    Stop the Thurman talk. He already fought this year. You ain't seeing him again till 2024

    It's cray cray. Earlier today benn got hated on for beating up a 35 yr old former elite shot boxer. Then we praising this kid Spence for doing the same thang. Canelo even gets credit for beating on grand pas..It's all about perception.

    Will tc be able to keep up with the volume and pressure, let’s be real Crawford hasn’t fought no TOP level opponent if he runs through Spence I’d be shocked.

    If that's the workrate Spence is gonna stick with, no one is gonna win on the cards. Only chance is to clip him.

    Just saw the replay of that heavy shot Ugas landed. Doesn't look so weird to me now. low def stream can't see their eyes.

    Feed Thurman to Boots or Vergil Ortiz,
    Make him earn it.

    Thats how Spence tries to avoid the combo body shots - hit him once on the body he pivots back to avoid the second one. He has always done this unlike Ugas who was stationary getting chopped down with bodyshots.

    Why would he do something that doesn't work and has never worked, when there is a blueprint for something that DOES work and Crawford is really, really good at it?

    Look, I CANNOT STAND Crawford. I despise his fighting style, I root for him to be KO'd every fight, I prefer Spence's style by a country mile and would root for him to win by KO. But the reality is, Bud takes him to school and stops him brutally.

    He can’t fight that way with someone who is fighting back, no offense to Ugas but he stood in the pocket inactive…horrible strategy.

    Exactly it was essentially a free shot. If anything it shows he takes a great shot. He regrouped and put it on Ugas forcing the stoppage. He created the necessary separation in class.

    I did say Spence was the obvious favorite. Or did you miss that part?
