    Well Bud is naturally right handed so switching to orthodox that right jab becomes a power punch in itself.

    However, Spence’s punch resistance looked God awful. Inactivity and being weight drained were very apparent. Not discrediting Bud since that was an absolute gem of a performance but those are things we can highly speculate on. Benavidez put up a better fight than Errol Spence, who would’ve known.

Was it because the jab was by the ear so it messed up his equilibrium?

      It don’t make sense to me, someone explain. Does Crawford have a different style jab to everyone else, Mike Tyson referred to it as a ramrod of a jab, a real thud to it. Spence is a DAWG and that jab had him rethinking his life choices.

      How come his jab has never dropped or stunned anyone else like that, or has it?

      I knew Crawford would win but that part don’t make sense to me
      You need to do some homework next time, Crawford is right handed, and his team mentioned one of the keys to their game plan was a ram rod jab to takeaway Errols jab.

      That jab was the difference, it was the foundation for the performance and creating bigger differences.

      Spence stepped into it a few times which def added to the impact, i read nothing from Spence's chin in this situation, he doesnt have a Margarito level of chin obviously but not weak by any means

      What you saw was a special punch by a special fighter, on a special night

        Some fighters throw hard jabs. I know there have been complaints before about “you cant win with jabs” but Bud showed tonight what many have before- you can have a power jab.

            That is not a jab. That was a short crisped straight right disguised as a Jab. It is actually is power hand even though he claims his left is more powerdul, but i don't believe it.

              Spence was drained at the weight. Remember he's been out for nearly 18 months and doesn't live clean. Too much weight to take off and his body just wasn't able to handle it.

              Spence is finished at 147.

                There been plenty of fighters who rocked and dropped opponents with jabs. Check out Ike "Bazooka "Quartey's jab.

                Dudes like Liston and Hagler also had ramrod jabs.

                Spence was out of position and off balance when Crawford landed that punch. It had a lot of power on it so it's not that surprising.

                      Crawf a right hander. When he dies his SP stance his right hand which is his dominant is like a piston jab, strong af.
