Comments Thread For: Spence Optimistic About Crawford Rematch: I Know I'm A Lot Better Than What I Showed

[STREET CLEANER]

I'm not interested in a rematch. He got outclassed and didn't have an answer. He showed no quit but was repetitive. The way Crawford was stopping his jab he hand no answer, he didn't go to the body with the jab, chest or turned it into a hook to have Crawford thinking a bit more.

A rematch isn't necessary due to the one sided nature of the contest. I personally cannot see Spence beating Crawford after the performance on Saturday because even when Spence got in close he's key attributes were nullified. I'm in awe of how Crawford used subtle changes in position to constantly get Spence out of position.

Spence cannot outbox Crawford, his only chance is a chest to chest war, push Crawford to the ropes and get in and work in close range so he can t be countered as easily. That’s his only shot as I see it. At medium range he got slaughtered especially after throwing slow looping crosses

It's not just that.

Everyone knew that Spence's main assets were size and power.

Nether of those were there.

It's disappointing seeing so many "fans" on here refusing to acknowledge the obvious reason why - which means a rematch at 154 helps solve the mystery once and for all.

“I know I’m a lot better than what I showed tonight,” Spence said.

No, he is not.
He made his name fighting smaller guys like Mikey and Danny Garcia, and Lamont Peterson.
He is a Jr Middle campaigning as a welter weight.
His rock em, sock em, act played out, and he was exposed....badly.

He should quit while he is ahead and take his money and retire, and go into the Hall of Fame as the 'B-Side' to Bud Crawford.

Because to fight Terence Crawford again, and get beat down worse will erase all doubt of what and who he is, and that is a weight bully and a fraud.

Spence will be having nightmares about crawfords jab for months, he gets battered again in a rematch, zero interest from me in seeing that happen.

Doesn't need a rematch. Just different levels. Crawford is a level above spence Jr. And couldn't have proved it more conclusively.

Spence is a good guy & fighter but doesn't merit a rematch--he said he was ready to give a great performance but it was a shutout by Crawford. If they fight Crawford will do it again.

Lmfao Danny Garcia smaller? Have you seen Danny between fights? Go look at him in his 140 days, rest in power to brother Richardson who is on record saying Danny was melting his way down from 180.

I don't think there is much that Spence can do differently to get a different outcome... He was actually getting bullied and pushed around... not faster than Crawford... not that good fighting off the back foot... and doesn't;t have better footwork... THE REMATCH WILL BE WORSE!!!

he make it sound like he lost 3-4 rounds.
