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

[TheOneAboveAll]

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.

A rematch at 160lbs makes zero sense for Crawford. That would be Bud bending over backwards to give Spence every advantage possible, for no reason at all.

I don't know, man. To me, the weight wasn't Spence's problem. It was the style; constantly doing the same thing over and over, to the point where Crawford knew where Errol's head would be after each double jab and reaching body shot.

Money grab. He can't ever win this fight. I actually thought it would be cooperative boy was I wrong.

Spence vs Thurman just to see how Spence's doing before the rematch with Bud.

Don't give Thurman another payday. He's a worse hype job than Spence

[HandsofIron]

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

Yeah have to agree, the rematch is pointless.

Spence's chances would have been better if the fight had taken place at 154 and before that conclusive, career ending beat down he took.

That’s good he’s trying to avenge his loss, but Crawford will win even easier this time.

Why would Crawford agree to a 154 weight unless he has trouble making the weight himself? Why fix what ain’t broke? Make Spence sweat the weight down and struggle to make the 147 mark. Maybe Spence doesn’t agree to the 147 weight and declines the rematch. I’m not sure if he can do that but if he did, that would free up Bud to look for another big fight.

... So do something to duck the fight.

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.

Because you're a fan.

Anyone trashing the warrior spirit is a mark, not a fan.

very annoying its even happening. Sooner the better get it over with. if its next May Im going to rage for wasting time.

Spence doesnt have the defense or speed to really make a big dent on crawford. He might be more alert, more energetic at 154 with less drain but thats about it.

Spence gon end up talkin like Jack Jenkins....IYKYK
