    A fight contract is a legal negotiation and in this one Errol was given that right to do so. Now because he is an established fighter who is financially well off enough to do as he pleases and not be talked into anything he doesn't want like a tune up or whatnot, he invoked his right. You have to respect that, otherwise nothing in boxing means anything if a contract can't be honored.

    No doubt the promoters hate this because all they care about is "how can we sell this?". At 154 I think Errol will look a LOT better but even if he was drained or whatever, I don't think you get a W coming off an a$$whooping that bad. That was the Hindenburg flying into an oil field kind of bad.

    You know these guys will go for the biggest money fights at this stage. They won’t fight Boots for less money and more danger.

    Spence can have it again then, no skin off our nose. We've told him for years we're levels above but if he wants another beating that's fine.

    EJ does not do tune ups. He is a real fighter.

    Usyk is older than Crawford and he's not ducking or dodging his mandatory challengers or indeed anyone, Olu, even though they're all very dangerous and way way bigger and heavier than him and all very big or absolutely savage punchers, something Crawford doesn't know anything about in a 40 fight career.

    Obviously we all know that Yellow Belly is ducking him like crazy but Usyk is willing to oblige his mandatory challengers.

    Crawford vs Super Boots is one of the most intriguing fights in boxing and Crawford said before he beat Spence that he rates Super Boots highly, has done so since the amateurs, that he sees a lot of himself in him and that he deserves his shot. But then after he beat Spence he changed his tune and started acting all ducky. If he is going to pull the duck like I predicted he would but had given the benefit of the doubt because he's a dog he has to vacate and own his duck.

    He might be a real fighter but taking a confidence regaining tune up after a bad beating and stoppage loss doesn't not make you a real fighter. It makes you a smart one.

    Why would I cry? I like both guys. I don't pick sides based on promoters like a dumb fanboy would...

    Hopefully he fails the physical and is forced to retire. His accident did irreparable damage and is progressively degrading and deteriorating more and more by the year. To continue to incur head trauma, posing not only a threat to his long term health but to his life itself. Spence seems like a good guy and I have no desire to see him become a vegetable or possibly worse, so hopefully some higher ups get involved and squash it by any means necessary.

    147? 154?

    Doesn't matter. Spence is getting outclassed again.

    Youre in his team now then Olu ? Since when?? ROFL No matter what Errol says himself , but his trainer & team MUST insist on him having a complete examination. both physical & neurological before ever allowing him to get in the ring again. Something was VERY wrong with him that was not a !00% Errol in there. PLUS he was meeting a man who really deserves the name The Cold Eyed Assassin who destroyed him.
    Your " Lets go baby" BS is fine when its not you yourself in there isn't it.
    Man I'd love to be able to talk to Curtis I know he would agree 100% with making sure Errol is OK BEFORE anything else. I hope that Derrick thinks the same way.
