FLEX OF THE YEAR " 23 YRS IN THE GAME HAVENT BEEN CUT ONCE"

[@willking4825]

I’m a Spence fan. But Tarver is 1000% percent right. Spence was not prepared by his team. Bud was the more talented fighter coming into the fight. So Spence and his team needed everything to be on point. Bomac and them boys had the more naturally gifted fighter more prepared and we saw the end result.

[@DeanDangerousTDD7]

TTerence BUD Crawford has been & is still Pound for Pound !!!! People were hate'n on BUD over boxing politics. SMH I wonder what they are going to say now. I said it over & over again. Don't call it an upset when Terence BUD Crawford beats Errol Spence Jr. What a fight!!!! Much respect to both of these warriors!!!! & I'm glad that they got to fight while they were both in their prime. Now the people who kept saying that they didnt understand what Crawford fans were saying when we were saying that Crawford has to much DOG in him for Spence. Now maybe those people who were talking all that ish, they know now what we were saying. " The DOG in a FIGHTER don't have to be tested to see the DOG in the FIGHTER " American Intermediary 7/29/23 Terence BUD Crawford has ascended above goat, BUD is the RAM of this boxing ish all day!!!! cORPORATEmAIN$TREAMsPORTSmEDIA had and still have an agenda. They can't stand BUD & The reasons why, they all have to do with. Money, Boxing Politics, & *Then the there is the major #1 Reason why* The #1 major reason why CM$SM don't like BUD is because of the fact that. ((((Terence BUD Crawford is an independent thinker who refuses to forget where he came from. He has day 1 fans that will ride with him regardless of his opposition & regardless of the Main$treamSlander said on the TV & in the world of Social Media. He is also someone who is dominating in BOXING, becoming more & more popular with the Main$tream fans & at the same time, he refuses to allow handlers into his life.

[@amiljahaad6160]

🤣

[@alexc.1112]

Tarver is totally correct on this!!! I kept asking during the fight, what is Spence’s game plan?? It looked like Spence, who I was rooting for, had no real game plan and was not able to make any adjustments during the fight! Spence was too busy putting all them silly tats on his body for no reason and wasn’t really studying his opponent the way he should. I think Spence needs to drop Derrick James like a bad habit and do so immediately! There is not excuse to be that unprepared for such a huge occasion! I hope Spence can bounce back. I believe he will. Congrats to the champ Terrence Bud Crawford!

[@999a0s]

it genuinely seem like Derrick James approach was just gassing up Spence. "he sorry, he can't do nothing with you, you're too big for him champ, do what you do every time, walk him down, pressure bust pipes, man down" and made zero gameplan, just "fight the way you fight every fight". meanwhile Crawford's team was prepped for this fight before it had even been made and had long been dissecting everything about Spence's game and working on it. people say Spence didn't look himself, but the reality is when you're in the ring with someone who has your number...and your credit card number...and your social security number...yeah you end up looking dazed, confused, and feeble in there.

[@jarhead7758]

Derrick James had no answers. I heard him saying “hit him, what are you doing.” It just seems like James thought he was posed to when just because.

[@jarhead7758]

[@imitatorofJesusChrist]

“Bruh!” -Antonio Tarver Honestly, respect to Tarver for telling the truth. He knows boxing. He did it himself. Spence did not look prepared at all for this bout. He didn’t seem like himself. However, Spence has a huge heart of a warrior. He didn’t quit. Derek James has some serious explaining to do for this. W Crawford. Amazing performance. Hope to see them again at 154. Might be a different story. 🤷‍♂️

[@Thermopylae]

Tarver's comment that Bud "knows his way around the ring " was right on; he seems to have that ring-sense of timing and positioning that old-time great fighters used to display instead of just trying to blow out opponents with sheer speed and power.

[@ilikevines]

Crawford has the most complete skill set I can think of…he can bounce on his toes and box off the back foot and front foot, he can switch stance, hits hard, too counterpuncher, great hand speed and defense…

[@shawnjohnson1147]

❤

[@IMold363]

The problem with Spence is that he’s a master of his own style with seemingly little to no training in anything else. That got him this far in todays era of boxing because even though boxing as a science has evolved, training standards and prep has *devolved*. Most fighters prep the same way as Spence. That ain’t no good when going up against diverse fighters like Crawford. Spence’s trainer has to accept some massive responsibility here tonight. In the post-fight conference Spence even admitted his level wasn’t there Edit: Not to detract from Spence! He still beats 99% of fighters at his division

[@richierich291266]

Interesting. Can you say a little more about how boxing as a science has managed to evolve when, at the same time, the quality of training has been devolving.

