    Spence Took an INORDINATE Amount of FLUSH Head Shots for SEVERAL Rounds...

    The Counter Right Uppercut Bud DRILLED Him w/(1st Knockdown of Round 7) Would've ENDED the Fight Then and There if Spence's Beard Wasn't @ Least SOLID....No, He Ain't Hagler/Monzon, But He Ate MORE Than Enough "Ooh-Aah" Shots from a Guy Who Can Clearly CRACK a Bit, to Have Answered ANY Chin Check Questions...

    Spence's BEST Chance Would've Been Back Then....

    DELAYING the Fight for Years Allowed Bud to ACCLIMATE Himself to '47...Even BoMac's Admitted This...The Strength Advantage Spence DIDN'T Have Last Saturday Night WOULD Have Been There During the Time Frame You're Referencing...Not Saying Spence WINS, But it's a TOUGHER Fight for Bud, Undoubtedly...

    But like I said, he was throwing Horn around like a rag doll in his 147 debut, so he was strong off the bat. The Horn fight, until Saturday, was Bud's best performance imo.

    The Horn fight is kinda like Bud's Richard Hall fight.

    You Say That as if Horn Actually DEMONSTRATED Strength Against Anyone OTHER than Pacquiao's Midget Ass...

    Horn was BIG, Yes, But There's Little to No Evidence of His Strength Bruh...

    From a career standpoint, Fundora is a terrible idea. He's better off facing Mendoza, Lubin or Adames.

    Lubin would be a good choice, but a risky choice. Lubin sucks but he can crack. Depending on how damaged Spence is, Lubin could hurt him if he lands right. If Spence rebounds, he would batter Lubin.

    Adames is too dangerous for Spence to fight in a comeback.

    Fundora makes no sense either - he was knocked cold in his last fight but because he's tall as fuck and a southpaw, he poses unique challenges. Mendoza is probably the right guy but I like the Castano match for Spence too.

    The LDBC are absolutely awful, don't get me wrong, but I have to admit I was pissing myself laughing when they started blaming AJ for bringing the losing disease into the Spence camp :Jest:
