    Good for him. Whether he did it of his own accord or someone talked him into doing it, this was the smart thing to do. Had he taken the rematch, idk, Crawford might've put him in a coma.

    Smart move, Errol. Retire, or move up and fight guys you might be able to defeat.

    Didn't have a choice

    Only a crackhead sporting body would sanction this man to fight again.

    Only thing left for Spence in boxing is money, if he can't make use of the money he has now then he's a failed human being and will find himself on skid row shortly.

    That was the best option for everyone, Spence, Crawford and the boxing fans.

    That does free Crawford up to do what he wants. Hopefully, it is Ennis or Tszyu.

    I think he just needs time off. Let the body heal and then see if the fire is still there.
    If he wants to come back it should be a series of tuneups before a step up.

    Unfortunately PBC won´t let him take a few quick tuneups. They will end up matching him somewhat though and if Spence is on the verge of retirement, it will show.

    Man, idk how much time he has left. He looks completely broken. Even a tune up might do him in if the opponent is hungry enough.

    Quite sad as it shows that Spence may be struggling physically and mentally.

    He was really a fantastic fighter in his prime and hopefully we can see more from him.

    Good. I gave Spence credit for holding many rounds against Bud.


    Bud can now destroy AUS hypejob

    Good move by Spence. He needs to think about his health and where he's at mentally.

    Smart decision. No need to get a second beating and risking his health. Better for him to move on.

    This version of Spence can't beat Crawford. I'd like to see him retire tbh.

    1. Retire
    2. Announce comeback a year or two later
    3. Fight a few tomato cans
    4. Call out Crawford
    5. Crawford says lol
    6. Spence says he duckin' me!
    7. The end.
