I Don't See How Any Real Boxing Fan Can Not Like Spence

[Code Red]

I always rooted for him because of the body punching, he is one of the few bringing that high caliber body work of old. And since he was one of the "chosen" guys I wanted him to succeed because he would have more entertaining top level fights than what Floyd was leaving us with at the tail end.

I went to most Floyd fight weekend; and a lot of the time on the trip back we would talk about all types of things: how much money we spent, how drunk we got, how fun the parties were, the women...everything except for the damn fight we just watched. Not a dig at Floyd just to say that when I was projecting out Spence's career, I was thinking that would be a nice change to have his style fighting in marquee fights. I hoped the casual people would also get to see those fights that build to a crescendo and that's what Spence's style can bring. He came around at the right time I thought - there was too much credence to the "hit and not get hit" mentality and that's only one philosophy of many


BUT...gooood damn it has taken a long time. Way longer than I would have expected and he's nearly blew it all after being handed to him. All handed to him and he almost fumbled big time, really not sure what to think about that. There's some entitlement that has revealed itself imo

But I still like him - and after the Ugas fight it's looks like he's really "back" (even though I'm questioning his durability)...but he's strong enough to make those fights we want. Really glad he is still around. Pretty sure we've all had a favorite fighter have to retire or die suddenly - it's impossible to fill those void so I'm glad boxing still has hiim

I root for him, but not against TC. He's getting thrashed in that fight

When I first heard about that accident I was legitimately scared, concerned, and worried. I'm glad he pulled through, even more happy no one else was involved in the accident or in the car with him. He/we lucked out, we could have been wondering what could have been but fortunately we can still witness something great in the ring involving Spence. Either way he or Crawford got a lot to gain from this fight. However if and when they fight what do they do next, what fight would generate the same interest, it may be all downhill after that.

One of the best out there right now for sure. I always like watching him break his opponents down.

I have signatures turned off but If you check my signature. I've had that since seeing him in the olympics.

Spence is THAT dude.

And he's going to beat Crawford.

Dude hits like a mule and it doesn't waver. It's the same from round 1 to round 12. Putting holes in people's defense. He stays right in the danger zone; right within range the entire fight. Which, if you've boxed before, puts a heightened level of pressure on a fight for both fighters. But Spence doesn't care. Dude just stands there, mercilessly, throwing leather but with an air-tight game. Defense, fundamentals, footwork. He's not a Margarito, he doesn't get into slug fest, but he stays right there, like GGG but with more athleticism.

I think Spence is fantastic, I never miss one of his fights. I also think Crawford is fantastic and I never miss one of fights. I can't wait for their fight against each other but if I favour Crawford to win don't take that as hatred for Errol Spence.

If I say Spence has been avoiding fighting Crawford plz don't take that as hate because he had admitted it himself, he was going the easy route and saving Crawford till last. If I don't agree that Spence is a mega star that rivals Canelo as the face of the sport please don't take it as hate it is just an opinion based on numbers.

What BS did he say, I remember he said he wanted to unify WW and has systematically ticked everyone off the list the last one is TC and he is pursuing him next, there was no chance the fight could happen while Arum was pulling the strings, from what I can see he has done what he said he would do.

You read what I posted. He said that BEFORE the whole unification talk....."he needs a belt 1st"
