Comments Thread For: Derrick James Believes Spence Won't Be "Drained" At 154 In Crawford Rematch

[Curtis2]

Spence is like a happy, easy walk in the park for Bud, at any weight… Bud put a beating on Spence and wasn’t even in a nasty bad mood… can you imagine how the next fight will go if Bud comes in pissed off, in a bad mood?

Let’s just call it what it is, the rematch will be nothing more than a money grab for both sides. I don’t even think Spence has any confidence in himself to think he can beat Crawford in the rematch, but money talks, bull**** walks.

The rematch doesn't do as well as the first fight. Spencerina got his ass kicked by "tbe crawford" easily. Nobody is interested. Just like the public isn't interested in carnela vs 160 Charlo because his brother didn't put up a fight. There's not much money in the rematch unless both guys change attitudes and start talking shlt and being loud

[turnedup]

IMHO he gets put into retirement after this fight, the calls have already started from commentators, expect that to ramp the hell up. Bud never left first gear on him.

spence loss to TC not because of the weight... mofos need to stop using this excuse. spence did not show anything in the first fight that it will be any different in the rematch at 154... TC is the quicker and better fighter, that's all. TC was beating spence to the punch, countering, etc. he's just a better fighter overall than spence is.

That's what it comes down to, Crawford is just a better fighter than Spence. If they fought ten times I'd bet Crawford every time.

Spence should fight at a higher catch weight of 160lbs or even 158lbs. Crawford showed his hand with the Canelo move so if i’m spence i’m taking the fight higher than 154lbs.

It's not up to Spence , Crawford gets to decide what weight they fight at. Spence does need to move up in weight though.

[Nightfall]

And i expect Spence to stop Crawford. This is boxing

[Bronx2245]

C'mon Bud, do it at 154, since you're going to move up anyway! Let's Go!!!

With Bud's technique and skill, he'll really be strong at 154. He's liable to crack Errol's skull open. Idk why Derrick James wants to send his man to do battle with Bud again. Everytime Errol even blinked his eyes, Bud had a built in defensive movement or counter already waiting for him. The main issue isn't weight, or even the car accident, although I think they each took something away from Errol. The main problem is that Errol isn't subtle in his movements, he's not.tricky, he's not sneaky. Bud can read everything he does. He pretty much knows what Errol is going to do b4 he does it, and he actually causes him to make mistakes by setting traps, and Bud has many ways he does this. Errol has to reach to hit Bud's body, exposing his head in the process. And Bud has educated loops that fly upside Errol's head everytime he reaches. Bud is too versatile, too adaptable and too smart and creative within his skill set. If he could own Errol so thoroughly in their 1st fight, can u imagine how much he has downloaded into his brain for their 2nd fight? Yet, Errol can't figure Bud out enough to cause him any trouble. U can't beat Bud by just being strong, by just hitting hard. U have to be at least close to him in the skill department, or you'll get picked apart and knocked out. Errol is very skillful, but to Bud, he's like basic math.

Is this rematch still possible now that Showtime boxing is on its way out and PBC has yet to look for a new home network? Will they embrace Crawford as their new fighter and instruct Sam Watson to circle around Bud on fight night, instead of Errol Spence?

HAHA! Out of all the responses only one poster (maybe) took the time to read the article. Why even bother posting if you're that lazy? Lol

Amazing, isn't it. A bunch of headline readers.

It's no wonder the world is going the way it is today.
