Comments Thread For: Derrick James Says Errol Spence Being Weight-Drained 'Wasn't the Issue' Against Crawford

[Rockybigblower]

Derrick says at 154 we'll see, Spence won't be drained or depleted. In the next breath, he says that weight wasn't the issue, that the issue was that Bud was better that night, and that his game plan and his coach was better. Errol's problem is Henny w/apple juice

I dont drink but that sounds delicious. Is it a real thing?

As long as it's not Bivol...

Canelo did offer to fight Bivol at 175, though.

Since that’s where he is a titleholder and brings nothing to the table at 168.

Nothing? He brings more than Charlo did.

Charlo agreed to a $2 million purse plus a percentage of the PPV.

Bivol was playing hardball during the negotiations in that department as well.

"hardball" okay

Just didn't wanna get embarrassed again, and that's okay.

Derrick James don't even have a clue whether the rematch happens or not.

He was willing to do the rematch at 175 where he “got embarrassed” the first time.

BoMac didn't get in the ring and beat Spence up , Crawford did. Crawford beat him so comprehensively that there is little if any doubt in my mind that there is anything that Spence can do against Crawford. Terence is just a better fighter all around. If Spence and Crawford switched trainers , Crawford would still beat Spence. That doesn't mean that Spence isn't a good fighter or Derrick James is a bad trainer. Crawford is simply better. There's no shame in that.

[danceswithfire]

maybe not the only issue then

What an alibi to say that Spence is drained. He has been fighting at 147 for a long time. He got drained during fight with Crawford because he got drained? Be man enough and accept that Crawford exposed his weaknesses
