Talk is cheap and Chicken Spence will find a way to NOT fight Crawford this year. He struggled with Ugas and couldn’t knock him out. Doctor stopped it so it’s not like he knocked Ugas out. As much as we all wanna see Spence/Crawford, I assure you it will NOT happen in 2022.
Dude, he broke his orbital bone. That’s a knockout win.
Hey Brian,he spat out his mouth guard when he got hurt in round six, and the referee stopped the fight and the momentum for the other fellow to follow up on.Wrong!!!!
I’ve watched boxing since the Cassius Clay days,tricks like this are nothing new.
In my view Terrence Crawford is the superior boxer/fighter and if the powerbrokers allow this fight to happen Mr Crawford will win
Happy Easter to all
Knockout is counted out
@Arturo you are very clear that you don’t want to see Spence vs Crawford, as much as you want to see Spence lose!! Spence would have smoked Pacroid worse than he did Ugas! Chicken??? You’re a hateful fool calling a fighter who has beaten every single person placed in front of him a !!! It’s more like Pacquiao is the one that retired after the ass whipping Ugas gave him. It also appears that Crawford might have feathers and a beak too since he keeps pricing himself too high! Why didn’t Crawford sign the contract after Spence had the accident???
Chicken Spence was terrified by Pacquiao so he pulled out the fight lol
Non-sense. Spence had an issue with his retina ( which is a very serious issue). David Reid had a detached retina and it hindered his career. Spence is not afraid of Pacquaio. Spence got his mouthpiece knocked out his mouth, but, he followed the rules of not fighting without his mouthpiece and got caught. Spence admitted it was a rookie mistake. Spence beat an incredible opponent who retired Pacquaio after taking the fight on 2 weeks noticed. Spence vs Crawford is a toss up. Each have their advantages and disadvantages.
Spence will destroy Crawford
Actually I think Spence has the size and style to beat Crawford. Walk Crawford down behind a jab, trap him, dig to the body, and force him to fight in close as opposed to letting Crawford just sit back and counter with those long arms. Crawford makes a lot of mistakes, he’s not unbeatable by any means. Truth be told he hasn’t fought great competition either. I think this is 50 / 50 fight and I’m leaning towards Spence. the key is not letting Crawford fight at his distance.
The mouthpiece/stun in rd 6 is being way over thought.
Ugas did stun Spence and knocked his mouthpiece out. Good clean shots that knocked Spence off balance and into the ropes. Then Ugas stood there. Still. Didn’t rush in because he knew, and Spence knew that Spence was as much off balance as anything.
Yes they were clean shots. Yes they stung Spence. But Spence was not in Serious trouble. The fact that Ugas didn’t go in for the kill tells you this much.
congrats to Spence, but what I noticed and don’t like in the last three fights he has.. he hits below the belt and keeps getting away with it.. in addition last night the referee helped him.. you can see he was on Spences side.. it was obvious.. he warned Spence twice to bring up his punches.. but did nothing .. and so Spence… kept doing it..
Spence won fair and square, and become a much better all around fighter. A few years ago I would’ve favoured Crawford to win against Spence but no more today, because Spence is much more bigger stronger and powerful. Spence could easily fight at junior Middleweight or Middleweight now.. I’m less interested in this fight because of that..
Peace, love and knockouts from France !
