    I don’t wish Crawford to die just lose in the rematch.

    If so, then possibly: Spence will sort of box and move, somehow similar to what AJ became after the Ruiz KO. Or even do a Mikey. Team Spence won't pressure themselves for the win or to look good anymore. They won't give Bud another satisfaction. If they win, they win, if not, then just not. But if there would be an opportunity, they would take advantage of it. Since it was Bud who won previously, his previous hunger won't be 100% the same. While Spence already lost his 0, so the pressure on his back to keep it was already lessened. Win or lose again, Team Spence would just continue on elsewhere like vs Thurman. What do you think?

    It will be a miracle if Errol Spence pulls of a Bowe v Holyfield 2 type comeback

    Spence was a shell of himself when he fought Crawford - he had one fight in 2.5 years before fighting him and was evidently drained. What is the point of fighting Crawford again at this point he's had 2.5+ years of inactivity then got fed to Crawford essentially with his hands behind his back.

    Crawford vs Spence would have been way more competitive years back. Not saying Spence would win but with Crawford's fragile mandible (see stanky leg Gamboa send shivers through his legs, and Kavaliauskas dropping him), Spence could have KOd him

    From memory, the loser of the fight gets to activate the rematch clause, but the winner determines the weight the fight is at.

    Crawford should call for the fight to be at 147. Then Spence can decide if he really wants the rematch. Because even at 154 it's a stupid idea if it's anything but a cashout.

    Is this a joke? This is what you hope happens? Crawford is going to end his career, possibly his life. Were going on the 4th car wreck here. You think this ***** some kinda cat? This is just wrong in so many ways.

    We shall see in the rematch. It’s happening and there is nothing you can do about it. So stop your fake concern.

    Would be somewhat ironic if Spence ends Crawford in the rematch.

    I want Spence to win because Crawford gets on my nerves, but he's not good enough, never has been , never will be, for such a highly rated fighter his resume is poor and he's never really passed the eye test for me. Crawford will embarrass him again

    On paper this is a fight that perhaps should've been much closer than it was... Crawford had the better resume going in, but Spence was strongly fancied too.

    Whilst it was a very clear win on the night, boxers are human and they can and do have off nights.

    If it weren't for the fact Crawford is/was moving up, it'd still be a decent fight on paper... If it were to happen at a higher weight it could be interesting to see how that affects both men.

    I'm not the biggest fan of rematches at the best of times, but I've seen much more pointless rematches happen than this.

    Nah Bud should stipulate it be at 154 that's a boss move, show he can smash him to pieces even at a higher weight.

    Yeah well at least Errol gets a chance for retribution, unlike many fighters who get screwed up without ever even getting their shot back due to politics.
