Personally I wouldn't make that excuse if he gets beat by Bud. That said I will say that Ugas was tailor made for Spence's style. Bud gonna move more and counter. Just don't know if he can upstand the pressure if he doesn't finish early maybe mid rds. Like a 6-2rds his way after 8 type lead for Bud imo if he wants a good shot to win a Dec.
That narrative isn't necessarily a true one. Nobody will ever know. I think it was ring rust and still a bit banged up vs D.Garcia.
I think the concern is more about how well Spence's durability will hold up. He seems to have retained his skill set
I was in a bad car accident similar to him. Was a Porsche not a Ferrari though. I also had my seat belt on, he didn't. I recovered pretty fine and didn't have the injuries he did because he was thrown from the car. But I had some permanent nerve damage as a result. Still shows itself in the fact that I can't hold my hands steady or still if I try. But doesn't impact anything else. So I can 100% see how people would think his accident would take something from him. His was 100x worse than mine because he was slung out of the vehicle. Miracle he survived.
He had facial injuries and lost/ broke a lot of his teeth I believe. He talks a bit different now too. Many say its because he still has to get used to talking with his new teeth.
Yeah well, Garcia didn't go from flyweight to heavyweight. He had a belt at 140, was 39-0 and on most P4P lists.
Sure, when most people thought he'd pressure him and try to break him.
I'm not totally sold on that tbh, the eye was definitely a problem, but spence took that fight over and won it either way, and brook looked pretty good for most of that fight
oh yeah, that's a huge feather in his cap too
