Errol 'The Truth' Spence Interview: His Simple Life, His Career, And Love of the Fight Game

[Combat Talk Radio]

Highlights

• One of his favorite historical fights was Hopkins/Trinidad (notable for happening right after 9/11), a very clinical fight where Hopkins was a huge underdog against undefeated lineal champion Trinidad, but would completely outclass Tito in a way that NSB hated.

• Working on a farm is good for him, learning how to work with strong horses that could really hurt you

• He's no longer the person he used to be, preferring to just disappear between fights and only come out when it's time to work

• Says he will fight until he starts getting hurt, however long that takes, but doesn't know when he will retire

• At one point the interviewer says that he is "universally" respected and liked. I figure she's either too young to know or care that krikya360.com / NSB exists, or the site is losing the relevance with the media it once had. Because we all know that Spence is irrationally hated around here.

Thanks for the share, man.

Any media scout that thinks this extremist fan site is relevant to the real world is out of their mind.

I don't disagree, and that's a good word to describe it.

I'm just saying, she says "all fans" so she's either too young to know, too young to care, knows it's not relevant, or she knows that many people here aren't "fans", they're fanatics.

Agree with you. Most people that don’t know who Spence Jr is watch him fight and enjoy it. Then when they hear him speak and see how calm and level-headed he is…they appreciate That as well. How could you not? He’s being true to himself and doesn’t really ever say anything that he doesn’t truly believe.

People that dislike him baffle me. He’s made mistakes but who hasn’t? He isn’t trying to sell anything, he just wants to fight. Reminds me of Hagler.

Didn't mention getting smashed in the club and driving ferraris afterwards.

People who dislike him are just venting frustrations that their guy Terence Crawford is pricing himself out, but they're deflecting it as Spence ducking when "The Troof" is, Spence is the only welterweight right now that's challenging and beating Top 5's back to back.

Yeah out of all the utterly absurd threads I've seen here, that "Errol Spence is the most overrated boxer today" thread or whatever it was, was appalling. Spence has one of the best resumes of the current generation. And some guy in that thread was saying that Spence wasn't even in the top ten P4P....lol

Errol makes fights the people want and doesn’t have a persona

Hard to dislike these kind of fighters
