You fight with Danny Garcia N you never the same again

Matthysse
Thurman
Spence

:leon:
:mjlol:


I told people after that fight that Spence took a beating. Something was off with him from the jump. And in the 2nd half he started taking some serious blows and didn't look eager to trade like he normally does.

Torn retina is serious business, I hope Spence ain't done

yeah...if there is one thing im adamant about all fighters not doing is gambling with their eyesight

i know retinas can be repaired and its not the ABSOLUTE career ender that it was 40 years ago in boxing....still very unfortunate

Woodley getting more promotion for this fight than her ever got from the Klansmen Dana White during his time as UFC champion. Paul must be footing the bil because Tank's PPVs didn't even get a rollout like this.



The beauty of the business of boxing

you come with your fan base, I come with my fan base, and we can get paid

lol @ that fight being a "beating"
You can win a fight clearly and still take a beating. It was pretty obvious that Spence felt Danny's power late in that fight. And he was also being hurt to the body. Spence was getting hit with some heat. There's a reason he was reluctant to sit in the pocket for long. Many people have shared this sentiment including other fighters. Spence was getting touched in those later rounds :yeshrug:

It's fukking boxing, everybody gets touched. That fight wasn't no beating and I'm not tying a retinal tear reported in August to a fight that happened in December.

youre absolutely right it does breh...its just unfortunate it came at the expense of a superfight going away

well the wba mess technically was cleared up because Ugas is the champ but you know what I mean.

They can market this as “who is the real wba champ?” for the remaining week and a 1/2.

If I’m Spence I’m kicking myself because you want Pac after that 2 year layoff.
