotiations do not take as long as Haymon was.

Then you add in the fact Spence said he couldn't fight at Welter which is why he had a fight scheduled with Thurman at 154 because he was too heavy to make 147.

Play this mad game all you want. But anyone who isn't in a cult-like environment knows who ducked who.

was never going to happen so it doesn't matter. he made a demand that was never going to be fulfilled, knowing it wouldn't be, and the fight doesn't happen.

so much so, that this man already had a fight lined up immediately after the negotiations fall apart.

Crawford takes the heat for that. Simple as.

[Sid-Knee]

Lol, myths, he was never going to fight Thurman. He was using the intentions to fight as a means of biding time from the sanctioning bodies, so that he could keep the belts instead of being stripped, so that the fight would still be for undisputed after negotiations were finalized. Bud saw a way of getting paid for beating lesser competition, which is his pattern of choosing fights, and took it.

Spence could have kept the titles by agreeing to fight Crawford. What are you talking about? Watching you being forced to come up with an explanation that even people brain damaged by ****** would reject on account of it's laughable and illogical insanity, is hilarious. Haha.

Negotiations couldn't be finalised. Haymon and Spence made sure they couldn't. Crawford was ready and willing. They weren't.

Spence fought for and won ANOTHER championship belt last April, immediately after, demanding the fight for the final strap from Crawford. Meanwhile Crawford is holding the same WBO belt that he won from JEFF FXCKING HORN years ago hostage and hadn't fought since November 2021. But, instead of fighting Spence for undisputed, did his usual movements, found a body for a bag of cash. Its pitiful that people even respect that type of shxt.

Spence's only reason for being inactive since April is because, unlike Bud, undisputed and his legacy means more than fooling the people by getting overpaid for light duty work. He's stated he wants the Crawford fight or he's going to move up, but he wanted to exhaust all of his means of making the fight before moving on. He's stood firm on that, but at this point, he may have to accept that Bud doesn't want to fight him.

Crawford fought someone else as he didn't want to be out of the ring any longer. Spence meanwhile, hasn't been back inside a ring. He's been out all this time. But you delude yourself that's he waiting for Crawford to sign a contract that never existed? Hahahaha.

Comedy gold.
