This. He's been a lucky boy, but a pedestrian or other driver in front of his car might not have been. My mam, a career alcoholic, crashed her car once and it was a miracle she only got bruises, but there could have been a troop of scouts in front of her when she did it and they'd have been smeared all over the road. The punishment isn't because you nearly killed yourself, it's because you could have killed others. No sympathy whatsoever for drunk drivers, I'd make the penalty a lifetime ban. That said, I really hope his boxing career isn't over because of this. I'm not a big fan but he's a super boxer.
disheartening to think he might not fight again, but may of learned a lesson to not go ragging Ferrari's around and not wear a seat belt, then go bragging about it on social media
I won't believe it till i see it, but if it's true i don't really feel bad for him, he was acting like a danned fool and could have killed someone. Its too damn bad for Crawford, he'll be missing out on big opportunity to solid hid greatness.
So you can’t imagine why getting drunk and driving at that speed is not deemed serious?Perhaps the only thing that would of made it any more serious would of been loss of life to him or someone else.
I hope he recovers. I saw that crash as we all did and for him to be ejected and be fine sounded too good to be true. But maybe he is ok. The ejected part I thought about over and over. Did he just fly out at the end of the car spinning and land on some soft grass? His teeth were damaged but nothing else? That was a heck of a crash. I was hit in 1996 by a guy who dropped his cell phone right before the red light, which I was sitting at. He reached down to pick up his phone and he hit my car going about 35 mph with me sitting at the light behind other cars. Ruined the small car I was in and pushing my car into the car in front crumpling the hood. The whole back of the car I was in was crushed to the back window, and the top had started to fold. His car was an SUV so it only had the license plate off of it. Believe it or not. My knees bleeding, yet not much else. Then the next day I could not get out of bed without crawling. My muscles were swollen especially in the front of my neck. To this day I cannot bend my neck properly and it has to do with that. And that was not close to what Spence went though. But he is lucky. He can walk and he will live. Boxing is not everything. It means a lot money wise, but not everything. I hope the rumors of him not fighting again are just rumors. I hope he fights again and resumes his career. I hope he stops drinking.
i agree. and i was on the sharp end of that spear. nobody should have to worry that they are are on the road with someone wielding thousands of pounds of steel irresponsibly, every time they run out to the store..
Didnt Spence make a cryptic tweet the other day? He tweeted "I give up" and then it was taken down I believe. If it is the case that he'll never fight again it is a very sad day for boxing fans.
The injury does seem more serious than the initial reports. There has been no updates since the original news coverage. No pictures, not videos, no social media posts... nothing. Nothing has been leaked by anyone. We don't even know what Spence look these days. His face could really be ****ed up. I wouldn't be surprised if his career is over.