[@IMold363]

@@richierich291266 sure! Throughout history, boxing has evolved as a science, with fighters adopting new techniques, strategies, and training methods. We can see this evolution in the development of footwork, defensive techniques, and scientific analysis of opponents. However, in recent years in higher weight class divisions, the standard of boxing preparation and training seems to have devolved. Many modern fighters focus on power and aggression rather than mastering the finer aspects of the sport. Proper footwork, defensive maneuvers, and technical precision seem to take a backseat to sheer brute force. This shift in focus can be attributed to the increasing popularity of knockout highlight reels and the desire for instant gratification in today's fast-paced media-driven society. As a result, the true artistry and complexity of boxing are often overlooked in favor of flashy knockouts. On a similar note, in lighter weight classes, because fighters today know how damaging head trauma can be, many play it safe by over-emphasising training in risk-averse and more standardised boxing styles. This leaves fighters today with greater mastery of their own styles, but less variability and scale against more all-round fighters

[@alrikmartin5325]

When Spence was in the amateurs he would go and go and go. The coaches said you have to stop him or he'll burn out. I had a fighter just like that. You have to tell him to go home. He wants to train everyday with no downtime. Spence was overtrained for the fight. Berto said something wasn't right. He was off but he couldn't put his finger on it. I said yeah he's flat because he over did it.

[@1stNumberOne]

Where was this analysis when the fight was announced. I had Crawford winning but: Everyone is a expert after the fight.

[@zakariyaalzadjali4895]

I totally agree with your analysis. Bud is constantly evolving and adding new techniques to his set, while Spence been relaying on his same good fundamentals skills with close to no addition of new weapons. It's a team effort, and Spence seems to have nobody around to stop him from his party lifestyle.

[@juliocampos4040]

Errol has never been a power puncher. He's a volume puncher and Terence took his punch count away

[@Mitch_Feral]

He's a really linear fighter, and he's mostly fought stationary guys - he directs all his punches into a really narrow field in front of him, and his entire base is built to do that. But Crawford pulled him all around the ring, and devastated his footwork - by the third round, Spence was lunging to throw everything. The first and third knockdowns were so dramatic bc his weight was nowhere *near* balanced - especially the third one, when Bud cracked him in the ear, his torso wasnt over his feet and THEN he got rocked. I have no idea what they were doing in camp, but it sure seems like they werent watching tape, or trying to gameplan for Crawford at all. Spence was going into a movement fight, something he hasnt done hardly any of, against a guy with elite stamina and footwork, and they just...hit play on the same old tape.

[@justcrap3703]

@@waylandlewis5401 Here comes the excuses. Bud made him look like he has no power. PERIOD. Stop with the excuses. Spence is average.

Bottom line, a humble pie was definitely made last night and Errol had three pieces. The ref felt Spence couldn't eat anymore of the pie so he stopped the fight.

This gives new perspective and equity to why Porter's father thew in the towel when Shawn fought Crawford!

Spence is just hype. He is good but nothing is elite on him. Past his prime Brook with eye problems won 4-5 rounds against Spence. Ugas who is not a strong puncher rocked Spence. Spence has fought a grand total of two career 147 world champions his entire career (Brook and Porter) and he struggled badly against both. Every other champ he'd fought was a career 140 or blown up 135 Mikey who came up and most of them were complete featherfights or average punchers at best. He'd been hurt multiple times by light to average punchers, so much so he's had to spit out his mouthpiece

Tarver you a class act .love this guy's truth .he just says it the way it is

[@tb2957]

Derrick didnt do anything to prepare this man

[@adeer2x]

i was thinking the same all camp like bro this man training ryan garcia, AJ, the twins, and spence he got too much to focus on.

[@Mrwilliamblast]

Over confident , they didn’t think they needed to do anything different , mr big stepper , strap season , man down, that’s laughable he wasnt even on the same level of talent , he’s not half the fighter bud is , if his jab is neutralized it’s a wrap , he can’t set up an attack without the jab , he got embarrassed . A rematch really is required will be similar outcome

[@neelante]

​@@adeer2xYou can say that with any other coaches you know bomac done a fight 2 weeks before this.

[@tylerdorsey7267]

@@neelante I agree but Crawford has multiple coaches. Derick is a one man show over there. I just think Spence wasn’t prepared the way he should’ve been. Crawford beat him at his own game took away his jab early and that’s all she wrote.

[@joshuasmith1786]

Crawford and Bomac and their whole team will be recognized now forever, also Spence and his so called trainer of the year is exposed, very quiet now and humbled

[@711exile]

Man, you aint lying, Terrance is just on another level, and Bomac finally got the flowers he deserves.

