Okay so was Spence compromised pre-fight or not :comeon: :sas2:
Truthfully, I thought something wasn't right with him the way he kept reacting in certain fights. Just doing weird shyt. Him getting hurt bad from Ugas really sealed it for me but the Spence clan wasn't trying to hear that back then lol

To me the barometer was Spence vs Porter in 2019 (which was pre-accident). He showed so many defensive flaws, and allowed Porter to relentlessly tag him, and you saw how Spence felt uncomfortable against Porter's athleticism. Watching it in the back of my mind thinking "Now if those shots were thrown by Crawford, imagine what would happen"

Yeah he got lit up against Porter & @patscorpio, me (and maybe @LauderdaleBoss ) were the ones to keep saying it. And he got buzzed a couple of times from those shots & like you said, it was pre-accident. There were so many in denial about that it was crazy. I caught hell for years saying he'd get carved up by a counter puncher like Crawford & even Thurman back then lol

Yup this is facts
I remember during the lead up to the fight, Spence stans were claiming he was gonna beat the ever loving shyt outta Porter and stop him.

but alas, Porter had other plans that night. :pachaha:

Thats all good but Spence strategy for that fight (said he was going to stand in the middle of the ring with Porter and challenged him to do the same, he seemed to fight that way with cats he legit had a problem with), has nothing to do with being compromised post accident though.

Same thing with Mikey and him not steamrolling him, said he wanted to box since people were insulting his intelligence
