Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford Trainer on Spence: He Was Slow As ****; He Was Basic

[Curtis2]

When hype fighters fight other hype fighters from the same side of the street, these are the beat down results you get… Bud has fought much tougher opponents than hyped Spence-

I'm a big Spence supporter but stop regurgitating hearsay from some guy on a podcast. He was prevented from his biggest payday vs Pacquiao. Which is worse permanent brain damage or blind in one eye?

I can buy over training. I'm not buying he's not fit to fight til something official comes out. BTW I've read his speech is different due to damage to his face and jaw.

Spence looked dry an lethargic a whole week before the fight, I was going to bet on the fight; but didn't because of this, Crawford would have still won the fight, even if Spence wasn't weight drained, but id definitely be interested in a rematch at 54, Spence will get another decent payday, then should retire.

Anyone who loves the sport will tell you that something was wrong with Spence, I personally can't give a fk about spence because he's not paying my bills or anything but as a boxing fan I can say that the man was 'off' that night. How come a Khan or that Lithuanian bum crawford fought did better than spence? In fact Crawford hasn't had many fights which were that easy..so either Spence was that sh** of a fighter and if that's the case then why give crawford respect for beating a bum or something was really wrong with spence, hence he looked fkd in the early rounds even tho no major shot hit him. Crawford fan girls need to chill, that dude ain't paying your bills or anything..stop over reacting when someone mentions the obvious.

A lot of respect to Spence, a courageous warrior. But yes, Bomac is right, Errol pooled really slow, and he was always basic, but does basics very well.

If you fight someone like Crawford and Ennis, you need to have a lot more in your repertoire. That, or be very strong and powerful, with great timing to offset quicker fighters. Hagler could do that.

Not only was Spence slow but Crawford made him look both old, weak and lethargic. He could barely keep his eyes open they were so tight; As if they had sunken in the back of his head which is a clear sign of fatigue and dehydration.That fifteen month layoff must have really aged him. To me it seems he had to over train just in order to cut the weight.

Examples please.

Spences reflexes appear to be shot.

I have always picked Crawford to win this match BUT this was among Crawford's easiest wins and I'm convinced that this would not have always been so.

They looked pretty good against Ugas. Did they magically disappear for Crawford? Or maybe Crawford separared himself from the rest as a special generational talent.
