    If you're not fit to fight, don't fight. Don't use excuses to justify losses.

    They would have never allowed a Hispanic or white person to fight in that type of condition

    Spence was inactive he had one fight more than a year ago and the one fight in 26 months. You really think boiling down to 147 from 170 is going to wreck the system being that inactive.

    Guy clearly drained and rusty come on bro

    Answer one simple question, which I suspect you’ll ignore or spin -

    Is Spence having one fight in 2 and half years , being over a year ago, being active?

    Both Spence and Crawford looked drained at the weight in.
    But I think weight cut affected Sopence much more.
    He has been at welterweight for over 12 years.

    Spence should have moved up to 154 after the car accident in 2019.
    It was a mistake to stay at welterweight.

    Very interesting video!

    Very true. No Hispanic or white boxer has ever had pugilistic dementia.
    Jerry Quarry and Wilfredo Benitez beg to differ.

    He probably did(does) have brain damage. His speech is slurred, that accident was insane, and his style doesn't exactly make for a long career typically.

    Still a fantastic win for Crawford, boxers always go into fights with something wrong.

    Spence said it best, "I don't make any excuses, the better man won tonight."

    All fighters have excuses. Maybe right after the fight they will be humble and hug their conqueror, but within a few days the excuses start. It was apparent long before the fight that Crawford was better, which is why so many people picked him. I don’t care about weight cuts, accidents, injuries, bad trainers, poor management, or anything else. If you lose controversially that’s one thing, but if someone beats the bloody hell out of you, you and your fans should STFU.

    He didn't use this excuse this is just an observation from a professional
