    With how this fight turned out, do we think a rematch, even at 154, is necessary or interesting? They

    “Styles make fights” – Everybody I’m having a hard time seeing Spence changing up his style enough to deal with Bud’s absurd adaptability. Bud also looked very physically strong, I don’t think the extra 7 pounds will give Spence the mass to power through what Bud was dishing out. Most importantly, Crawford was effortlessly controlling the balance game on the inside, which is where Spence has historically dominated with weight-shifting frames leading into steady, thumping combos that wear people down. How does Spence realistically adjust to take the W?

      Bud was so dominant I can’t see the rematch going any other way. I don’t think we need to see it but I will definitely watch it. I’d like to see bud move up a see if he can clear up another division, he is already an all time great after that win, now it’s time to see how far up the list he can go.

        Oh I’ll watch it, make no mistake. His taunt of Charlo mid-fight was the stuff legends are made of, too. I’d love to see him give Boots a boxing lesson before moving up, though. I adore Boots’ style and think he’d benefit massively from the experience and exposure, but it’s bit of a lose-lose for Bud to take. But what a fight it would be!
