Spence needs to separate himself from Broner, Tank etc

[richardt]

Never seen him drunk like that and it is a terrible look, Your body is your temple and if you want to be a legend you have to be discipline...He looked overweight and drunk and was acting out of character...Broner and Tank were running around like clowns and I hope Spence doesnt down follow this path because it is a path of wasted talent...

I guess I see it a little differently. These guys gave up their childhood to take on huge disciplines from when they were little; learning to box, working out hard, all work and no play, and this when most kids and young men are doing whatever they want, hanging out with friends, kicking back, these guys were sacrificing their personal lives to pour it all in the gym, fight amateur fights, traveling to different places, missing their families, just to some day become Golden Gloves champs, amateur standouts, and eventually world contenders and champions.

They sacrificed a lot of their youth and even adulthood to get to where they are. So I'm okay with a drink here and there and getting silly, as long as they know when to cut off and get back to their disciplines. As long as it is partying every once and a while and is controlled and they take Uber when needed, then I think that is okay.

We see them on TV and we just see one tiny, tiny portion of their lives on TV when they get to finally relax and have a good time Saturday night......but the rest of the time they are giving their blood, sweat, and tears to be where they are. Thats the part we dont see day in and day out....the aches and pain and sacrifice and the stress that is involved. If us guys on the boards dont have fun and break the tension once in a while, after all the hard work, we get coiled way too tight as well.

getting to the top is just the beginning tho...all the work was put in to make a legacy..why mess it up now??

If they don't drink regulary then that night was fine.
Hell I think Larry Bird would drink beer after every game and he's top ten.
Jordan smokes cigars all the time.
I mean as long as they can control it and don't turn into Vin Baker they'll be alright.

I 100% agree. I'm also hoping they dont mess up all the years of sacrifice by them looking at where they are as a final destination - when this is the time for them to become even more disciplined to get to and stay at the top. I also think that if we watched each of those guys every day this week, we would see the blood, sweat, and tears they put in. But instead, we see the video monitor capture the smallest part of their lives when they are just having fun. They have to let it out once in a while to keep the sanity of a hugely difficult job they have. Now if we see a pattern, then that wouldnt be good but I'm not seeing that, not with Spence. He probably is somewhere putting in 8 hours of non-stop work in the gym today as we speak working harder than 90% of the working class.

Maybe Broner needs to start hanging with Spence instead of Floyd. Seems like Floyd is the common denominator is the Davis & Broner situation. Spence can be a good influence on Broner. Broner isn't a leader, he's a follower. The only people influenced by him are people dumber than he is. And let's be real, Tank ain't getting no Mensa invites

[Caught Square]

He always looks high to me with his expressions and cerebral nature.

I don't think he was that drunk but maybe feels the pressure to promote himself and make the Crawford fight as big as possible. Neither guy is a big talker or a superstar considering their quality and being undefeated American champions so for each side to go through the whole network obstacle it's gonna have to be huge. Hanging out with those guys may make him want to talk more but honestly I didn't see anything alarming, just a guy a bit worked up about a nemesis in Crawford and taking the chance to get some limelight.

same...that was a horrible

[deanrw]

Broner is only 29 and has not reached his prime yet. Bad influence? Hell nah! He has to worry about them other dudes influencing him.

One of the Charlo's was there a messed up as well..someone has to rise above the crowd and not just follow it to disaster

Blowing off steam once in a while is fine tbh but the thing with drinking and partying thesedays is that with booze comes ******* and weed. Its everywhere. Everyone takes that **** and Tank and Charlos roll woth a rough crew they say.

So it's likely Spence will be in close proximity to guys doing lines which could be a disaster.

The only way to do it is the not drink AT ALL until your career is over.
