    Spence looked at his best against Ugas, i feel like that was the most complete he's ever been. But that was against an opponent who couldn't find the next gear. Bud
    Man, Spence looked like the full package against Ugas. Probably the best and most complete version, looked like a damn machine in there. But Crawford likes to fight and Spence speed is gonna become very relevant against Crawford who will have timed after a few rounds.

    Spence is going to be much better and sharper againstBud having shaken off the rust against Ugas. I am starting to feel sorry for Bud because he won’t be able to deal with what is coming.

    I don't think Bud is one to feel sorry for. Bud may lose some early rounds, even look down through the first couple rounds. But that's him using his brain and making adjustments, he's a true fighter and will figure out what works during the fight. I'm sure Spence will try to take the fight to Crawford, but he's gonna leave himself open for a lot of counter in doing so.

    Spence is defensively responsible and he will damage Crawford whose best hope of winning which won’t work and goes against character is to get on his bike and try and pick and poke his way to victory. Bud will want to have it out with Spence and he will get clipped. His attempts to make adjustments will hurt him in this fight. Spence is a multidimensional fighter with variety who has several ways to win a fight.

    Not a millennial! Just got to deal with many dummy's. You, obviously, are not in that category. Did not get your sarcasm.

    Won’t go that far but this fight is this generation’s version of crowning the premier WW of this era.. In the end that’s all that matters and I would compare it more to Curry vs McCory or Cotto vs Margarito.. Boxing diehards have been clamoring for this one and it’s just a tad bit below the mainstream to be compared commercially to Tito vs DLH or even SRL vs Hearns..

    They’re both already past their prime. The fight already is past its best.

    Dons downfall was getting involved with Muhammed & Leonard. He'd been with Dave Gorman since he was a peewee. Don wanted to turn pro to earn $$$ to pay for college. His first love was baseball & that was a way in.
    Don was the real reason Dave Gorman ever turned pro himself. To look after him..
    Muhammed & Leonard with all the talk of fast cars fast women & easy $$$$ were the real reason his career was shortened. I remember Don's trainer Paul Reyes saying about a young Curry "I swear that kid has radar he knows what punch is coming before the guy throwing it"

    Nah as much as I hated SRL and loved Curry the markets won’t buy that. It saddens me till today Curry was the perfect fighter for a painfully short period.
