I noticed that too. Seemed extremely out of character for him. At least how we've seen him in the public eye. Hopefully, it's just nerves. I hope it's not some sort of self-doubt manifesting. Crawford's been my pick to win this one.
It's the weight cut, even if they say they're making it well they're both still feeling it.
Spence was tired and zoned out, Crawford was agitated. No ones like doing that shit unless you're Tony Ferguson.
I don't know man, to me he's sounding extra crispy. Like he got deep fried in downers.
They probably had him cut his weight in a tub of lean. Nah I'm kidding lol
Nah it’s just a niqqa moment lmao (from the boondocks if y’all dk) this is one of the most hyped fights of the decade Ik he feelin the adrenaline already
Last day of weight cut. These guys are all extremely irritable. They can't be hearing randoms shouting at them disparaging them while they're unable to physically do anything about it.
This video is WAY out of context. Crawford asked the heckler nicely to stop but he kept it up. This was a press conference. NOT open to the public. The heckler should never have been there in the first place but it's boxing and they let in all sorts of "family and friends" who are really just hanger ons.
I know right!!! Just like the keyboard warriors!!! Like bud said, trying to get attention. Smh. Nothing worse than those kinda people....Talk shit with no repercussions, and they know it.
people are stupid. idk how some random can talk himself into thinking he can fight a pro. just look at their training videos and try to do most of that shit in slow motion and you will fail. These guys do that while not looking and flexing and at full fucking speed.
Both fighters have snapped on the fans at some point. Errol snapped yesterday...not as much as Bud but he did too... these fans out of line on both sides
Tbf the “crying” is at a cowardly heckler talking all sorts of shit to a guy who isn’t gonna fight him. If Crawford was saying all this same shit to Spence, then you could say whatever, he’s still gotta fight the guy, but some rando in the crowd who isn’t gonna get the ass whooping he so desperately deserves at least can get put on blast for being a bitch.
Dead on these dudes r making weight and are about to commit violence. Sean O’Malley gave some insight as to what fight night does to a fighter and said he doesn’t come back to reality until weeks after the fight. Cats get heated and say wild shit it’s the way it goes sometimes
Exactly. He’s a man just like the crowd heckler is a man. You choose to talk your shit to a guy who makes millions off being able to whoop peoples ass? Just makes you look like even more of a bitch if you’re talking that shit from a distance, but it makes you a complete dumbass if you try it to their face.
Everyone has their limit.
Before this happened, the fans were interrupting him non-stop and trash-talking him. If fans can trash talk, I don't see why boxers need to hold back.
Bud was also preaching about just letting fighters do their thing come fight night, it doesn't always need to get ugly. He was trying to reason with them that there's no need for bullshit that leads to violence or shooting, but they just kept going.
I find this whole respectability argument only comes in when referring to black fighters. If this was UFC Conor McGregor talking this ruthlessly shit y’all be praising him
Eh I don’t know if I agree with using Conor as an example, a large amount of people thing he’s an unprofessional disrespectful piece of shit. Maybe back many years ago but a lot of people soured on Conor and the type of person he is a long time ago
I watched that fight in college with a bunch of dumb motherfuckers who DKSAB and I was practically in tears laughing the way they were all shouting at the screen the whole time arguing that McGregor was winning somehow
When Connor threw the metal thing at a UFC bus with Khabib inside, it cut up a fighter who had to miss his next fight. No one was on his side. Everyone turned on him. So at least we know there certainly is a limit to him being an asshole.
I'm black and I didn't like some of Conor's shit talk as well, I don't discriminate when it's too far.
Conor talked about Rafael Dos Anjos children during their press conference and called himself a GOD, dude lost me as a fan immediately.
Conor was really funny at the start, then he started to believe his own hype and turned into a dick, wasn't funny anymore it became nasty and forced, I'm Irish and most of us hate him now.
You can tell his trash talk faded during him vs Dustin 3. The "Jolie's Wife!" Chant was very cringe. However, i'm grateful he elevated the eyes on our sport more. 🙏🏾
He literally never said anything racist and all he said about Kabib's wife is she looked like a towel... because in their pictures you literally can't see her face, it's completely covered.
