I don't need to watch you. That neighbor who hates your guts tells me everything you do.

No. I'm not into dwarfs like you. I know you wish you could find an older man to take you on, but you will need to look elsewhere.

You said you saw me at 2.00 AM. You didn't say anything about my neighbour. Just seek some help and tell the psychologist about your fetish. They'll do all they can to help you. Talk to them.

By the way, my neighbour actually loves me. We get on great.

Nah. Your neighbor secretly hates you and says the only time he sees you leave your attic is when you make your monthly run to the local pharmacy for your pills.

You've got it back to front. I get my pills off my neighbour while she goes for runs for no reason. Maybe it's the pills.

At least you admit you're a pill addict. That's a start.

I never said said i took the pills though did i?

No, i put them in your coffee whilst you're behind the curtain in the dark and wait until you fall asleep and.... Well, it's best not to say. I don't want to incriminate myself.

Thanks for the thoughts. I don't view him as a complete fighter. He's got a bad habit of holding his hands at around his chest, he moves in straight lines, doesn't have much in the way of head movements, has very basic footwork and almost never takes an angle. And he fights almost exclusively on the front foot. That's a lot of skills missing for a complete fighter.

As you said, he's got a pretty good jab, and sets up most of his work behind that, which also means when you take that jab away, he's in struggle city. He has a bad habit of loading up on punches, which leaves him vulnerable to being timed and countered. He struggles with fighters with good feet. He's not defensively responsible during his volume combination punching either.

The other big question is whether Crawford or the car accident or both cracked his chin. He gets caught not infrequently, and before the accident he had a pretty good chin. But a car accident isn't insignificant, and Bud put a hellacious beating on him. He may not have the durability he once had, and he almost certainly has lost the confidence. How's he going to react? He's not got the skills to fight on the outside, and his style requires confidence in his invincibility, which just took a mortal blow. If you just got stopped badly as a swarming pressure fighter, often that means you won't be as prone to pull the trigger, and you may hesitate, and both will cost big.

Add to that a trainer change, and his apparent intention to jump back in against a hard opponent with a brand new trainer and likely a lot of ring rust, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him get stopped again, badly, and get retired for good.

Excellent post! I agree with everything you stated. There are too many glaring flaws for Spence to be considered elite. I think he's elite in spots, such as framing and controls on the inside. That's actually where I thought he could have success against Bud and he beat him inside too lol.

The other thing I noticed that he did was lean over his lead foot when throwing his back hand. He always did it but got progressively worst, especially in the Garcia and Ugas fights, it was glaring! So much so, Ugas actually had success and in the first round with step back counters before he just stared standing in a high guard like a moron.

I don't drink coffee. That was probably your twin brother you were cranking behind the curtain. The two of you enjoyed yanking each other's cranks.

I don't have a twin brother. But is that what your fantasy is? Me and a twin yanking each other's cranks?

You're a sick man, Rob. Sick.

Not a fantasy you just give off those weird attic humiliation pawn vibes.

Dominating and correcting you gives off this vibe? Or do you fantasize about this happening BECAUSE i dominate you? You want me to share in your fetish? No thanks Rob, i'm good with a cup of Tea and a biscuit. You do you though.
