Comments Thread For: Errol Spence Shuts Down Retirement Talk: 'Yeah I Got My Ass Beat, **** Was Past Due, I Didn't Have Boxer Lifestyle'

Hell, he didn’t say he was doing all that, you sound like a snitch the man has a family dammm! If it were a dope case you would get the man mandatory life all that extra ****!

I typically don’t respond to moronic posts such as yours but what are you? Some kind of special needs retard or something or is that both your parents are blood relatives?

In any regards; I’ve just heard Spence admit that he was not living a life of a boxer. Which implies to me that he was not only neglecting his body but also his health with his reckless and undisciplined life choices.

I am glad to see Spence be accountable for his boxing performance against Crawford. I wish he would use proper English and sound like he got some damn sense though. To me Spence is still a champion. I would like to see him fight a tomato can or two, get his body back in shape, then rematch Crawford. There were technical issues with Spence when he fought Crawford such as: lack of defense, no side to side movement and most of all no gameplan against Crawford. Those things will come back to haunt him again if he doesn't take a few tune up fights, work on his shortcomings in the ring and live a cleaner lifestyle. If he don't make the proper adjustments, the second fight with Crawford will turn out the exact same.

So there's no mention of the rematch. It looks like it doesn't have any definite date. It could happen in 2026, no problem. Who cares? Crawford doesn't care.

This guy Spence loves holding up the division.

Wait, I thought according to Spence fanboys, he had brain damage and was basically comatose in the ring?

Spence was never that great, he was very good fundamentally and was always pretty cautiously defensive. He beat Ugas and Garcia post car wreck crap and he looked fine. Same guy that Bud demolished. The difference is, Bud is on a different level then other guys and Spence had no clue what to do.

Spence is using the excuse of "not living the life" because he got his butt handed to him. He also gives credit to Crawford. I like Spence, but no version of Spence ever beats Bud.

And if Bud stays healthy and father time stays off his back for a few more years, he will KO everyone at 154, unify and retire. His haters know it and hate it, Bud is an all timer talent wise. Canelo won't fight him because he gets outboxed by Bud. Write that down.

…the hell are you talking about? Or did you miss the article where USA Boxing welcomed transgender (DIRECT QUOTE, THEIR WORDS) athletes?

USA boxing can eat ****. Man or "woman's". We're sick of this bull****.

Good honest answers from Spence. No bs. Hard not to respect that.

I believe Spence when he says he's not living a boxer lifestyle. He's more into the partying, hanging out a glamourous lifestyle in Dallas than commit to training 24/7 like his younger days. That's what comes with earning the wealth and trying to stay on top. You can't just go into boxing mode for two months prior to your fight when the other guy is in boxing mode 365 days a year. There will be levels shown.

All facts! Hit the nail there.

Talk is cheap. Is he gonna actually live a boxer lifestyle? Gonna put some time in learning the advanced skills? Just get a date for the useless rematch and move on. See how your skills measure up at 154. Gotta see him back in the ring making improvements to buy that. At this rate, he's gonna be ring rusty as heck for the rematch and he's gonna get a worse beatdown than the first fight.

it sounds like he's just acknowledged he's not the same anymore
and his family's development makes him alright with that

Its nothing but a testament to old boxing wisdom. U can't be a alcoholic and box. If u know boxing history, u know about Young Griffo, Eddie Cool and countless other men who wasted great potential due to drinking alcohol to excess. Spence is just another example of that, and that has a lot to do with why he was handed such a vicuous asswhipping. And he can train all day and night, but he can't get a new liver and new organs. His organs are older than his age because he has beaten them up with drinking, and the car accident, and the Bud beating. So his body can look like its in shape, but once the punches start flying, all his accumulated damage and alcohol over the years will be exposed. His face will puff up, he'll be less resistant to hard shots, his liver won't want to take another pounding from Bud's fists after being pounded by Henny on the rocks with apple juice for years and years . Down goes Errol. They may look evenly matched on paper but Bud never abused himself or had any accidents so there is a huge difference there. Bud lives a fighters life. This is perfect examples for the young generation to study and learn from. U can drink and end up like Young Griffo, Eddie Cool and Errol or stay clean and end up like Bud.

Spot on! Excellent post!
