    I'm jealous. I can't find anybody who cares about boxing anymore. I watch everything solo.

    Same here

    No work colleagues, no friends, no family into boxing. I got into a chat with someone at work the other day who said he was into boxing, first thing he brought up was how Fury is going to struggle with Ngannou!

    There are a number of reasons.

    They don't fight often. Spence fought roughly once a year for the last 5 years. Crawford has fought once a year in the last few years. How do you get a following when you don't fight often?

    Neither guy is a big name and neither have much of a social media presence.

    Don't blame the casuals when they don't even know who these guys are.

    Agree, they're not active enough fighting in a shallower division compared to a decade ago.

    Of course you gotta support your local fighter!

    I'm hyped for this, Crawford looks even meaner than usual from the last press conference, let's go!

    Crawford looks a little nervous.

    I didn't like that shouting back and forth he had with some Spence entourage, but otherwise he looks focused.

    Let's be real. Neither has a HUGE fan base and the both fighters are relatively in-active.. Spence havent fought in a year. Crawford fight's once a year. Also the obvious, Bud getting old and Spence's antics outside the rings has damaged him.

    Don't get me wrong.. who really knows what we're going to get. To both's credit, they both look very motivated.
