    He could do a farewell fight against a low level opponent in Dallas in front of his fans, end his career on a high note, but since he wasn't willing to take a tuneup here seems like he'd be OK with calling it a day instead of rebuilding or retiring with a win

    Hope Spence calls it a day. Heart not in it. He's made more than enough money. Even his lawsuit he has with Derrick James. He should win. It was a handshake between them. Derrick saying he is owed more than what he was paid.

    If Spence retires he can be proud to go out on a brave and commendable performance, better to go out like that than a lot of other ways. Tried to come back in a hard test and just fell short. Gracious in defeat.

    Good call Errol! You're a good dude, but sadly, your faculties are not intact.

    Spence has always been class in the ring.

    It's a win for Tim but he's found his level. He's a very basic fighter, very linear, very predictable. He's also got quite a porous defense and can be dropped. He's got good power but at his skill level he needs it to be great, one punch type stuff.

    Game effort from Spence. He hasn't fought in years, has some trouble with his rear leg and is way undergunned at the weight. He seems like a nice bloke.

    THat was more than obvious in the Ugas and Garcia matches. He was a walking cadaver for the Bud match.

    TT plodded his way to a victory over a way faded Spence. He did what he had to do but only a minimum of effort. Like he knew he'd get a check and win without taking on much risk.

    Both guys are past their due by date. TT never put his foot to the pedal and Spence was outclassed, outfought and outweighed.

    TT will get a shot at another belt and both Ortiz or Ennis bear him. Spence should go back to his farm in Red Oak and forget about boxing further.

    Not a bad effort to go out on for Spence.

    Dominated? He won, but it was close against a shot to bits old Spence. I honestly thought Tim had a good chance to stop him. Vergil, Boots or Fundora would have stopped this version of Spence badly. Tim is still relatively young and should be in his prime but we got his fan girls celebrating over a win over a shot to bits post alcoholic, post car crash 36 year old Spence who hasn’t been active for 3 years. Yall pushed for this fight instead of Vergil or Ennis because you know he would have got Fundora’d
