Did Spence underestimate Crawford or did Crawford have a better game plan?

Spence had no game plan and zero rong IQ

 

He tried to box with the boxer.

 

Spence had no idea how to use, avoid, contend with Buds jab!!! Un****ingbelieveable for a world class fighter.

 

Crawford is just that good…it’s really that simple

 

You know something, that is what blew me away. Don't most great fighters now how to keep their jab throughout the fight (GGG, Hagler, Hearns).

 

Unlike GGG, Spence is basically a bigger version of Porter with better fundamentals, not as strong of a chin, and slightly better power, but less relentless. What made pressure fighters like Hagler, GGG, Monzon, and Mike McCallum so great was their ability to be more than just Basic when it comes to the fundamentals. Let me explain further:

GGG: GGG has tremendous footwork with tremendous balance (something Spence lacks). When GGG cuts off the ring, he doesn't do it in a straight line, he creates angles to make you uncomfortable and to make him less predictable. You can try to take away GGGs jab but GGG is going to keep firing that jab regardless of what you do (we saw this with Canelo, Jacobs, and Derv). GGG also has one the greatest chins in boxing history (if not the greatest).

Hagler:
Hanger is arguably the greatest switch hitter and the dude had tremendous defense on the inside and chin. He was disciplined and he could fight at all ranges (something Spence lacks).

MIke McCalum: Mike is basically Spence 2.0 with better defense and counters. I do not need to explain anymore.

Monzon:
Monzon was a crazy SOB who had the perfect blend of skill, ferociousness, chin, and power. Once he got on the inside, he will tear your body up and counter while you were countering.

I could go on but Spence was never taught the importance of defense, keeping your head off the centerline, and keeping a consistent jab regardless of the situation. I wanted Spence to be something that he's not and for that, I paid the cost. Crawford is in the class of Hearns, Floyd, Leonard, Manny, Duran and Pernell. Spence is in the class of Benitez, Mosley, Oscar, Tito, and Vernon.

 

Crawford is just better.

There is a 30 day windows for the rematch Let see if family and his team talk sense into him. I personally dont see a different outcome at 154.

 

You right, and he didn't have a plan B. He should have sharpened up his boxing game because he can box. He thought that he would overwhelm Crawford with strength and aggressiveness. He should have been concentrating on making Crawford miss and them making him pay, Crawford read him just right.
