Derrick James: That Wasn't The Errol We've Become Accustomed To Seeing

[Combat Talk Radio]

Starts @12:18

“That’s life man, you can prepare for something and it doesn’t work out. You can be off, your timing can be off and your reactions can be off. It was like he [Spence] was walking in quicksand.

That can be down to the weight. Whatever it was, it wasn’t the Errol that we’ve become accustomed to seeing or the same guy that’s been in the gym.

Who knows what it was? I have no idea and I make no excuses for his performance, but that was not the Errol Spence that we all know and love.

It was more about Errol than it was about Crawford, I believe. It happens sometimes in boxing, unfortunately.”

He also talks about why he didn't stop the fight.

[Charlie Zelenoff]

He didn't stop the fight because of him and Bomac's little rivalry.

[Teetotaler69]

A bumass trainer who let his average fighter get an extra 6 minute beating making excuses? No way, impossible lmfao

OP is a fvkcing joke

[Roadblock]

Nah, he be thinking wtf going on, the camp, the theories, the rounds going by fast, he would have been in a state of confusion where it takes a time to grasp reality without over or under reacting to the situation, its easy to sit watching a computer and make all the decisions after the fact.

Had nothing to do with being off. It's called facing an elite counter puncher. He's been fighting guys that weren't on his level. Look at this piece of **** james not giving crawford his credit. **** you ugly piece of stuttering turd

Why does Errol not being 100% affect you so much, why must it be the 120% best version of Errol to ever box, nobody is taking anything away from TC he is by far the better fighter, whatever is up with Errol its the same result, why are you so fragile around the win it was great TC looked awesome, Errol looked off best man won brilliantly.

You saying Errol wasn't 100 percent dosen't make it true. But whatever makes you sleep better at night.

No excuses, TC looked damn good but performance aside. Just look at the weigh in of Spence, then look at him in the ring. He looked very dehydrated to me. Could just be my eyes.
I still think TC will beat him at 147, 154 and yes even 160. So don’t say I’m making up excuses.

[War Room]

They weren't accustomed to seeing it because they been knee deep in cherry pie for an entire career. If he would have turned pro in his natural class, Spence would be in someone else's knockout reel on YouTube. They dropped down and guided him because that was their only play. Like I said, he never moved up because he couldn't. Now he got his, it's over.

Nope. Watch the porter and garcia fight weigh ins. He looked much fuller in the bud fight. He didn't look dehtdrated what so ever. When you're dehydrated your musles are flat and skinny not full. Also watch the pre fight interview spence saying this has been the best cut of his career and his nutrionist saying the same thing along with his trainer.
