Spence v Crawford was actually a really good fight despite Crawford absolutely dominating. Spence was brave and busy he kept working throwing the jab going to the body. Crawford was quicker, more explosive, incredibly accurate and with a huge power advantage. If there’s such a thing as a good loss Spence had one in the context of you could see the shock and fear in his eyes when he got dropped in the second. To fight on like he did even after being put down twice more shows why he’s a champion as well.And one more thing - over the last year or so I've really come to respect fighters who aren't about any bullshit. Get in there, show respect to your opponent and be gracious in victory and defeat. Give it everything and have some class.
Can't stand guys like McGregor anymore, and with that said - Poirier has quickly become probably my favourite guy in the UFC now. Guy shows up every time, doesn't need to humiliate his opponent, and has total respect if he gets beat. Guys an absolute role model and what fighters should aim to become.
Was an unbelievable day of fights, something I don't think I'll ever forget - and headlined by guys in their respective sports that are the types of fighters I enjoy. Both boxing and the UFC could learn from these guys, don't need to talk trash to sell a fight.
I thought Crawford would win well but even I was a bit surprised that Spence didn’t really bother Crawford at all. I’d forget about a rematch and just move on if I advising him because barring a lucky punch or the Danny green weighted glove he’s not beating Crawford Imo.
