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

[brettWall]

Running things back is number one on Spence’s to-do list but he’s hoping that Crawford, who has full autonomy, will allow their showdown to take place at 154 pounds. James is also waiting on Crawford’s decision. If the pound-for-pound star agrees to allow their rematch to take place in the junior middleweight division, James is convinced that fans will see a completely different fighter.

He's waiting on Crawford's decision? Why is Crawford taking time to make the decision?

Will they take it if Crawford says the rematch will take place at 147 again?

Stop the cap, James! Your guy simply isn’t good enough to beat Crawford. I’m sure you gave good pointers on what to do and what not to do, etc, but Spence has always been and always will be a good solid fundamentally-sound boxer, but very stiff and basic down to a T. Straight up and down with no special effects.

Once again, where were all of these "Spence is drained" people BEFORE the fight.

Why didn't they all win money on what was universally considered a 50/50 fight?

And why couldn't Shawn Porter, Danny Garcia, or Yeordenis Ugas take advantage of the "weight-drained" Spence?

These folks are sick in the head

Might not be drained, but that doesn't mean the outcome will be different.

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.

Boycott this fight by all means its a scam. Spence is damaged goods his eye is broken. Ugas almost knocked him out with a jab but purposely stopped cause he was instructed by haymon not to win.

It would be wise of Spence to take a tune up or two before entering back into the ring with Bud Crawford. His inactivity out of the ring is what help ruining his career.

One cannot fight every 16 months and expect to still remain as sharp, tip top shape, focused and disciplined as their previous bout. The man has fought only three times in the past four years.

I don't think DJ watched that first fight. They should maybe both retire.

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.

Spence has no say so on weight in the rematch. Bud gets to choose the weight as per the contract.

Lol Dj gonna look even worse now if Spence get his ass handed to him again in a rematch at 54.
