I watched that fight again not to long ago.. It wasn't as one sided as I remember.. Spence won that fight stricly off size and pressure.. Mikey couldn't hurt him butbhad quite a few moments landing clean
when miguel cotto was a respectable fighter...i loved this fight..paulie got beat down....its like the only ass whoopin paulie got that paulie admits to without other accusations of a fighter wrongdoing

There were several instances where nikkas shoulda known Spence wasnt fukking with Crawford
Just to name a few
#1 going 12 rounds with a 135 pound Mikey Garcia pulled up to 147
#2 the fear in Spence's voice when he tried to tell Bud they needed to clean up sides of an imaginary street when Bud pulled up on him for smoke(that shoulda been a clear indicator
#3 Going Life n Death with Shawn Porter.. Porter is just not that good.. never has been.
And if #1,2,and 3 couldn't sway your opinion then there's #4. The man signed a fight vs Pacquiao and ended up getting his ass whipped by a random sparring partner which killed the Pac fight..
nikkas were so enthralled with the PBC vs TR cold war nobody stopped once to notice Spence hadn't looked good since Ocampo which was way before the accidentIf these facts diminish Bud's win then oh well
#5 PBC did everything in their power to block the fight for YEARS because the people closest to Spence knew what the outcome would be
dude had to go against everything his advisors and handlers wanted and negotiate with Bud on his own to get the fight made. Someone mentioned this was a cash out fight for Spence and in retrospect I wonder if that's how Spence saw it. He seems to be enjoying his free time now so maybe dude just wanted to give the fans the fight everybody wanted before he went off in the sunset
