Crawford vs Spence

Bet $50 for Bud to win in rounds 9-12 at +700

Drinks on you tonight, buddy.
 
I stand corrected I guess.

I thought Spence might think it over for a few days/weeks. But I guess he's like, fuck it, let's turn my face into actual mashed potatoes.


Wonder what the demand will be for a rematch?
Promoters will have a hell of a time selling this rematch. Better sell the tv rights to espn

To be fair he wasn't there when he gave that answer.... He looked concussed as fuck
I'm no expert, but I'm guessing the Vegas sports books would get involved in this. If they legitimately cannot set a line for a rematch, I gotta think it would not happen.

I know Spence has a guaranteed rematch trigger, but if his payday is $73 for the rematch, I'd have to think he'll end up passing on it. But again I'm not an expert in this area.
 
Spence was night & day difference after he went down in the 2nd & Bud was done evaluating him
Spence was the aggressor in the 1st & Bud let Spence get comfortable being the aggressor
Then Spence met Buds counter & her never tasted power like that before
Then Bud kept giving it to him
This was an all time dismantling. Spence will take another payday in a rematch but the outcome won’t be different. This was a career ender. A fighter late in his career doesn’t come back from being son’d like that
Bud is an all time great. Crazy he gets better & more powerful with each fight
Once in his career Bud was considered a “technical fighter who lacked power”
Lol
He’s a hammer now & is surgical in the ring
This was Tyson in his prime level dominance
Should have been stopped well before the 9th
 
OPTION for either to request a rematch.

If Spence don't want the smoke and the Vegas bookies can't set a line, there'll be no rematch.

I mean, Spence ducked him for so long and now we know why. He knew he didn't want to fight him. I'd say zero chance for a rematch honestly.
They said after the match the loser has 30 days to trigger a rematch.

They asked Spence afterwards and he said “Hell, yes there’ll be a rematch. Maybe in December.” He also said he hope it happens at the next weight class up.

But of course he was seriously concussed at the time, so you probably douse that with several grains of salt.
 
Barring a rematch… who’s left for Bud? Are there any other big names out there? Is tonight the peak of his career because it’s the biggest fight (stakes, name opponent) he’ll ever have?

At this point big names will come. But this is the peak I'd think.

Hope he hangs it up soon as one of the GOATS

I was just reading something that basically said his only options are to:
- fight nobodies at his current weight
- move up
- fight catch weight fights

I can't imagine any of those three sound good to him at this point in his career
