Spence vs. Crawford

Told ya`ll. Crawford too versatile. Too many answers. Now he added a power jab to his tool box. Game over. He could do a Boots Ennis fight but Ennis would likely get wrecked. Super talented but just nowhere near this level. Other than that not sure there is much for Bud at WW. Can go to Jr MW and become undisputed there. As far as a rematch i see absolutely no reason why there would be a different result from the one we got tonight.
 
That jab and left from bud was tearing Spence up, Spence show some toughness cause some of them shots were clean and perfectly timed

I knew he was better and knew he would win but wasn't expecting a destruction from the 2nd round on. He blew up Spence's face by the second round and Spence was breathing through his mouth and confused.

Obviously I wish it was a true battle but I loved the fight. It was a true masterclass by Bud, Spence showed heart staying upright that last round and the ref was great in his stoppage. There shouldn't be a rematch. Bud would whoop his ass 10/10.

Bud is an all-time great. Maybe not what everyone was looking for but still a great night of boxing.
 
Man…That P4P top spot is a tough call. Either way, Inoue and TBud are by far the too 2 IMO. Amazing work from Crawford. I genuinely don’t know if I underestimated him or overestimated Spence. Wow.

What Inoue and Crawford just did, with the domination they showed there is no question they are 1-2 or 1A-1B. Errol Spence is a top 10 P4P fighter in his prime and Cool Boy Steph Fulton is also in his prime and knocking on the door of top 10 P4P status. I did not think Inoue's performance could be topped, but what Bud did I think is slightly more impressive.

I have to be honest. Although ive said for a long time that Bud would win and it wouldnt be close i never dreamed it would be the absolute beat down it was. I was shocked it was absolutely no contest.
 
They both had a rematch clause, but i won't pay for that a 2nd time. Question is who is next for bud? Keith Thurman? Jaron Ennis? Can he go up to 154 or is 147 his top weight? He is 35. I'm glad to see him get his due. The PBC guys all said he was too small for 147. Last night was an all time performance.

No, its not tough at all. Inoue just beat a top 15ish p4p fighter which was impressive and worthy of the praise hes getting but Crawford just utterly destroyed a top 5 p4p who many argued could be #1. Crawford is CLEARLY the #1 and Inoue the clear #2.

It’s a P4P ranking. Inoue is a champ in 4 weight classes, that’s kinda the basis of P4P. And you mention how TBud utterly destroyed Spence, which is an on point description, but you say Inoue “beat” Fulton. Inoue utterly destroyed Fulton as well. The fights were very similar. Domination from the start and a finish. I think it’s 1a 1b, fine if you don’t.

Keith isnt going anywhere near Bud and Ennis would get smoked. Super talented just not enough experience. He`ll have his time to rule the division after Bud is gone which is likely to be soon. I think the easy answer wouldve been move up to fight Jermell for undisputed but hes fighting Canelo and after he gets beat up and likely KOd by Canelo he may not want to come back down in weight to get bludgeoned by Bud so he may hold off on that fight till 2025 if at all. Im honestly not sure where he goes but he holds all the cards at WW if he wants to stay there for another year which may be his best bet. As far as rematch i think Spence will come to his senses and move on.

Hate to say it, but Bud is in a weird spot where it’s between dominating lesser competition & preserving his record or risking it to unnecessary risk and goin up in weight

Yes he destroyed Fulton but not to the level that Spence got beat down and Fulton is not on the level of Spence as far as P4P. That was my point. Its like a college basketball team already ranked #1 beating the #4 team by 30 and the #2 team beats the #15 team by 25. Both great but the #1 would hold their spot. I get youre not a Crawford fan but he is the clear man right now.

Buds a real fighter. Hes about legacy and wants to be among the greats and to be there you have to risk and dare to be great something that Floyd never did.

It was like, almost precisely the same type of beatdown. Both Spence and Fulton won 1 round. I get the quality of opponent thing, but Inoue moved way up to fight him. TBud is at home at welterweight for over 5 years. Weight class changes tend make things more impressive.

He got paid for this fight, but he was being underpaid for years. This was the source of his beef with Bob Arum. He saw what the PBC guys were getting and couldn't understand why his promoter couldn't get him similar numbers. At 35 I'm sure he wants to maximize his earning window. If there are no other money fights out there, and Spence wants to really run it back, i don't know how he says no to the money.

Bud is undisputed in two weight classes. First man to do it in 35 years in the multi belt era. The list of fighters that couldnt do it including the great Mayweather make that accomplishment special. More special than beating a guy a weight class up.

I’m not diminishing Bud, you’re diminishing Inoue.

Both are great, but Fulton wasn't on any P4P lists. Spence was, and Bud surgically took him apart.

The really light weight class fighters are rarely represented on P4P lists, that’s why Inoue is so impressive.

This is going to be a methodical, disciplined, patient, professional beat down of a great champion named Crawford from another great Champion named Errol Spence. Crawford will not be able to dance the whole fight. I'm a fan of both of these brothas but gotta go with the DFW kid on this. Ask Floyd Mayweather about Errol Spence.
Expand ...
Something was wrong with Errol. I don't know exactly what it is but clearly something is. It was the best Crawford has ever looked and the worst Spence has ever looked. He had nothing in the beginning. There was no pop with his punch, no other gears, no foundational balance and it was like he could not see punches from certain angles and became a risk to himself.

That doesn't take away from the masterclass put on by Crawford and his team. He was the bigger, stronger, quicker, more disciplined fighter on Saturday night. Errol's team knows what's going on and put his life and career in jeopardy. A Payday is not worth his life. Prayers for Spence and his family. This was difficult watch and I'm a fan of both of those fighters.

If Errol Spence is not absolutely 100% from the neck down and neck up for his next fight then he should hang it up with his head high.
