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

So what's the answer? Does Spence want this fight at the same weight? What's taking him too long to decide? It should be a no brainer.

So there's a deadline wherein Spence has to notify whether it's at 154 or 147. It makes sense. There HAS to be a deadline. This is about making the proper weight within a short period of time. This is no joke.

It's no laughing matter. Weight in which the fight should be made has to be announced ASAP. Not tomorrow, next day, next week.

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.

This is even worse than a triangle theory because it's not even the same fighter. You might as well say that Ngannou is going to knock out Fury. Eubank didn't get annihilated in the first fight. He got clipped and stopped. He was the favorite in the first fight too. Spence got dominated. He didn't have his moments. It wasn't even a little close. Sure, maybe he gets lucky and Bud has a really off night. Or maybe he ends up with permanent brain damage this time. You aren't the one going in the ring risking your life on what amounts to a Hail Mary. When you have a potentially career ending one-sided beatdown, there's no need for a rematch, and this "fight" gets in the way of super fights for Bud. He's got a chance at 3 division undisputed beating Mell, and then potentially even a shot at Canelo.

Spence needa beg Thurman for a fight at 154

So what you're saying is that Joshua/Ruiz 2 was a waste of time. Right?

I'm getting more and more convinced you have no idea what you're looking at when you watch boxing. Fights in which one guy gets clipped with a lucky shot and isn't able to recover are in no way similar to ones in which one fighter beats the crap out of the other guy and the loser never manages to have a moment. Joshua had dropped Ruiz before he himself got dropped, and final scorecards going into the final round were 57-56, even with Joshua getting dropped 3 times prior to the finish. To think that is even remotely comparable to a fight in which Crawford was 79-70 over Spence, dropped him 3 times before the stoppage, and won virtually every minute and was never in trouble is asinine. Similarly, in your other example, Eubank was up 2-3 rounds before he got dropped and stopped in 4. You probably think that Mayweather - Mcgregor needs a rematch. Or maybe Canelo should rematch Yildirim, by your logic, instead of fighting Benavidez.

Also, rematch clauses are largely bad. If a rematch is warranted, it will be called for by the fans.

So pretty much he's waiting for Spencer to cave and write he can't make 147 to make the fight at 154.

Who was that dude in Bud's team from the article earlier this week saying Bud's demanding 147 rematch?

Or was it a poster thread in nsb?

Bud doesn't want to do the rematch at all. Thinks its pointless. He knows Spence can't make 147. He's trying to line himself up for the Charlo/Canelo winner.

Steven “So Cold” Nelson and Bernie Tha Boxer from the other day…where did these guys come from all of a sudden making comments for Team Crawford?

What’s up with BoMac?

Nelson has spoken on Bud for a while. They're homies from way back. I think BoMack is in UK Prison


No clue who Bernie Tha Boxer is though. Sounds like some third string hypeman.

If Spence can't make 147 then then put it down in writing so it happens at 154. That's what this whole article is about. Spence activated the rematch clause not Crawford.

I know. What I'm saying is that Bud doesn't want the rematch at either weight. He wants a better fight.
