In awhile?? The Spence fight was the best performance of his career and that was 2 fights ago..
I will say I still really didn’t think he was gonna win yesterday, but age had nothing to do with it.
Anyone else heading to the Canelo/Crawford fight in Vegas?…

I didn’t consider Spence the fighter many considered him to be.
Crawford deserves a ton of credit for the physical work he put in and it was obvious he’d done a ton of homework on Alvarez’ style, knew what to do to take advantage of his strengths versus Alvarez’ tendencies and executed. Nearly perfectly. I also didn’t think age would be a factor. Alvarez is 35, 36? It’s not like Bud was ten years older. My concern was really the jump in weight (up one weight class last fight, up two for this one) and Alvarez having fought at that weight many more times. Not only did it not bother Crawford, it actually looked like he benefitted from it.

I agree with mostly all of this. Spence was massively overrated but he was still on a level above mostly everyone bud had ever fought before. You’re exactly right about Crawford doing his homework. He had like 3-4 years to prepare for Spence and he absolutely dismantled him, similar with Canelo. I was mostly only concerned with the size as well, and it didn’t matter at all. Bud was probably stronger than Canelo.
