    How much of Spence’s loss should be out on Derrick James? should The Truth stick with him going forwards

    They've worked well together, but James and Spence Sr. messed up big time by letting a corpse go into the fight.

    James had nothing to do with the loss. Spence could’ve had 10 hof trainers in his corner and still would’ve been ko’d by Bud.

    James could have got Spence out of there much earlier, it was obvious he had no chance of coming back & winning the fight. It was hard to watch & must have been much worse for Spence on the receiving end

    There was a really good skit at the end of the American live broadcast of the fight.

    They showed clips of BoMac instructing Bud, and how their tactics evolved through the fight, then Bud going out and executing his instructions.

    Stark contrast to Derrick James’s one dimensional approach
