    You think Bud looks the same as tonight if he was thrown 70 feet from his speeding Ferrari and lost all his teeth?

    :lol:

    What was different? Like what would not being in the accident have done to change the fight that dramatically?

    You act like such an event wouldn't have permanent effects... And it was in 2019.

    Yea, **** decisions have long term effects. He could've hurt someone with that crash, or ended himself. He was never 100% after that still good. His balance seems bad, but Crawford is just a better fighter period.

    Yeah half a decade ago, and no it doesn’t matter today. Did he lose a limb, does he have paralysis, like what effect are you referring to? What exactly are you suggesting is diminished?

    I doubt the crash itself made much difference but the crash could be the result of pre-existing mental issues. He has always seemed a bit troubled, and looked very weird tonight.

    Nobody can say what isn't the same post accident. Just guys making excuses. Accident had nothing to do with it.

    So you think Bud looks exactly the same as he did tonight if he was thrown 70 feet from his speeding Ferrari and lost all his teeth in 2019?

    LOL, OKAY!

    Nope. Spence had no plan B. Once Crawford made the adjustments, which pretty much nullified Spences offense, it was easy pickens.

    What was diminished? I didn't see any drop off in Spences game post crash. What did you see? Seriously, I've asked this question several times but nobody has given a response.

    Spence is an incredible fighter, amazing resume, beats anyone on his day, car crashes or whatever don't usually impact people physically, just came up against another incredible talent, which is why it was fight of the year at least, maybe the decade. Murican boxing is back and Bud is the new face of sport, not just boxing, but sport. Overwhelming gulf between him and anyone else right now. Enjoy these incredible fights because they won't be here forever.

    Let's cut the bull****! Crawford is a stylistic nightmare for Spence. He beats him every time, car crash or no car crash. Spence is a one dimensional pressure fighter who is tailor made for Crawford - and that was evident tonight.
