Comments Thread For: Crawford: "Spence Didn't Hit As Hard As Everyone Said He Did"

[JLC]

Was it a weight issue, was it the long lay off, or was it that Crawford is just that strong?

We would never know, but for sure Crawford is the more skilled and faster boxer.

Only way to know is rematch 154 so there is no excuse about the weight issue.

Man please. There are no excuses currently. He asked for the fight. He got the fight. He lost the fight. Terrance is the better fighter.

Crawford didn't feel Spence's power because 'The real Spence wasn't in the ring: Spence
showed unsteady legs in the beginning of the 2nd round and unable to withstand punishment
later that same round.

Spence a volume combination fighter barely showed any offensive. Spence knew before the fight
started to conserve energy, try to limit the punishment and use the rematch clause as his savior.

During fight week, When Spence was asked if rematch would be at 147? Spence immediately replied
no must be at 154. I wouldn't be surprised if it's later disclosed Spence almost killed himself
making 147. Spence at 147 was defeated physically before entering the ring and mentally defeated
within the first 2 rounds.

Big business, money changing hands in the blink of an eye. Spence just bit down and at nights end
refused to make excuses or enter any detailed conversions.The lawsuits will start flying by all parties
involved if Spence physically was in no condition to perform at the highest level expected.

Similarly to Manny disclosing shoulder injury after losing Floyd Mayweather Jr fight and a few other
events..

"Spent did not make excuses" no need to you just did it for him--- not hat i agree..............

Ofc he didn't, since he was a weight drained zombie

He didn't hit as hard because he didn't have the chance to. Crawford evaded every full contact punch. To his credit he out skilled Spence. The Spence fighting Garcia and Porter would have had Crawford for dinner. Spence had too many miles on the clock fighting the best in the Welterweight division (the Thurman's, the Garcia's and the Porters). Crawford swooped in at the right time. I'm not knocking Crawford - he's a great fighter but he will be forever known as the guy who avoided the best in his weight division when it mattered.

His best win was definitely Brook and that's it. Porter already said bed retire win, lose or draw and because of that he wasn't even on the right mind set. He beat Spence through and through but it will be tainted because of when the fight happened. Sorry - that's it. I love Crawford but let's be real, outside of Brook be never fought a live one at the peak of the division. He waited.

Sorry to tell you, you dumb as shet! You so dumb, you probably didn’t qualify for Trump University!

Everyone qualifies for trump university, all you need to do is give him your money and he will teach you the secrets to failing at business and politics just like him

There will always be excuses its just whether are they legit or not, at least on the weight issue, it will give the rematch at 154 a bit of interest, as for he doesn't hit hard if he wasn't right Id assume it would affect his power also. I have no doubt TC is the better fighter.

What nobody is talking about is how many times Crawford asked for the fight on social media …on video interviews… on YouTube …in person …calling Errol on the phone. Nobody is talking about how Spence ran out of the building after Crawford knocked out Shawn Porter. It’s all on TV. It’s all recorded. No one is talking about the time that PBC/fox didn’t put Crawford on the screen when they were talking about the welterweight champions. Face the facts: PBC KNEW TC WOULD WIN AND DIDN’T WANT TO LOSE THE BELTS. Keeping fighters and belts in house has been going on since the mob controlled boxing. Spence was avoiding Crawford and was hoping that he would age out and get slower, but Crawford didn’t. Sugar Ray aged out Hagler. Common strategy. Spence blew up his body with drinking, the accident, and what some have said was too much damaging sparring (detached retina). Hard sparring is what did in Ali more than the fights. I think it’s a closer fight pre accident, but Bud still wins. So don’t go saying Bud “swooped in at the right time.” He’s been begging for the fight for years. If anything, Spence was doing the attempted “swooping.”Delete your account.

Porter and Brook said Spence punched harder.

Porter was dropped by Errol but he was stopped by Bud. Kell was stopped by Errol late and Bud KO'd him in 3 or 4. So there goes that bs theory

[tkoboxingscene]

Spence was slow and lethargic, there was obviously something not right with him. He looked almost high. Rematch should put any doubts to bed

So I doubt they are lying so it must be that fighters are different on different nights. would that be a logical assessment?
