Comments Thread For: Spence: I'm Willing To Put Everything on The Line To Beat Crawford

[Joe Beamish]

Spence is definitely putting it all on the line - I wouldn't have begrudged him at all for retiring after the accident and especially after the eye issue. I have a ton of respect for him for coming back like he did - he probably deserves more credit if not for the (warranted) stigma around DUI, it's looked at as self-inflicted.

But I believe he is damaged fighter right now so just by showing up I have the upmost respect - he is a crazy Mfer, he is hardcore. If the vision is really compromised, is this something like Trinidad v David Reid. Not in styles of each fighter, but where you have a top finisher against a talented damaged guy.. I think so, but we will see.

Seems like Spence is also a boxing fan, sometimes he speaks like one (for example telling TC he beat a "one legged Benavidez" - that sounds exactly like what a NSB degen would say lol).. But as fan, responding to fans, I think he wanted to make sure this fight finally happened.

"I'm on borrowed time" he once said

War Spence
War TC

Good point about Spence being a big boxing fan. Crawford has said he doesn’t watch old fights, which to me adds to his super boring personality.

This doesn’t, however, change the fact that I think Crawford will win the first fight.
