Comments Thread For: Shawn Porter Believes Spence Is Capable Of Beating Crawford In a Rematch at 154 Pounds

Skill gap was evident. Charo vs Crawford makes more sense

I think retirement is best for Spence's health, but Stephen A. Smith saying it probably means it's not true.

I felt that way when I saw it (Stephen A. Smith) yesterday, but hearing that Neurologist has made me feel different! I don't want to see Haney go the route of Ali and Tommy Hearns! One thing i do agree with Stephen A. is that we can't trust the Sports Neurologists! No way should Tua have been allowed to play those games! I'm pretty sure the doctors in Boxing Commissions are even worse! Glad Harvey Dock stopped the fight!

Here you see why Errol was nothing close of what he was before and sad most people are not aware of :-(

You know, I originally thought that crash had ruined Spence. I should have stuck with that belief, even though he beat Ugas and Garcia afterwards.

I believe that Spence should put the breaks on this immediate rematch talk. Sure, he would probably perform marginally better but he won't win the fight.

He should wait to fight him sometime late next year to give himself a better chance of winning. However, his main issue has been inactivity. The man has fought only three times in four years.

I know that he doesn't like to do tune ups but that is a habit he needs to break ASAP. He needs to fight a minimum of at least three fights before going into a rematch with Bud Crawford to work on both his boxing conditioning and fitness.

Everybody needs to get their excuses in order for when Crawford beats Spence easier at 154. And remember, Spence could have fought Crawford earlier in his career. "The other side of the street" was just a smokescreen.

Moving up in weight may help Spence absorb more punishment, but it won't improve his timing or reflexes.

How can this so-called neurologist diagnose Errol Spence when he is not even his doctor? Not only that we don't know whether or not he is medically certified to give such an opinion.

Besides, he doesn't even know Spence's condition because he has never examined him and is not his doctor. Errol has his own list of specialists and experts to diagnose him.

In addition, if this alleged quack is telling the truth; Then Spence wouldn't have been medically cleared to fight Saturday night in the first place. They run extensive tests on these fighters like: CT Scans and MRIs.

If any neurological damage was detected then Errol wouldn't have been cleared to fight and would have received a subsequent medical suspension with his boxing license revoked in the process.

If anything Spence could use a new trainer to teach him the Winky Wright high guard ear muff defense because he got hit over and over again flush in the face by Terence Crawford's punches. Winky Wright used to walk his opponents down with that high guard ear muff defense in order to unload his punches.

I heard the “doctor” in question’s take on it and knew the tinfoil hat brigade would lap it up. The show host recognized the caller’s voice because he calls in all the time to give his two cents, like an attention seeking twat. He admitted that he is NOT A NEUROLOGIST, and that he has never examined Spence, and that he doesn’t KSAB.

I been saying it all along and Porter knows the truth too, crawford beat a weight drained version of spence, spence looked tired after round one and he didn't even get caught with one punch while crawford looked fresh throughout the fight and spence's punches had zero effects because his power was gone from cutting too much weight, that's why pacquiao had always the advantage against the "bigger" guys he faced at a catch weight suitable to him. I doubt crawford would take the fight at 154 because he knows he can't beat spence if he comes in 100%

Well that's what happens when you are inactive and not fighting. Your body tends to pack on the pounds as you lose both your timing and conditioning.

Who knows; Errol Spence probably had to cut more than 50 pounds just to get in fighting shape against Crawford. Please keep in mind that the man hasn't fought but three times in the past four years since the Shawn Porter fight.

He has been sidelined for more than a year due to that car accident and another year and a half due to his detached retina.

Then subsequently, he was sidelined for another year and three months waiting for the Terence Crawford fight to come into fruition after Bud walked away from the initial negotiations.

It's his inactivity out of the ring is what slowly causing his body to gradually age and deteriorate.
