Comments Thread For: Crawford-Spence: As Promised, Spence Exercises Contractual Right To Immediate Rematch

The rematch will be different at 154

i meant, it's not gonna make spence beat crawford just because mofos is talking crap about spence... that could motivate spence to train harder but the outcome aint gonna be any different is what i was saying.

You will be surprised what hard work without draining can do. Also, helps alleviate the balance issues, hell, the first knock down was from a jab. That wasn't Errol in there, that was Spence's exoskeleton. The game plan doesn't work if he's too weak to execute it.

Surely no boxing fan would pay to see this unnecessary fight. Maybe casuals, or guys simply bored on a Saturday night.
I'm not paying diddly squat; I'll watch only if 1) it's free and 2) has a decent undercard.

Perhaps you’ll get two big fights from T in 2024 instead of just one

boxers usually fight a light touch between harder fights

Hey Spence… maybe you should have moved to 160 and stole one of those wack belts in that division.. then moved up to face Canelo in the third fight of his deal for a career high payday

Hindsight is 20/20 because from a financial standpoint, that's exactly what he should have done.

[Gary Coleman]

Not even joking when I say this, but why not have the fight at 160? It's in everyone's best interest to do so. 160 is closer to both guy's natural weights and it gets both men acclimated to the higher weight for potential future bouts (Canelo/Charlo).

I'd imagine Bud isn't threatened by anything Errol brings to the table at any weight, so why not?

Wins across the board for everyone.

People have a problem with Spence wanting a rematch. I don’t. Here’s a minor reason why. I have so many but this is what came to mind. Simon Brown kod Norris, and Norris came back to win…Shane Mosley got taken to the wood shed against Forrest RIP and fought an incredible rematch and LOST to Forrest again. Danny Lopez lost to Sal Sanchez and lost the rematch. Sometimes fighters have to try. It’s inside them to want to beat the guy who beat them. Marquez vs Vasquez….Pacquiao vs Marquez, like history is filled with rematches. So I don’t have a problem with Spence and Bud fighting a rematch at a new weight. Spence wants to gain revenge, and I’m glad that like any fighter who considers himself great…that they avoid the rematch.

Now imma say something that a few of you might be like, why pick on him. Kostya Tszyu was on top of the world until he faced CoolVince Philips. Philips whoops his ass and he doesn’t ask for the rematch. History judged him. And that’s why he’s never talked about the way some of you may talk amongst diehards. He’s never in this we talks. Always Chavez or Pryor. That’s how you’re judged when you don’t do rematches.

History is filled with great rematches after bad beatings or kos. Pep took a beating against Saddler and came back to beat Saddler and regain his title. Sorry but I welcome Spence Bud rematch.

Crawford himself said it out his own mouth.

OK - I saw it. My error, although it's really not come up before in any of his previous fights. But Spence has a much tougher time getting down to 147 than Bud does. Plus - making Spence fight at 147 is beneficial to Bud and might cause Errol to not make this fight. I'm all for rematches but not this soon and I'll bet that the money won't be there (PPV) like it was for the first fight. I see more gain for Bud to try and chase another title instead of eating up six months fighting Spence again.

I'm thinking more like Liston-Patterson II and Foreman-Frazier II. And I'm in Dallas and a Spence supporter.

[TheOneAboveAll]

I've never read, anywhere, that Crawford struggles to make the 147 weight. Never. The only reason for Bud to really move up is to conquer other titles. That's it. Bud will be 36 this month. I don't think his body is growing anymore.

Read more. Bud has stated several times in the build up and aftermath of the Spence fight that he struggles to make 147.