[@selwynandrews7716]

@fraa460 Spence isn't either of those guys and they have nothing to do with Errol. Different circumstances. Stop deflecting

[@selwynandrews7716]

@fraa460 no he didn't, stop the cap. Manny got knockdown 3 times and had the ref stop the fight to save him from punishment? I must've missed all that...or... it didn't happen

[@Dmaccabees]

Tarver predicted this months ago 💯💯💯🥊🥊

[@SC-CEO]

I love Spence, Derek James, their team and everything they have achieved (Unification is a momentus achievement), However this is a great reminder that remaining humble&hungry is important. Avoiding taking your own hype for granted. Derek James' stable is attracting more and more star names. This is a juncture for all of them to reconsider whether merely being on the team guarantees success, or if they will have to keep working hard for it.

FISH FRIED

[@theplowman_11]

An orthodox fighter fighting as a southpaw is the the cryptonite to a good southpaw. The lead hand is his strongest hand so it catching him all night is like getting haymakers all night. You got a guy like crawford who has the science behind it. Its just bad news for anyone. He's the fighter of the generation

[@damiangallegos652]

Except Crawford fought southpaw almost the entire fight.. .. 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@theplowman_11]

[@henryg9279]

Spence Team was all about everyone else but Spence. Having said that, Crawford is legit, one of the most elite boxing technician in the game.

[@artartwell1992]

He definitely called it.... Try again Spence mandatory and great win Crawford 👍 👌 👏...

[@charmtasticmile9903]

“The Clash” Spence vs Crawford was a classic won by Bud Crawford. Let’s see if we can get “The Clash II” at 154. Tarver was spot on, Spence was not 100% ready and Bud Crawford sensed it early on in the fight and caught him in the 2nd round. It became a boxing clinic until the 9th and the night was over Spence! Crawford is Pound-4-Pound boxing’s best!

[@Rex4sure6425]

The trainer goes out for me. I listened to him during and after the fight. He never mentioned defense or leg/head movement. Only timing. Let's be reminded that this is the man that ended the Roy Jones Era!

[@paggyD2024]

Tarver is one of the best analyzing fight outcomes.

[@eclisis5080]

Nobody blamed the trainer when he was winning, he trained two elite champions at the same time, Crawford was just better, Ugas got defense but didn't matter against Spence because Spence was better end of story

[@littlebonanzaz]

Bruh these dudes are so weird, man lost one fight and want to talk like this. Just say you want a job don’t be putting others down. Fucking weirdo’s

[@blackshakespeare3817]

I agree with that. But at the same time Spence corner was weak as hell in between the rounds. I just think we expected better instructions and adjustments. I really didnt hear much.

[@JxMiLESMUSiC]

ugas had 4 losses G , he don’t got no damn defense

[@Genjuro77]

Ugas was B Level at best. Most PBC fighters just fight inhouse vs lesser type opponents who get hyped up.

[@brianticas6909]

It happens to everyone. Tarver was in the middle. Not great but not the weakest

[@jaydenvu4178]

Tarver seems to be one of those boxers that aren’t the best at boxing but they’re born to be good trainers. He knows what he’s talking abt.

[@kingwillie206]

Tarver had great timing and range from the south paw stance which is why he gave fast, slick orthodox fighters problems. What he lacked was an inside game which is why fighters like Hopkins and James Tony were stylistic nightmares. Jones beat Toney easily, but Toney would have decapitated Tarver.

[@Mike-hy8cs]

Errols defense is good he just was really sloppy offensively that he kept getting countered by big shots. Once he got hurt his legs were gone the rest of the fight you could see it in his body language. He started making more and more mistakes getting hit more and more lunging in reaching in loading up shots. His defense got progressively worse and worse as the fight went on to the point where he got caught with his hands down multiple times which is so unlike errol. What we saw was a combination of crawford at his best and a really sloppy errol spence. Thats why it was so one sided. Errols sloppiness just added to buds performance.

[@TheTone37]

Crawford's counter punches were brutal 🥊👀

[@gilbertnicholas1582]

The POWER in those shots was unreal I give Errol a lot of credit for still coming forward after getting hit with those rights

[@ThePugilistPodcast]

Magic man called it for years and I was with it 💯

[@RealJayNice]

Errol Spence should have never taken this fight. He took over 1 year off without boxing and no tune up. Meanwhile Crawford last fight was 6 months ago and he was possibly preparing himself for this fight since then. If Spence and his team tried to prepare by being recently active they could have at least lost with a better performance or a draw. But you know respect for both boxers.💯🥊

And I ain’t gone go against him ever again. I’m sorry bro. I didn’t know what I didn’t know. Crawford the truth.

[@brandongarcia4838]

Spence was drained man. Derek was calling for adjustments, but Spences body couldn't deliver. Combine that with the punch selection/IQ of Crawford and it was bound to happen. Cant put all the blame on the trainer.
