    As a big spence fan......

    That was a hard ****ing pill to swallow.... I was never someone who 'hated' or 'crapped' on Crawford but I was always highly critical of him.

    So maybe you can say I was a hater or crapped on him depending on where your emotions are as a fan. Some people take it personal when you disagree or debate with them. Some people aren't open for debate so they immediately take it personal when you disagree with their assessment.

    ANYWAYS.....

    God damn that was a ONE SIDED beatdown. Crawford truly is that guy. You can't take anything away from Errol because I do believe he is great, but it's safe to say that Crawford was not only better, but truly is an all time great. He is that guy. I'm disgusted by people making excuses and even going as far as saying Crawford's gloves were possibly loaded.....

    No Spence's chin or head isn't suspect. Crawford proved his skill and power is absolutely ****ing serious business. Spence was obviously willing to die in there. Crawford's past opponents took beatings, but they weren't as durable as Spence. Spence being more 'durable' means he was capable of taking more punishment and was capable of lasting longer than any past Crawford opponent.

    I was proven wrong. Crawford truly is that guy.

    Errol had never faced speed like that, add the power, accuracy and counter punching and its a one sided beat down, TC is a great fighter.

      Simple as that man. Crawford to me was only good based off of the 'eye test' prior to tonight. Let's be honest, Crawford's resume is/was highly and deserving of being criticized... But after tonight he showed that all he does is the same exact **** against anyone he faces. I can't see anyone beating him. I thought the guy to do the job was Spence and I was 100% wrong.

        Mate on paper it was a 50/50 fight, you will always have the one-eyed fans of each but in hindsight TC was just so much better in every department, Errol did his best was going to be carried out showing no quit no shame in being beat like that, I enjoyed the fight from the place of witnessing a great do his thing I just don't gell with the hate thrown in here after every big fight, I love this sport.

          100% agree good sir.

          As a fan of Spence, the fight didn't go the way I wanted it to. But I'm glad to have witnessed it. I just hate people saying Spence is a bum and/or 'overrated' - It takes credit away from Crawford.

          If the fight went the way I hoped... let's say Spence beat Crawford down tonight... let's say people called Crawford a bum and/or overrated after losing to Spence... it would take credit away from Spence.

          I'm not about that ****, I'm all for the reality, the truth, and results of any situation in life. Being a fan of something is one of those things.

          Crawford deserves 100% credit. You can't make this **** up lol

            Crawford is just mean, he looks mean, he has hate in his eyes with every punch he throws. The closest thing to compare him to is Roberto Duran.

              I'd love to hold the heavy bag while he hits it just to get an idea. There's no way anyone should ever be hit like that lol... shyt's scary as ****.

                True he likes to fight and likes to hurt, he is more controlled than Duran but yeah that same killer mentality.

                  You had no reason to criticize Crawford yet you did. Don't make excuses for yourself. Any unbiased fan could see how great he was. I had Crawford as favorite and told my friends this is KO for Crawford in 9 or 10 before the fight started.

                    Safe to say you're one of those emotional people I'm referring to. The fact that I disagreed or 'didn't see what you saw' upsets you. What excuses am I making? I'm literally saying that I was WRONG. What more do you want?

                    You're literally being the prime example of what a D'Rider is.

                    Relax. I was proved wrong and made that very clear.

                    I'd love to hear what excuses you think I was making....
