    As the saying goes, lay down with dogs and get fleas.

      Spence looks high in every single interview.

          The fact that he would do that is concerning, not for the obvious reasons, but because of what it says about his mindset. Spence has looked like one of these guys that is obsessed and will NOT be denied. When someone loses that obsession and respect for their craft, they never get it back.

          Look how disciplined guys like Mayweather and Ward were when it came to their bodies and training. That drive never left them and they never lost either.

          If this was a one-off for Spence, then whatever. I've just always felt his drive and mindset were his greatest assets and I'd be worried for him if he lost them.

            I hear that. Hopefully it was a "one-off."

            That's my guess, because he looked and sounded like a dude that rarely drinks anything at all, and who has a super low tolerance. Pretty much like a teenager who's totally unused to it.

            Of course I have no idea, and hope the best for Spence, one of my favorites.

              Spence definitely needs to stop with the drinking. Leads to a short shelf life in boxing. The ones that last are the ones that keep their body clean. Not saying the man should never have a drink, but dude was clearly pretty f'd up on Saturday. Led to some funny moments I admit, and it led to him going off on Crawford, but not good in the long run.

                Boxers have ruined their lives to substance abuse since boxing started.

                Wilfredo Benitez and Gomez, Johnny Tapia, Camacho sr, Leonard, De La Hoya, Mike Tyson etc. Since I can only speak on fighters I saw.

                What I saw was terrible from these guys. It has everything to do with today’s era were all that nonsense is filmed and celebrated, but boxing is a mental sport, and none of those guys have shown to be strong minded.

                Needless to say I don’t consider either of them top fighters anymore, since they just walking time bombs of self destruction.

                Crawford beats Spence
                Loma beats tank
                Jacobs beats either Charlo

                    Are you implying they had sex?

                      Pretty much what I thought.

                      I thought it was pretty cool to see so many recognizable faces together. The only one I saw act like a punk was Tank slapping that guy's phone out of his hand. Everybody else seemed to be having a good time.
