Article mentions Spence looking spectacular in the Garcia and Ugas fights
he looked pretty poor against Garcia. Ugas he looked ok, but Ugas’ style didn’t exactly bother him
ive said consistently on here, look at all Spence’s fights properly, instead of whitewashing them based on the outcome alone.
Spence went life and death with Brook. It was a razor thin fight up until Brook suffered, incidentally, the same problem he suffered against Golovkin.
Spence vs Porter was a razor thin fight again. Spence barely edged it out
Spence vs Garcia - whilst Spence clearly won, it wasn’t a dominant performance. For someone like Garcia, you’d have expected someone of Spence’s supposed calibre to dominate him
It looks to me the injuries outside of the ring aren’t major factors - he’s had question marks over his actual level since at least 2019. It’s no shock that Crawford outclassed him, severelyComment

On the contrary. A lot of chatter was happening on social after that interview with Jim Gray (before the fight). A buddy of mine who is not a real boxing fan but buys the big fights called me and asked why did his eyes look like that? I told him he normally has a sleepy demeanor but I had never seen him look like that. He was just as bad going into the ring. Look, Bud was the better fighter for sure but based on their previous fights and common opponents, it should have been more competitive. IMO. BTW, I'm a fan of both. I went to see Bud and MSG against Khan.Last edited by satiev1; 08-20-2023, 07:33 PM.Comment

Funny how it’s always the same characters on this site who disclaim a great fighter’s victory but only after the fact
Fughface Headshots coming around claiming bullchit as usual but what were his words before the fight
Fughface , stick to mmaComment

he picked spence to win right before the fight too by ko. Headshots is one of the biggest clowns on this forum. He's the epitome of someone taking too many head shots. Hence the nameLast edited by satiev1; 08-20-2023, 08:55 PM.Comment

I can’t believe that no one else has mentioned the reports from directly after Spence’s car crash. No broken bones, concussion, or life threatening injuries were reported. Just minor injuries including facial lacerations. How is it that he suffered neurological damage from that? He got out jabbed and he completely underestimated his opponent. Thats what was wrong with him!Comment

Being in a accident breaking multiple bones, eye surgery, and being at a weight all your career ( weight drained) will do the trick.... Not taking anything away from Crawford ( he did what he needed to do) but everyone is making it seem like this win was more than it was...
Facts.
Anyone that wants to believe that was a live Spence in the ring is practicing serious denial. Everybody and their mother gave Crawford a tougher fight than that version of Spence. It's obvious Spence was drained AF and possibly suffering from brain issues.Comment
