Seen Spence a few times on TV at other people's fights ringside where he's looked drunk, seen him get in the ring once to confront another boxer where he looked drunk. The car crash he was drunk. All of this catches up with you but it's his fault he could have killed people behind the wheel. Dedication and discipline is part of boxing.
Ryan Garcia finally understanding the level difference, throwing sloppy shots in attempt to score a Hail Mary knockout against Gervonta Davis; Anthony Joshua smiling like a cretin after getting dropped and humbled by Andy Ruiz; Savannah Marshall breaking mentally in a division defining fight and rushing her work amateurishly. Combine all of them and you get to the level of Errol Spence looking completely off-balance, defeated, and clueless.
They were both at the top of there game. Spence on the back of two good wins following his well documented accident and even if Crawford is 35 that was the best he's ever looked.... so not past his prime whatsoever lol People didn't mention anyone looking drained at the weigh in because they made championship weight behind closed doors and then had a few hours to hydrate before coming out to the public weigh in.
The definition of stupid in my opinion is arm chair critics like you who determine what shape someone was in based on their performance, with no way of knowing. Can you at least agree that Spence was the A side. He called the shots. If he said 154, no way Crawford is saying no. Just sat on your arm chair finding holes in anything. 99% of good wins you could make an excuse as to why. Why not just say well done to Crawford for battering Spence and taking his zero.
Spence has been walking on egg shells since the crash. The least he could’ve done for his health is move up right after it.
Spence 2 and a half years younger at a weight where he's always looked big and strong... right until the point he meets someone much better than him.
He looked prime all the way until the first knockdown and then the effects of the car wreck, weight draining and pre-fight sex kicked in.
I think the issue here is that you're mad asf that the world put Crawford as number 1 over Inoue. It's not that big a deal bra, Inoue is a close 2nd.
Yes. Only change pre and post car crash is he doesn’t just lumber through punches with a smile like he used to before the crash, Peterson and Porter for example. He tries to be more defensive now, which is a little awkward for him, but otherwise, the same fighter. Peak however? Maybe not. Peak Spence was vs Brook. After Brook he got less agile, he actually reverted a bit to his more mobile style vs Danny Garcia, but Brook fight had the best blend of speed, agility and strength. I’m sure he’ll be better at 154. But he’s not the shot or dead fighter people act like he was. Crawford just really exposed him with his jab.
