    I think bud is shocked at how one sided this fight was. Easy money. Kudos though for brilliant strategy in the ring.​

      You could also say Bud beat a severely weight drained guy who nearly got killed in a car crash, after fully acclimating to the division, while Inoue took on the consensus best guy in his prime in a higher division in his divisional debut. You can diminish the achievements of anyone if you try hard enough.

      I think that's disingenuous, and rather pathetic when we've been gifted with performances on that caliber.

      Just give them both their well deserved props. We know who the best two fighters are. I, for one, don't care to split hairs about who is better.
      Agree, both are elite fighters, top of the sport. One just got his second undisputed run, the other has 20 straight title fights and has the possibility of getting his second undisputed by end of the year. Both fighters are great, and even better that we got to watch two generational talents in the same week. That's a rarity

        I really thought that Spence would've won this fight, in the same way that he lost to Spence.
        Crawford proved himself beyond a shadow of a doubt, to be the best fighter in boxing at this point in time.
        To think that his former promoter Bob Arum lost him as part of his stable, by saying that he was losing money promoting him because he didn't sell out arena's.
        What do you have to say now Bob, how wrong could you've gotten this fighter's future trajectory in the sport, what a monumental mistake on your part.

          Stop with the excuses. Spence took a whooping tonight.
          I agree. I'm just pointing out that you don't need to minimize Inoue's accomplishments to raise up Bud. They're both special fighters, who are staking their claims to being ATG.

          ​​​​​ The point is that you can be a jackass and devalue this win just as easily as you can with Inoue v Fulton. Just look at the excuses already from Spence fans. Look at my past posts. You'll see I've been questioning why Spence was considered on Bud's level this whole time, and Bud just proved why I was asking those questions.

          Bud just had a huge fish fry. Don't need to devalue Inoue to appreciate that win.

            nah. He never looked like the guy who beat kell Brook. His body different now he even talks slower. He’s faculties we’re diminished but again that’s neither here nor there it is what it is spence will never be as good as Bud. That’s hard for me to say lol

              This fight reminded me a lot of Mayweather vs Corrales

                Crawford cemented as #1 P4P status. His pre-Spence opposition made ATG status distant, but he’s vaulted himself into those conversations.

                Dominating another pound for pound fighter in or near his prime with Spence’s track record is extremely rare.

                He blew Spence out in every judging category: clean punching, ring generalship, effective aggression, and defense. He was faster, stronger, composed, stamina, etc.

                He constantly thwarted all of Errol’s attempts to assert himself. Neutralized him at long, mid, and short range, punished him at mid range, and his accuracy and counterpunching was at such a high level that he left a still game Spence with no answers long before the ref stopped the fight.

                The performance tonight deserves heaps of praise.

                  I know he's always had that lazy way of speaking but he sounds like he has more of a slur now than he used to
                  Got his mouth fixed from the accident. Teeth look a lil big

                    Spence's fans put too much credit on their fighter despite lacking extraordinary skills...yes he has power but that was it...he fought ike 7 or 8 times in 7 years whch includes 126lber and a couple of 140lbers...how can they say Spence is p4p with that very limited activity and limited opponents is beyond me

                      Bud is P4P King and a ALL TIME GREAT FIGHTER! Nothing else to say no debate


                      Spence still a excellent fight but Bud is greater and he proved in an absolute dominating fashion

                      Bud and Inoue 1a and 1b P4P Kings for me absolutely incredible performances this week from both separating them from the rest of boxing IMO


                      Spence I'm still a fan as well, move up to 154 and rebuild champ but yeah stay TF away from that Bud Rematch. At 154 for Spence...

                      Erikson Lubin
                      Brian Mendoza
                      Fundora

                      all nice bounce back fights for him but all very dangerous

                      then you got the young hungry guys coming in Jesus Ramos, Xander Zayas and Charles Conwell so 154 doesn't get easier AT ALL
