As someone who had, shall we say, a bit of a chemical dependency problem in my early twenties (hey, I was twenty-something and liked to fuck on cocaine, sue me), I can sympathize with anyone who went through similar dependencies and I hope he can straighten himself out. As a boxer, perhaps his time has concluded. I wish him well either way.

Don't blame him for hanging in for a record payday vs Craw, his 2nd shyte fight in a row. It's only gonna get worse for him as the studs are gonna want his scalp in their records.
No amount of $$$ can pay for becoming a vegetable in a nursing home.

Spence has been through a lot, and alcohol definitely played a role in his decline. Hopefully, he finds the right mindset to get back to training and feeling like himself again.

Or were y'all one of the ones, who were on here saying Spence would easily beat Bud?

It certainly takes some of the shine off of that win.
The fight was considered 50/50 in every publication & by 90% of fans.
It's only in hindsight that everybody now claims Spence was "shot" in spite of being undefeated & unified champ at 147

People forget how damaging alcohol can be, especially for an athlete at the highest level. Spence’s struggles make sense when you think about all the wear and tear his body has gone through. Social media makes it even worse because people only see the highlights and judge from that. Meanwhile, some boxers focus more on getting free TikTok followers than perfecting their craft, which says a lot about where the sport's headed.Last edited by Leebrond; 03-24-2025, 10:28 AM.
