The thread title is a bit erroneous...
Spence Can't Spar Until Posts In Mouth Replaced By Permanent Teeth.
The posts will never be replaced...he's waiting for the bone to grow into and around them making them secure. After that they will bond the crowns to the posts. They will never have the give that a natural tooth has from ligaments and will always be more vulnerable.
Whatever happens from here out I feel like it's possible & maybe probable this has some effect on his ability to take a punch. Can't believe getting his face jarred enough to fook up his grill won't have some impact to his ring career. Feel like the Spence story & legacy will be different than it woulda been if he'd kept his ass on the straight and narrow.Comment

I never thought he was as great as he was hyped up to be even before the crash so if someone like Crawford beats him, he'll get full credit from me. Hopefully Spence's teeth heal well and he looks good in a tune up so we get no excuses.Comment

I feel that Spence still has enough in him to beat most welterweights out there even if he has sustained some lingering damage.
What I question is his ability to compete with the top guys from here on. I am not referring to his skillset but his ability to endure a grueling training camp to get his cardio up to championship level again.
Will his body handle six to eight weeks of repeated stress to allow him to prepare physically is my biggest concern. If it can not then I picture him losing any future Porter type of fights where cardio is key.Comment

There ya go! Quarantine's helping a few guys out...especially guys with bruised egos like Wilder. At least the world isn't making memes about him anymore. Lol
Happy this pandemic has given Spence and some other fighters some much-needed rest to come back better.Comment
