Was Spence's Inactivity a Factor in his Poor Performance?

That and the hellacious toll of savage weight cuts finally caught up to him.

 

Wow I didn’t even realise the lack of activity on Spences behalf.

This is not to mention Spence looking drained and past his best the past 3 years.

This was just an opportune time to take on Spence, Crawford timed him right in that respect.

Now people are saying he’d beat a prime Pac . Lol sure

 

Spence priced himself out multiple times

Crawford didn't time a damn thing except those knockdowns

 

No. I’d understand if it was ring rust or his timing was off, but it wasn’t that. Spence’s weaknesses have been the same. Bud just had the speed to take advantage of them.

If you want to blame anything, blame Spence’s handlers for moving him along too quickly. They completely stalled his development from 2014 - 2015 by not matching him with tougher tests, and so his style never evolved from what he’s always been: a terrifically conditioned pressure fighter with a very basic offensive attack. He needed some more durable and defensively sound journeymen to prep him for tough tests, and instead he got decent names with decent records that wouldn’t really teach him anything.

 

The whites of Errols eyes were yellow/gray. Looked sick. Dont think it mattered. He was out thought as much as out fought.

 

Yes it was. Plus spence was never the same after that car accident . He didn't even look that dominant over danny garcia, which should have been a early TKO.

 

Even if he was drained, rusty due to inactivity, compromised by the car accident or whatever other reason he supposedly didn't perform in your eyes the fact is that's his fault. He and his team chose to try and age Crawford out, this fight should have been made years ago.

Spence chose to be inactive, while Crawford fought Avanesyan to stay active, a fight he was criticised for taking by some. But in hindsight seems to have been the right choice.

Spence chose to drink and drive which led to his car crash, while Crawford remained disciplined, stays in the gym year round and focused on the life of a pro boxer, doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, much like Hopkins he's the consummate professional.

Spence chose to remain at 147, chose to drain himself in the belief it benefitted him, chose to make the fight at 147, chose to try and age Crawford out so he'd have an edge and yeah maybe that backfired with the weight becoming an issue. But in the end shouldn't he and his team seen that the weight was becoming an issue and made the fight sooner before he was compromised too much by the weight or simply moved up?
