    Here's hoping Crawford cashed his purse in advance. The PPV surely bombed big time, the fight was sold to very few territories overseas and the gate, even with a sold-out venue, shouldn't cover more than a few million from the expenses. The promoters will have to dig deep into their pockets make up for the rest.

    You can never be certain in boxing but I'm confident that neither Terry or Errol can take that Super Boots power and I wouldn't be surprised if he put them to sleep or knocked them senseless early if he lands clean. But in order for that to happen they need to man up and stop running from that mandatory smoke.

    Neither Terry or Errol have fought many punchers at all, let alone ones their own size and on the rare occasions they have they've been hurt or in Terry's case hurt and dropped. Errol has been hurt numerous times by light-average punchers and he pulls little girl ouch that hurt faces when he does take a pop on the whiskers.

    From all the reports I've heard Super Boots is a terror in the gym and everyone who shares a ring with him or has seen him up close and personal speaks very highly of him

    What the hell are you talking about? Spence is the one who got the fight to get to negotiations in the first place. After collecting his 3rd belt, he called out Bud. Bud didn't call out him after beating Porter. He said I don't need Spence! He the one who need to get in the ring with Spence and stop fighting these C level fighters! Matter of fact. Spence wouldn't have been in an accident if Bud didn't duck him and fight I be sneezing instead lol. So, miss me with your excuses! Bud supposed to be p4p #1 one, and all of a sudden in the middle of the negotiations, he wants a tune up? Spence don't do tune ups. He was out the ring twice for 1 year and a half and fought Danny and Ugas!

    Come on man, stop faking bro. You know as well as I do that Spence and his team has the power and control in the negotiations for that fight. You also know that Spence's team had him collect those inhouse belts for leverage. Crawford never had a shot at those belts because Porter didn't want that smoke and Ugas was tied to a contract for the Spence fight. You can go on and on about the caliber of fighters they fought but you know that there is not a fighter on Spence's resume that can hang with Crawford. Let me say this, there is no fear from Spence or Crawford but the control of making the fight is in Spence's court. His team chose to go the Kambosa vs Haney route and Crawford wasn't having it. All Spence has to say is " I want this fight, make it happen " and it will happen.

    They froze him out for years and somehow now it's Crawford's fault. PBC know what everyone else knows already, Crawford beats Spence.
    And he might even knock him out, so they they don't want to risk it.

    One thing I learned a long time ago in the fight game is if you can dish it out you better be prepared to take. The question is can Boots?

    Terence Crawford has become a legit KO artist. Boots sure as hell appears to be one as well. Spence is a world class p4p operator but he’s not putting cats lights out like these guys are. Yes Ennis needs to do it as he advances levels but from what we’ve seen of him it shouldn’t surprise anyone if he does. We need a 147 tournament. I’m so tired of this.

    This is true but being able to take what you dish out isn't the same as being able to take it from big or huge punchers and, as said, both Terry and Errol have barely fought any.


    Brook KO 65%
    Ugas KO 37% career 140 pounder who came up
    Danny KO 52% career 140 pounder
    Mikey KO 71% blown up 135 pounder whose KO% above 135 = zero
    Peterson KO 41% career 140 pounder
    Algieri KO 31% - career 140 pounder
    Bundu KO 32%
    Van Heerden KO 36%
    Ocampo KO 61% even Spence admitted Ocampo had no power
    Lo Greco KO 47%
    Porter KO 47%

    Super Boots might turn out to be a bust. Maybe he won't be able to take a solid pop on the whiskers from a big hard punching 147 pounder his own size and I know he lost to pressure fighter GAR in the amateurs. But that being said, I really can't see Spence taking these and Super Boots is too fast, athletic, rangy, accurate and skilled for them not to land on him

    Boots is really good. When I saw him fight I was like this mother****er can fight. I can see EJ fighting him either at 147 or 154 but honestly I don’t think Bud will fight him. Bud is a weird bloke. Fancy fighting Avenesyan when he could have fought EJ.

    He's very talented and certainly looks the part so far.

    Errol's mandatory Super Boots has petitioned the IBF twice to fight him and Errol has only defended against a mandatory once in 4.5 years and that was against dosser Ocampo who was ranked #3 (the #1 and #2 spots were vacant at the time). Errol could've easily fought Super Boots but instead he's opted to fight a Thurman who has fought once in 3.5 years and is 1-1 in his last 2 and who nearly got knocked out in his fight prior to those

    This rumours keep going around but EJ said he is not going to fight Thurman who shamelessly ducked him for years.
