Spence dodges Crawford talk, then argues with Porter at post fight press conference.

[Citizen Koba]

Respect to Shawn Porter he made this a foty contender

Straight up. Very rare I stay up to watch the US fights these days, specially the West coast ones but this time I'm glad I did even though I didn't get my ass to bed until 6.30a.m.

Absolutely superb fight with both guys giving their all and both guys showing the kinda will and desire to win that champions are made of. Can't believe I'm seeing ish about Spence being 'exposed' even though I only thought he won by the narrowest of margins... this is exactly the kind of fight that shows me that a guy has got what it takes. It's like people just forget that even the best in the world get touched up and have tough fights when they face other top level guys - even Floyd did, even Manny did, but there's this weird revisionism goes on makes people think that struggling through adversity to eke out a close win is somehow evidence that a fighter ain't that special, whereas to me it's exactly the quality I want to see. Everyone gonna have tough fights, it's how they deal with it that counts.

What bugs me is his mindset. "Crawford needs me more than I need him" and "Crawford needs to promote himself better"


He is turning into a diva more and more. That kind of talk makes him look scared.

Oh he is becoming a full blown one. What’s scary is he’s not even a superstar... and we hate even diva superstars..
People hate nelo who is a superstar when he makes diva moves..
People hated floyd.

Spence who is not even close to their drawing numbers is becoming a diva already.lol!

I can’t support a fighter who is not even pushing for the best fight available for his legacy... and continues to have lame excuses why the fight is not gonna happen.

We missed out on Floyd-pac when they were at their primes.
Pbc fanboys should push for this fight while they’re still at their best

That is a ducking mentality, a mentality that shows he knows Crawford will beat him.

If you mention Crawford to him he gets triggered and goes on the defensive.


You mention Spence to Crawford and Crawford just says he wants the fight.

[Joe Beamish]

All I know is, if he fights Danny Garcia next, we have a problem.

Thank you. Well said. Truth about the state of boxing.

Spence comes across as a spoilt brat here

[dibzvincent143]

I think Spence is really spooked at how HARD he had to WORK this fight.

A lot of his fights he didnt have to work hard, he got an easy KO.

Porter made him work every second of every round until the end, Spence had to fight at 100% not coast at 50% where hes comfortable. He probably felt a wave of relief when he dropped Porter only to feel the dred when Porter got back up and came back at him.

He knew in his mind he ranked Porter a class below Crawford and Pacquaio, so hes thinking if he had to work 100% to pull out a SD over Porter, what are those fights going to be like.

This.

I think mentally spence is defeated as his expectations was too high and said it himself other than stoppage it’d be a disappointment.
Not only did he not stop porter, porter also managed to put in very good rounds and mauled him. And many times made him look bad than the other way around.
You can see it in his body language. He was trying to dance2 and look cool to convince us he fine and everything under control when it’s not...
the KD definitely gave way of separation.. had it not happen there’d be more complaints of robbery. The fight itself is close.. and if im one of the judges i would have given it to porter.

and here we have: Mr Errol Low Balls Spence

Crawford is a bogeyman. Everybody pretends like this man fights in his own division. Other top welterweight don`t wanna fight this guy.

I agree, TC is the NEW boogeyman

They dont want no part of Bud Crawford. It couldnt be any more clear than they are making it, weve all seen and heard these words and actions before. Its obvious. They got leaned on because everybody else wants that fight and they came up with the "EVENTUALLY" talk and the "CLEARING OUT OUR SIDE OF THE STREET" ramblings. Weve heard it all before, cuz they have said that they can feel like they have sort of shown interest so please get off our backs about it. Seen very similar talk from other PBC fighters who are skirting around the fights everybody else wants.

It’s obvious.

First it’s “win a title at 147 and we’ll talk” ..so he does and now it’s “come over to our side of the street”

Now they’re already signing fights with Danny Garcia on the day of present fight, making it impossible to even negotiate anything with Crawford.

I’m not even a big Crawford fan (i think he’s a great fighter) but they’re shamelessly avoiding any possibilities of fighting him. I used to like Spence but their actions are making me side with Crawford.
