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

[Smash]

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.

yeah i heard that one too about the hill too, but i heard he ran down it not up

I really hope they take a good look at him from a health perspective and not just give him a pass for the sake of a rematch. Wishing all the best to Spence

Someone made a threat about Spence’s mental state.

They linked a YouTube video where a neurologist called into a live boxing podcast or show, whatever, and the neurologist voiced his concern about Spence’s condition shortly after the bout was complete.

Thread was removed for whatever reason. Maybe cuz they can’t verify the “neurologist” credentials, but what he said makes sense I suppose. Essentially the supposed neurologist stated that in his medical opinion, Spence was “neurologically compromised” is the term that he used.

Fighters keep versions of titles they won.

His trophy case will have all three on display.

Mayweather and Pacquiao cases be stacked!

I said it before the fight his speech is slower. Everyone saying it’s that Texas drawl but it was never that bad.

Why was his face puffy after 1 round where he barely got hit? Watch his previous fights you’ve never seen that before.

Something isn’t right with him physically.

I noticed his balance was really off. He just didn’t look very good at all. You gotta be at your very best verses someone like Crawford.

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

That won't even work. Crawford throws hard, crisp shots on the inside as well.

You'd have to totally remake Spence's style from the gromd up almost, and it's far too late in the game for that.

I hope Errol doesn't think he's going to implement the same strategy in the rematch, but just "be a little sharper". That ain't it, chief.

No source bro I’m just lying to make myself feel better but I might run with that 6 mile hill story ,that will definitely explain the weak / slow legs

Shouldve fought Crawf after you told him he needed a belt first. Your own damn fault for making more excuses. Real boxing fans knew your (P)rotected (B)oys (C)lub excuses were bullsh.it. But your fanboys chirped em too. Now they eatin fried fish, er, crow!

You should seriously think about retirement. That was a life changing beatdown and Crawf took it easy on you.

There was never a real neurological assessment. Some idiot lady sees a picture of Spence for the 1st time and claims his lazy eyes are drugs then later decides it must be nerve damage.

It was a horrible performance. Nothing to be proud of.

He didn't say he was proud of his performance. Apparently you can't read.

Spence has to rest for the rest of this year, and longer.

I'm sure the scans have been done to check him out. Enjoy time with family, forget about boxing and training for a long time. He should enjoy the fruits of his labour.

No shame to lose to Crawford. Whether Spence was very weight drained or not, it was always going to be difficult to win.
