The porter fight is what did it for me. I knew bud would always win. But after the porter fight the way spence struggled with porter on the inside I knew he had zero chance to beat bud. and this was pre accident. Bud started pushing him back after rd 3 once spence kept getting countered. Look at rd 3 again where spence pushed bud on the ropes. Bud took away spence's jab and when spence tried to adjust by pushing him to the ropes with body shots he got countered with uppercuts. It was all over from there. The thing is spence is food for an elite counter puncher since he always fight one way only which is in a straight line dosen't use angles and never moves his head side to side and is very predictable with his jab and 1-2's. I predicted the fight exactly how it went and made a thread about it 24 hours pre fight. Boxing is a sport where you look as good as your opposition.

You can still lose and look strong, being out-boxed and countered should not have anything to do with being weak, I agree with what youre saying I just didn't see any physicality from Errol which is the only real asset he has and it wasn't there, that's the only difference I expect at a higher weight is Errol will be stronger and more durable, I doubt he can up his offence to where it's needed to pull a win so its probably another money grab loss, maybe he just thinks he can do better at a higher weight and wants to go again.

They started saying that **** as he was walking into the ring. The lighting made him look that way. During 24/7 Spence’s fans were like…he’s on point, lmao…. So their premature excusulation was ignored completely by ME lol….Last edited by Raggamuffin; 08-23-2023, 10:31 AM.Comment

Can you say the same for Bud?
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.

But did you see this before the fight lmao….!!!??? What did you notice about Spence as he walked into the ring? What did you SEE that was wrong with him?
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.

He looked dry, bug-eyed, his legs looked weak and unsteady his punchers were slow and pushed no snap at all and he didn't recover from what appeared to be not real hard shots, if you look at drained fighters LaLonde Dawson Oscar etc they all had that same kinda look especially in their resistence, not that Errol can ever beat TC but I do think he can be stronger and more durable at a higher weight.
And youre not going to see how drained a fighter is until he has to compete unless he passed out at the weighing or gained only 2lbs like Oscar did, so I don't get your before commentLast edited by Roadblock; 08-23-2023, 04:59 PM.Comment

Watch spence's pre fight leading up to the fight. He said this was his best weight cut to date.
