Comments Thread For: Spence Not Sulking After Crawford Defeat: "My Head Up Like A Nose Bleed"

At least he's taking his L better then some posters on this forum

I’ve accepted it now, well kind of. However, reports are coming out that he had serious concussion just 2 days before the fight so that would explain his ******ity in standing right in front of him and not being able to move his head plus he had a minor hamstring tear just a week before the fight so that will explain his slow feet. Don’t ask me for the source just take my word for it

Spence seems like a super cool guy, always liked him. He was never a match for Bud and he will get smoked in a rematch. The fact that he is acting like the loss was no big deal is bad. He has already said, "it will be much closer in the rematch". His mindset is not winning, his mindset is, ok, I have to go and outbox Bud from the outside. It might get him a few more rounds of not getting hurt, but Bud will catch him and stop him again.

I don't believe he was any different in the ring against Bud then he was against Ugas or Porter. The difference was Bud cracked him and hurt him for the first time in his career and Spence is not a killer, he had no clue how to react. He was lost. He tried to his credit, but what Bud exposed was what I have always seen in Spence. When he is the stronger guy, and he can push his opponent around, he is confident and follows the plan. Danny Garcia isn't a world beater, Ugas is feather fisted, he pushed Brook around.

The normal thing didn't work and Bud was stronger than him, and hurt him. Period. I'd say Derrick James is largely to blame. Spence had no answer except the same thing.

Move up to light middle, work heavily on footwork, speed bag, work on combinations, and his team with have to formulate a strategy that equates to a phone booth war. He cannot fight Crawford from long or mid range, he will have to 100% be an i fighter and cut off the ring. He’s up against it for sure. His only chance of even making it close will be a Ricky Hatton style mauling

He will push for a rematch for the same reason Wilder pushed for a 3rd Fury fight.

He has no other big money options and another loss doesn’t change anything for him.

Champ fell so what? He tried and came up short. Better then NOT trying like 90% of the other boxers with protecting that 0

You had car injury you need to be hydrated man. I thought spence just crashed his car, his airbag came out and he needed cosmetic surgery for his face, maybe slight concussion.
I don't read what happens out of ring too much only on resume so I didntbhave all the facts

I hope not my emotions can’t go through that again. Every shot Crawford him with, I felt it. During the ring walk I I had my drink , a portion of Jerk chicken and mac and cheese nicely placed in front of my reclining chair. Only to watch the entire fight standing up 5 cm away from plasma looking like I’ve just run a marathon. It’s only today my appetite has returned. I liked everything Spence stood for even telling my son that talent is not everything, that Hard work , determination and self believe trounces talent. I can’t forgive Crawford what he has done

If Spence and his Team wants it, they have to do it. Spence doesn't want to go out like that! Pacquiao continued to fight after JMM nearly killed him, and he was able to beat Keith Thurman at 40, so anything is possible!

You left out the important part. Hard work and determination trounces talent when talent does not work hard. Bud works hard but is also extremely disciplined.

I haven't heard this one. You have a source? Virgil said he heard he ran some hill in Vegas that is like 6 miles or something a week before the fight. Virgil said that was dumb if true because that hill requires about 4 days of recovery. So many rumors are floating around now.
