    Spence was shopworn. Lets not get carried away with Crawford hype.

    The car accidents, the inactivity, the detached retina (which was for sure affecting his preripheral vision and depth perception). This wasn't the same Spence. Nice win for Crawford, but that wasn't prime Spence.

    no version of Spence is beating Crawford. Spence fights how he fights, there's no plan B. He just got away with it vs everyone else

      I think prime Spence gives him a tough fight. Current version of Spence is a journeyman.

        Aside from his momentary lapse against Ugas he looked phenomenal in that fight. I don't buy it.

          They gotta make excuses because their foot is stuck in their fughin mouths
          I endured chit for many years cause I was a Bud fan
          The only thing that bothers me is the fact that this fight didn’t happen 5 years ago when Bud was in his prime

            The Spence last night would have beaten everyone at WW and under. Stop trying to discredit a masterful performance weirdo

              Circular logic at its best... let me guess if Spence had done better he would have been less shopworn? Your only able to say that because of what Crawford did... Not that I do not think it is true, but there has to be some universal assumptions in a fighting match between two top fighters. One of them has to be they are both coming in ready... Otherwise why have them ever fight? One guy will always have had a better camp, will be feeling better that day, etc... Its never a level playing field.

              Galento, I think for the Baur fight, got cut up pretty bad. It turns out that his brother threw and capped him with a beer mug during a fight. Some say Toney didn't train for jones... so what are we to do?

              Spence probably was drained, he looked off, but as a champion he said he was ready and able. Crawford made sure whatever version showed up got dealt with... No excuses. Maybe Spentz can show us something in the rematch, if he was not destroyed in this fight.

                Ummmm we don't know that either lol. We can just go by what Spence said and he said he was ready.

                  COPE HARDER! Crawford beats him 10/10, We don't want to hear any excuses from Spence fans today, tomorrow, yesterday! It doesn't matter!!!

                    Ugas is a B class fighter that is not in the 30 P4P fighters list.
