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

[TheOneAboveAll]

A "wrinkle on his career," Shawn??

[pretty ste]

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%

Lmfaoo your ****ing idiot no version of spence beats bud stop the excuses already look like a fool you have more excuses than errol himself shut the **** up

[pretty ste]

I personally don't think so....but they're gunna rematch anyways. I assume at 154, so we're gunna find out if it was actually a weight problem

Thr excuse Is the weight now ****ing knew mf won't give bud his credit

[_original_]

Porter is such a goof.

Porter had the better style against Crawford, though not the tools needed. If Spence can’t find a way to be a successful infighter at close range he won’t ever be competitive. Spence will have to avoid blowing up in between the fights, stop the drinking if he hasn’t, get away from his family, and get his strength and conditioning coach to work on his explosiveness

Spence can do ALL that and he still will NEVER beat Crawford.
I thought Spence would beat Crawford and after that beating, weight class does not matter.
Crawford will DESTROY Spence again at 154

Finally, a real fan of the sport. I salute you - this is 100% the correct answer, and we frankly need more of you around here.

Thank you. We cannot judge a man (Spence Jr.) unless we have walked in his shoes. Other boxers can do so, not us.

I can't tell if this dude is straight cap or if he honestly believes Spence can beat Crawford.

Is he employed by PBC? Or is he just brown nosing for PBC so he can get a commentator job for them?

There are just some instances where the weight excuse is believeable, and some when it's not.

I will totally believe, for example, that Kovalev lost to Canelo badly because of the issues with losing weight. He had a decent set of whiskers all his life, then one Canelo's punch ends the fight. Why?

I cannot, however, remember any other fight in recent memory where the weight loss was clearly an issue.

Spence was put down, but he did not lose his punch resistance. He didn't look gassed. It just looked like Crawford was one step ahead of him.

Had Spence lost by a small margin, then it would've been another story. But Crawford pitched a near shutout. How much better can Spence get with the extra 7 pounds?

It's good to see boxers stand up for someone who's been knocked down. They know how hard that is.

But Spence has a chance, as in, he might win the lottery. It's not realistic.

We only know this, though, because he was brave enough to take the fight. For that he should be commended.

Crawford will brutalize Spence again.
