    I don't remember him doing it until recently but if he turns his back on Crawford he is going to have a hard time turning back around.

    Definitely poor form from Spence it's protect yourself at all times. Garcia gumshield was him being complacent but Ugas definitely buzzed him and Spence's mind decided his gumshield was more important which it's not.

    Wonder if having a mouth full of fake teeth hurts his gumshield retention ability.

    In an interview, Spence said that he was afraid that Ugas had knocked his teeth out.

    he got his mouthpiece knocked out and instinctively went looking for it, thought the ref would halt the action to retrieve it and instead got hit again by ugas, who took advantage of the momentary loss of focus by spence. was nothing.

    Yeah but he was still buzzed/rocked at that moment in time and his wits were momentarily not with him. Quickly recovers his composure though because he has killer fighting instincts like Tyson Fury.

    Post the Ugas fight he realized and accepted his mistake with the mouthpiece.

    He's going to beat up Crawford and send him back to Nebraska a broken man.

    Non issue. He moved away and won the fight like a pro does.

    Tell that to Pernell Whitaker, who ran constantly, and he is one of the best to ever do it.

    "ran constantly" what a load of ****. He did it a couple of times most notably in the first Ramirez fight which he was robbed of a win after that he usually stood flat footed in front of opponents either making them miss and countering them silly or beating their asses on the inside.

    Turned his back on Oskee, Trinidad, Rodriguez, Roy Jones turned his back. It's a natual fighter's instinct as a survival skill.

    Spence fought Porter and walked way with an SD.

    When he fights Crawford, he walks away with PTSD.
