Comments Thread For: Arum Doubts Spence Will Return 'In The Foreseeable Future'

[RayNguyen]

Spence has been keeping it low to not disappoint, he made a mistake and now if suffering consequences. He is young and I bet he is going to recover out of injury and come back as a better fighter mentally.

I dont understand all the secrecy. Spence should come out and let his fans know what's wrong with him.

Well after all, Erroll is a Pisces and the last I checked Pisces are known for their extreme privacy and secrecy.

Does Haymon even have young talents besides Davis? If Spence career end because of the accident he only has Wilder and Davis as real potential money makes but Wilder old already too, Porter and garcia's will do ok numbers but these nothing getting any younger either

I think what people don’t realize is how much a boxer has to absorb shots to the face and body. No one knows how serious Errol was injured in that accident to the extent of his facial and body muscles being at 100% again and at what time. I think that’s what Arum means. Spence has to be 100% where he can absorb shots like he used to otherwise he is getting stopped to the body or head by a lessor opponent. He wouldn’t be able to take the shots he took against Porter or any fighter in Porters level and beyond, without being 100% FULLY recovered. It’s a shame.

I had a friend who flipped a car and walked away without a scratch. He was still never quite the same, though. I'm not sure if his brain got shook or what. Only time will tell with Spence. It sounded as if he was going to need major dental work.

Ive rolled cars and driven a Ferrari and I can tell you the roll over he took was incredibly violent, one that often ends life. The mere fact that he was thrown from a Ferrari is testament to just how violent that car crash had to be. Keep in mind, a Ferrari is not an easy car to get in or out of. By design the driver is wedged in and everything wraps around like a compartment for the pilot. Seat belt or not it's a very difficult car to roll and it takes a tremendous amount of Inertia to throw the driver.

The odds are likely that Spence had some type of head trauma and if he struck the front of his head he almost certainly has some brain injury, seizures/epilepsy... all too common in situations like this. And that's if you are lucky.

I hope in time Spence is better.

That's all I'm going to say about it.

He will be just fine with Davis as he has a very bright future.

Yeah he's done... I hope he saved a good amount of his money. His boxing career is DONE.

It's not his teeth face or body, it's head injury.

Both mandatory bouts for the IBF and WBC belts were made this year. Under most of the alphabet belt rules, a champion is only stripped or put in recess if he cannot fulfill his mandatory defense requirements. Seems like you want Crawford to have a belt that he didn't beat the champion to get just to brag about it. Crawford wouldn't even want that. Others have had their chance to beat Spence, but they haven't. Others had to chance to beat Porter, but they didn't.

No, I've got nothing against Spence, but hes absence is self inflicted. It sounds like hes gonna be out for a while, i dont think anyone should hold the belt hostage. I heard today Crawford was talking about 160 next time out. Him and Spence, dont think its ever going to happen.
