    What was shocking is that Crawford was physically stronger than Spence, shockingly stronger. That combined with the speed advantage made the fight what it was. Someone said Spence was exposed, no he wasn't, he just lost to someone superior. That ain't being exposed. I'm not shocked about Crawford winning, I am shocked he stopped him.

    I thought Spence would win a decision but my God that performance by Crawford was legendary.

    Good for you, mate. Don't bother if there's a rematch though. The odds will be ridiculously low.


    Stick a few quid on the lottery instead. The odds are better.

    This was as impressive as it gets really, Crawford just seemed to have an answer for everything Spence did and hurt him whenever he landed.
    Spence should just move up rather than invoking the rematch clause & taking another sustained beating.

    No point in Spence moving up to 154 as Charlo his stablemate has all the belts. If he can get a Crawford rematch at 154 then fair enough but at this point it makes more sense for Crawford to go to 154 and take out Charlo for three weight undisputed. They already hate each other so makes a great PPV

    I wouldn't be shock if he did rematch right away. Spence to prideful to let this go.

    Hard to watch.

    edit: not the knockout, that was beautiful. I meant the now deleted video of Errol’s post fight interview

    Crawford didn't even need to move out of second gear or dig deep to outclass him FFS. People should've listened when I told them them Spence was chinny and his record was full of featherfists and career 140 pounders and blown up 135 Mikey.

    As they should when I told them there was a reason why he looked great beating up those naturally smaller guys where his size, strength, physicality and power were huge assets for him but struggled badly against the only two career 147 pounder world champions he fought.

    Brook was damaged goods but he was more than holding his own until his orbital socket got broken and it's not a coincidence it started swelling up after a hard head clash in round 8. And Porter arguably beat him and Spence was pulling ouch that hurt faces everytime he got caught clean despite Porter not being a puncher.

    Like I said, how can a one weight champ who has never proven they can put in a dominant performance against a career world champion their own size and has fought so few punchers, let alone ones bigger or much bigger, be rated P4P over fighters who've not only done that many times but have done so many times against ones bigger, way bigger many times at 2, 3 or 4 weights and have fought loads of big punchers and many huge punchers bigger or way bigger than them?

    Many had Spence ranked above Usyk for goodness sake including credible outlets like ESPN and CBS. Usyk would toy with him like he was a club fighter if Spence had 20 pounds on him, let alone if they were the same size.

    Spence has fought one career 147 world pounder champion since winning his first world title against the only other one he's fought six years ago. He was on mission clean out 147 of all its career 140s and 135 Mikey and featherfists instead of defending against the power punching young lions like Boots, Ortiz, and Stan.

    People laughed at me when I told them Keithy would hurt him and not to be surprised if he knocked him out.

    Crawford's an excellent fighter and he was always a natural 147 pounder but that fight and performance by Spence was such an anticlimax. They were hyping it up like it was SRL vs Hearns but Spence is barely a P4P talent never mind top 5 :facepalm:
