Comments Thread For: Crawford Reveals That Spence Rematch Must Happen At 147 Unless Notified In Writing

[Combat Talk Radio]

You're too melodramatic. As usual.

It's all up to Spence at the end of the day. Whatever forum posters say here have zero influence on what fights get made. Don't be childish.

What you should be wondering about is what keeps Errol from coming out to make things clear. Does he want it or not? October is just around the corner, the last quarter of the year. He has to decide before the year ends. Otherwise...

There's no melodrama.

Chris Eubank showed you that rematches can go DRAMATICALLY different.

Nobody around here gave Eubank a chance. He showed you fighters ALWAYS have a chance.

What I want from NSB is to be fans and actually recognize what the fight game used to be about - which is that anything can happen especially if one guy didn't show up on the night.

Fights where a rematch was warranted: Loma vs Haney, Lara vs Canelo etc.
Crawford beat the hell out of Spence it was not even competitive at all.

Andy Ruiz "beat the hell out of Joshua it was not even competitive at all".

What happened in the rematch?

If it will be "totally different" then why are you against it?

What we should have seen, is a durable Errol Spence basically walking through punches even if he got outboxed. We didn't.

What we should have seen is Crawford's eye closing off of Errol's shots like we saw with Kell Brook. We didn't.

What we should have seen is Crawford dropping rounds like he did against a damaged Shawn Porter. We didn't.

We didn't see Errol Spence show up, period. That fight was less about Crawford's skill and more about Errol's clear decline.

What we don't know, is whether that decline was just about weight, or him making too much money, or him being over confident, or him being overtrained, or him being drained, or him having his water F'n spiked, etc etc etc. We don't know what we saw, we know what some of you thought you saw (Which was a skill gap).

There's no logical reason that fresh off of a car wreck, Errol Spence can basically dominate Danny Swift for eight rounds yet can't barely win one against Crawford when even David F'n Avanesyan was having success. Come on man.

Damaged Sean Porter, drained Gamboa, Crawford wobbled and dropped? None of this has ever happened on planet Earth. Delusion a decade in the making.

[-MEGA-]

If Crawford doesn't nullify the jab, and assuming Spence shows up, it's a way different fight with Crawford getting hurt. He HAS to do the same strategy if he's to have any chance against Errol.

You're acting like Errol is beneath Amir Khan. Which is getting dangerously close to classifying you as a mark.

Youre the mark. Hoping Errol lands a hail mary is your only hope.

Again, it's all up to Spence. No one else. Not forum posters.

This site must be sick of you using their name NSB, referring to them as one view that always disagrees with a Youtuber. Do you and your partner always in agreement? Go and shop groceries with her/him and see if you will agree on everything.

You know damn well the Spence you saw wasn't 100%. That's Spence's fault, but he made no excuses. He deserves to run it back and hopefully prove what we saw was him just not showing up. The paying audience was cheated out of a competitive match and not due to skill difference.

Real fans support the fight game.

The audience was not cheated out of a competitive match & the result was absolutely due to the difference in skill employment on the night.

Not mad at a rematch.

As of today there is not an announcement on this rematch either way, so the terms of the fight have yet to be determined. If Spence failed to follow the contract to work to get it to 154 that is on him and his team. Who is to say that the fight doesn’t go off at 154 or some catch weight? At this point in the negotiations it’s another bargaining chip for Crawford to get what he wants. For those interested it seems like it will prove interesting.

[hitmanjosh]

If I were Crawford I would push for 147 so I could move on to bigger fights, he can’t beat you no matter what the weight class is, so move on!

Oh Man
You're still haven't gotten over the Errol Spence loss
Heh heh
Look i know you had everything riding on Spence to defeat Crawford that night
But it didn't happen Soooo stop looking for excuses of Spence's performance
Get over it now & give Terrence Crawford his respect after that great performance
Sheeesh

TC just posted on his Instagram a few weeks ago saying he's 180 right now so a fight against Canelo at 168 is not out of the picture.. But here he's saying the rematch with Spence must be at 147... Just like how he wanted to fight pac originally at 135.
