Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford Confident Heading Into Spence Showdown: "Watch Me Fry This Fish"

[memphis mook]

Crawford accepted a 2-fight deal with Al Haymon (aka finally accepted his B-Side status).

Effectively exposes him, because he could have done that back in January 2022 when Spence called him out, then had the fight done and dusted for July/August, STILL went to BLK to rob them for a quick in January, rematch now.

But Crawford doesn't understand the BUSINESS of boxing.

How is making an easy 10mil indicative of not understanding business. I swear you star struck man lovers come up with anything to defend yall's love.

Avanesyan was unknown before that fight.
Boots or Ortiz would have been way better opponents for Bud.

They both turned down the fight. Ortiz turned it down twice. That information ain't hard to find

Bud beating the sht outta Spence, Spence IS great at what he does but he's basic and his speedy IS average.

Spence struggled to beat Porter and Swift.

Avanesyan being a bum or not ain't helping Spence.

Errol is a strong man, but my feeling tells me that when u were thrown from a car and knocked out worse than most ppl ever get knocked out in the ring, meaning knocked cold with your face hitting concrete, all ur teeth were knocled out and two weeks worth of your memory was erased, the damage from that doesn't just go away, it's definitely still there. He's very sturdy, so it may appear as if he's recovered completely and regained much of his old form, but i feel when he gets hit as hard, sharp, and accurately as Bud is going to hit him, that damage is going to start to show as the punches accumulate. Bud is not Danny Garcia, and even Ugas who isn't known as a puncher, wobbled Errol and we saw his recovery from that and Errol came back to win. But we did see him get wobbled and hurt. Bud is not those guys. He's really going to be aiming to crack Errol's melon and targeting certain spots for maximum damage

yeah i dont think errols chin has been fully tested in fact i think he showed its at best average with Ugas. Pac was 42 years old, much smaller than spence and never got wobbled by Ugas like that.

Crawford i think is the more skilled guy with different angles, different tricks up his sleeve. If spence is to win he will have to rely on physical advantages, being naturally larger, being stronger and more athletic... i just dont see that at his age and post car crash. I think spence should have taken the fight at 154 so he could come in even larger. Crawford was huge at 135 hes a full size welter now.

Interesting phrase for Crawford to use considering Spence's heritage. I wonder if that was intentional?

Crawford got this.

Try to read this time. Both you and RyanjLarose . Use a computer, not your phone. Maybe your eyesight is failing - that or the Education system is.

• Crawford left Top Rank November 2021.
• Spence called him out January 2022.
• Crawford COULD HAVE signed the same 2-fight deal with Al Haymon to make the Spence fight in July 2022 and make millions.
• Regardless of winner/loser, Crawford still could have gone to rob BLK Prime real quick with a fight in January 2023 - but if he'd beaten Spence, he now can command MORE money from BLK as the unified champion. Had it lost, it wouldn't have mattered, because there's a rematch clause anyway.
• Rematch Spence in May 2023 (now) for even more F'n money.

He basically left millions on the table and all it got him was another asterisk with a sketchy gloves controversy. WHICH is why he was left with no choice but to drop trou with Vaseline off to the side now.

He gave up his leverage by not just signing with Al for the same 2-fight deal LAST YEAR.

Get it?

Crawford constantly comes forward, always looking for the stoppage. He gets hit because he isn't defense first. Spence fights defensively minded alot of the time.

Uh, what?

Crawford was NOT going forward against Porter nor was he going forward against Brook. And Spence was wide the hell ass open against Ugas and Porter.

What the hell have you been watching, brother?
