July 9, 20232 yr Extremely dominating performance by Ennis. He did take a few shots though, and that could be a concern. He dictated pretty much everything and was brutal with the fight’s ending. It’s time for a much bigger fight.
July 23, 20232 yr In a couple weeks it's the Jake Paul v Nate Diaz fight. I think this is getting ridiculous.
July 23, 20232 yr Author yeah who gives a fuck about that, we're 6 days away from the crawford/spence fight.

I just hate that side-show shit that the Paul kid brings to everything. He takes up so much of the attention, and oxygen, from real professionals.
July 28, 20232 yr Excited for this Saturday. Spence vs. Crawford is the biggest fights in years, in a year full of great fights. Boxing has had a solid post-covid turn imo, and has me excited to be a boxing fan again for the first time in a decade or so. UFC kinda took my attention, and I'm still very excited about that card this Saturday, but my highlight of the night will be Bud and Errol showing off high-level boxing.
July 29, 20232 yr Author who is everyone taking? i think it will be close, but i think bud is still close enough to his prime that he'll end up taking it. a year or two from now i doubt that would be the case. bud does typically start slow and give away a few rounds though. not a big deal when you can end up stopping your opponent, but it could prove fatal if you fight a guy you can't stop and it goes to the cards.

First fight in a while that I'm rooting for both men. Spence has a superjab but Buds iq can be the difference. One thing for sure is I can't wait!
July 30, 20232 yr It's finally time. I legit don't know who is going to take this one. Popcorn. Is. Ready.
July 30, 20232 yr Spence is getting worked like a cheap hooker. I know he's from Dallas but the only thing separating him from Henry Ruggs is he got lucky he didn't murder innocent people with his reckless bullshit like Ruggs did. So fuck Spence
July 30, 20232 yr Pound for pound I can't imagine anyone having a more stiff jab than Crawford. That's a power punch for him.
July 30, 20232 yr Honestly, something looked wrong with Spence before he even got in the ring. Dude looked baked as fuck. He's just getting annihilated. Damn.
July 30, 20232 yr That was the right call. Not too soon, but the ref didn't let it keep going where Spence was really going to get permanently damaged.
July 30, 20232 yr That was savage. Crawford took the 8th off knowing he could put him away at any time.

July 30, 20232 yr Bud put on a fucking clinic. Don't know if that was anywhere near the best Spence out there, though. Dude seemed off from the jump. Who the fuck is Bud going to fight now, though? There's no one at Welter. Does he move up? Fight one of the Charlos?

July 30, 20232 yr Spence ended up being a paper tiger but finally boxing delivered a top level fight at the right time. More of that.

Would be awesome but Canelo is just too big so wouldn't be something that could happen.
July 30, 20232 yr Throwing lunging jabs to the body where you leave your eyes down and your head wide open, turned out to not be a very good strategy.
July 30, 20232 yr Spence is going to take the rematch out of pride but deep down I don't think he wants to. Edited July 30, 20232 yr by Hermanator
July 30, 20232 yr Spence just doesn’t have the power to compete with Crawford. He can’t really hurt Bud with anything
July 30, 20232 yr The preparation for this fight by Bud is all time great for any sport. Easiest way to take away somebody's jab is to throw a jab. Wow! Spence had an amazing game plan. All prefight we heard was how spence had the greatest jab of any boxer in the sport. Crawfords jab was beautiful. That jab dictated the whole fight and allowed him to do what he does best counter. I can't describe how impressive this win is. Wow! That man deserves all the praise.

I felt like this fight was over somewhere in the 4th-5th round when it became clear that Bud was better than Spence on the inside too. Errol has a pretty rigid style and not many counter-attacks to work with (which was said by a few better boxing brains than me before the fight), and it made the difference. He tries to smother his opponents but Bud was hurting him with short shots on the inside too and Spence would have to reset and get space again. Crawford is a damn bully in the ring, his style just doesn't make him seem like it. Great night. We got to witness greatness, wish the fight was better but damn it's hard not to be ecstatic over witnessing a coronation of an ATG.
July 30, 20232 yr Author man what an incredible performance. i have long though that crawford was the best p4p guy in the sport, but even i am in awe of that performance from last night. just a complete and total antihalation pretty much from the get go. he is so far and above everyone else at 147 that there is no one else for him to even fight.
