Comments Thread For: Frank Martin: The Seven Welterweights Crawford Knocked Out 'Ain't Errol Spence Jr.'

[Roadblock]

More likely a fighter will the brace themselves better when they are fighting a big puncher and let their guard down facing a lighter puncher and that's a huge mistake. But it can also come down wear and tear and the lighter puncher was the straw that broke the Camel's back. Their chin finally cracked.

You don't brace yourself while boxing, you brace when you cant avoid it and see it coming, if you box tight anticipating getting hit at any time you are dead meat, the more relaxed and loose you are the better.

Have you boxed at all, not trying to be a smart ass just asking.

This is where the logic that some people misuse with resumes begins to falter. Crawford has never beaten anyone as good as Spence, so some speciously assume that he can't be Spence. Conversely though, Spence has never beaten anyone as good as Crawford, so that same logic leads them to believe that Spence can't beat Crawford.

The truth is, just because something hasn't or didn't happen, doesn't mean it can't happen (or won't happen).

Yea, like the popular saying goes, the absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.

Spence is getting KNOCKED OUT. He is too slow in brain and thought to deal with Spence.

The PBC tried to protect Spence. But he couldn't take a hint. Spence is getting KNOCKED out.

Bracing meaning being alert; alert being the expression I was looking for.

Really that goes for any of Crawford's b and c level opponents that he has faced his whole career. That said, It's an opportunity for Crawford to do something....

Those B & C level fighters your talking about, got Bud ready to whoop that ass in the end and that's the harsh reality. You can't belive everything you read. Just be a student of game for real.
