Comments Thread For: Gary Russell Jr: "Something Was Wrong With Errol Spence"

[Raggamuffin]

This is what happens when you stay on the same side of the street…and make that comfortable money for yourself and AL, rather than cross the street. I bet you’ll look before you cross the street next time wontchu mother****er(Spence), lmao.

pron cuckold degen is having another schizo episode.

no i don't post on any other boxing forums. 1 is enough. i don't care for boxing that much

So why are you here? Do us all of favor and jump out a plane without a parachute. We will all really appreciate it...

So many professional fighters, media and fans saw something strange and out of character with Spence.
I am neither a Spence or Crawford fan, but its concerning to see so many things.

I dont know why it’s offending so many Crawford fans? Does it tarnish his legacy not to think Spence wasnt at the prime of his career?

Is there anyone in the boxing community that can objectively say that Spence was at his peak? Absolutely NOT.

They weren't saying this pre fight. Only after he lost. That's the issue.

Thats not true loads were saying it from the weighin onwards, I thought Errol looked fine at the weighin, but many said he looked terrible to them.

Tell me, after everything is all said and done, are you saying that its impossible that anything could have been wrong with Errol, its a direct question that requires a yes or no answer, I just want to see if you believe its an impossibility something was wrong with Errol.

There was nothing wrong with Errol at all. He looked full at the weigh ins. I've seen many video from spence fans showing how drained bud looks pre fight. I didn't see any videos about errol looking off only until after the fight.

Hmmm ok, just curious about your perspective on a fighter being off, what does he have to look like at the weigh-in and what does he look like in the fight for you to say he was off, can you give me an example of a fighter that was off in your opinion?

Spence came off very crisp and fast against bud in rd 1-3. After getting dropped in the 2nd he came back with a vengeance with body attacks and pushed bud against the ropes but bud's defense was too tight along with his counter punching.

A fighter who was off. GGG in canelo fight 1. He looked slow as hell particularly hand speed. Body looked flat too. GGG 5 years prior against macklin and then lemieux hand speed was much better.

Tyson post prison was off. He lacked the speed and reflexes he had pre prison.

Kovalev in the canelo fight was off. He lacked the killer instinct he once had and was hesitant on throwing punches. Hesitation is a big one when noticing how off a fighter is.

Perhaps he should have fought Bud years ago then, instead of playing "side of the street" games. You reap what you sow. Bud told him it was a mistake to let him grow into the weight class...

I think Bud is just too fast for Spence though. It's hard when the other guy can start after you do and still land first, especially if they're just levels above in skill.

Cheers,,,,,,, I didn't see what you seen in the TC fight, I saw TC much stronger pushing Errol whenever he wanted him to go, I didn't see any come back with a vengeance I saw two punches that had no effect and I thought Errols legs were weak from the beginning, the strength or lack there off is what looked off in my eyes, not saying he beats TC or anything like that, I just think he would be more durable than he was he just seemed physically weak.

I thought he looked more drained for the Ugas fight if I recall correctly. Face was really gaunt.
