    This was the biggest fight of his life, damn right; he would've taken this fight seriously. A lot was at stake, especially the 3 belts he worked so hard for to achieve and to maintain it.

    What? Do you think he smoked some pot before going into the fight? That would've been real real ****** and ridiculous. All these idiots making ridiculous assumptions and accusations of him being high pre-fight are fools.

    Accept it, for what it is. He loss to the better man on the night and got outperformed by the better boxer.​

      Ah cool so he was ok for the other fights before this that he won but because he got his azz kicked, the excuses start rolling in I guess.

        Theres some interesting info in there, but also a lot of wrong stuff.

        Spence has never used latteral movement for defense. There are youtube vids breaking down this, prefight, and plenty have noted Spence always moves in a straight line when he backs up.

        I enjoyed the vid a lot, but its conjecture. This doc hasnt seen, tested, or diagnosed Spence.

        Spence looked like his old dominant self in all the fights post accident. His toughest fight was before the accident in fact. If he was so compromised how did he stop Ugas?

          Great point. No more of this "marinating" BS.

            Thats possible. They may have expected Crawford to take him out one shot...as opposed to a prolonged beating from Manny. I doubt they expected Crawford to put the beating on that he did.

              He looked okay in training camp. The people who are closest to him day in and day out never mentioned anything being off about him. He said he felt great, he was ready. I think he may have had trouble making 147 is all there is to it. He fought just fine against Danny and Ugas post accident. He had eye surgery when he pulled out of the Pacquiao fight and that may explain a different look in his eyes, but I honestly don’t see it. You’ll all been talking about his eyes and speech for years now. Take the L like a man, just like Spence is doing without making excuses.

                unfortunately it's going to continue. Expect Shakur and Haney in 2025 and the year following Frank Martin vs Keyshawn Davis.

                    Or Spence had just never been in the ring with a smart counter puncher who was able to exploit his shoddy Defense
