    This was a very satisfying fight for me. I will never be able to recapture the satisfaction I had when it was happening in real time. But it's still an incredible fight and Crawford beat his ass so bad. Spence was never dedicated to the craft like Crawford and there was a lot of smoke and mirrors to Spence's career. None of the PBC guys could handle Crawford.

    Spence was weight drained in that fight so I dont rate that fight very high tbh

    Would have loved to see Crawford vs Thurman.

    "One time" leaves the ring with one tooth and one brain cell left.

    Most satisfying ass-whooping since Maidana/Broner.

    You are satisfied by seeing a car crash victim get his face caved in?

    I remember being in disbelief at the first knockdown. That was supposed to be a really competitive fight with tight odds.
    Something we rarely experience at that level.

    You sure about the "victim" part?

    Wasn't interested in the lead up because spence was clearly past it by many years

    Didn't watch it after seeing the weigh in, totally draino'd. Both might as well have made it at 154 at that point....but no doubt Crawfish's team would not agree to that.

    Another satisfying whoopin was Chavez Jr getting stopped by Fonfara. The Spence fight wasn't satisfying for me. I was hoping for the modern day version of Hearns/Leonard.

    Fantastic performance, though Spence looked a bit frail. He was buzzed in his previous fight. Then there was another stretch of inactivity before Crawford.

    Exactly Spence was driving like a maniac endangering the public he is no victim.

    Outstanding performance by Crawford, Spence was outclassed that night. For me Crawford was one of the best boxers ever and his great friend Stevenson is following in his footsteps.
