Crawford Vs Spence at 154

[J_Undisputed]

Spence was already talking rematch after the fight. As the former 3 belt champ, its his prerogative. The contract stated that the loser could activate the rematch clause but it had to be before the end of the year. I don't know if there was a stipulation about weight. Personally, I don't think it matters, it wasnt the power that hurt spence, it was the precision. Spence deserves credit for taking that beating like a man and at the same time he deserves people around him to be honest with him and tell him the truth. For a fighter, that fight took years off his career. Another one with 6 months could put him in pugged out gatekeeper territory, if hes not careful. These are the type of beatings that ruin fighters. By many people's account, it could have been over sooner and Bud toyed with him and carried him a little, but after the 4th Spence was on borrowed time. It might have been his first loss, but it was brutal and Bud said before the fight that Spence would never be the same. Hopefully the people around Spence talk him down this time better than they did about his driving...If he activates the rematch clause, he better get out his bingo cards cause Bud has his number.

Can you come back from such a bad beating like this?

What I read was the loser has thirty days to activate a rematch clause and can pick the weight they fight at. So Spence can have a rematch at 154 if he wants.

Spence should choose heavyweight and both have to weigh over 200lbs by the end of the year, see who is the better binge eater.

The 1st fight had to happen
The rematch doesn't

Crawford would win. Twenty years from now I can see Spence having progressed from weed to something stronger and looking like the black version of Skinny Pete. Crawford will definitely be fat and happy.
