Comments Thread For: Crawford: I Don't Think [Spence] Should Retire; He Should Take A Little Time Off, Get Mind Right

Ur right. Spence has more to give, but how many brain cells is it going to cost him, just to prove this point? U see the damage Bud did to him? U really want him to do this with Bud again? While Spence is in there giving more, what do u think Bud will be doing? Bud will be cracking him all upside his head again and messing his body, face and brain up with hard, pin point shots all night. Errol can't out box Bud, no matter how hard he trains, and he can't impose his will on Bud, no matter how hard he trains. If Errol fights harder, Bud will, too. Now that Bud fought Errol, he really has Errol completely figured out, plus If u notice, Bud didn't even have to go into 2nd or 3rd gear in that fight. Do u really want Bud to pick up the pace on Errol? Come on man. How relaxed Bud was, lets u know that Errol can't show him anything he hasn't seen b4. Errol needs to really leave Bud alone b4 something tragic happens. Go get u a little piece of money out there somewhere, but leave Bud alone, for real, man

I tend to agree with you because of how dominant Bud's performance was. BUT. And this is the fan in me talking because I was actually rooting for Bud although I'm a fan of both. I'm looking at the possibilities. IF Spence's equilibrium was rocked, imagine if at 154 (a weight that'll probably favor both guys) Spence comes back and beats Crawford? That's the type of scenario that would lead us into a trilogy and enhance the legacy of Spence as well. Both these fighters are great. If they each get a W against the other, both their legacies would be enhanced and it would boost Crawford too because Spence would show his greatness by coming back and beating him.

I saw an interview with Showtime's Stephen Espinoza where he said that the contract can be negotiated. Bud can opt to give Spence a rematch later down the road. It doesn't have to be right away. This would give Spence an opportunity to get his confidence back with some solid wins imo. I'm a fan of both fighters and Bud said he'd honor Spence's request at a rematch because he gave him the opportunity.