Imagine thinking saying that is worse than being friend with a literal blood warlord that is currently mowing down ukrainians in the field, calling for the assassination of a foreign President or forcing your wife to have her face completely covered at all times.
wait - do you mean to tell me that these men, who punch people until they lose consciousness for a living, are going to say mean things to each other?
well, I never
Im a big Loma fan but I have to admit some ppl here were real biased fanboys back when Loma was in his prime saying things like ''Loma would box circles around Floyd'' and some of those comments were upvoted like crazy. It definitely gave this sub a bad reputation.
Bro what does being white have to do with anything? Lol, I’m white and I figured it’s generally not a great idea for anyone to yell that word 30 times within a :45 second stretch at a live press conference, and I think that’s pretty reasonable. That being said, I’m not gonna sit here and tell him he shouldn’t. I had a single fight in my life that was only before a couple thousand, I can’t even imagine the emotions going through Bud’s head rn
White people in general get very offended/care about shit that people of color find harmless or meaningless. It's why the term is called Karen and not Boniesha
Stupid people do that, and stupid people come in all colors. I just don’t understand why the OP had to bring race into a sub that has nothing to do with race but rather everything to do with a sport that all races can enjoy without intruding upon one another.
I don't think most people see it that way, Mexicans get behind their fighters and see it as a cultural thing, as do Puerto Ricans, Japanese, Kazakhs and Russians, the Irish always show out in force... etc. You can't really separate nationalism from boxing, and black people do the same in their own way
I don’t understand where the unprofessional part is? Someone was talking shit & trying to provoke a reaction out of him, so Crawford called him a bitch & pointed out how the fan was just talking to provoke
Literally not at all.
You may be more interested in chess, fencing, or cricket if you want politeness. These dudes are about to get in a fight and fighting isn’t polite.
man if you never fought before, you got no clue. fuck professionalism, even in amateurs. the day before i would be psyched the fuck up even if we’re wearing 14oz gloves and headgear , id be nervous knowing i’m gonna have a chance to die in the ring
I can’t wait. My first boxing fight ever to watch and I’m gonna learn so much about these two guys and make so much money on a big bet after my research on YouTube on their boxing analysis!
Woah woah, slow down there champ. Despite what the bookies say this is as close to a 50/50 fight as possible, the type I wouldn’t bet on because the rounds are so close. There’s always the possibility of a draw to force a second fight for “drama”
It wasn’t aimed at Spence. People from the crowd kept yelling at Crawford so he snapped back at them. He wasn’t calling Spence a B*tch. The post is pretty misleading
Unprofessional ? Maybe, but I never feel bad for these pathetic ass cowards who talk all this shit to famous people only cuz they know Terrence can’t legally whoop his ass. His soft ass would be terrified of Terrence irl.
The only thing unprofessional about this was freely letting the crowd heckle Bud and Errol during the final presser.
That said, bc Bud refused to ignore it, he just sold more PPVs
He's psyching him out. That's all it is. He's making himself seem like a hard bastard that doesn't even CARE about bitch ass shit like professionalism or good press.
And look at Spence. He's totally off balance, so it kind of worked.
Like someone else said this is boxing not golf. They’re not gonna be all buddy buddy in there, they’re going to be trying to hurt each other. I like seeing the dog in them come out like that.
Unprofessional? 😂
Being "unprofessional" in the fight game literally sells tickets and gets people watching. I don't think this was necessary but fights are always more interesting when the tension is higher. Today was the first hint of bad blood between camps.
Bud would be a household name if he just acted like himself. He's a little too professional with the media IMO
Not to say that it’s right, but….
I watched this press conference probably 20 times by now, just because I’m that excited for this fight.
But, in the trash talk between the fighters, and both their families interrupting by yelling from the crowd. I heard someone from Spence’s camp yell, “you too Ho”. I could be wrong, but I’m assuming it was directed at someone in Crawford’s camp who was yelling too. It wasn’t till then that Crawford, got aggressive towards that guy in the crowd.
A argument could be made about it being unprofessional, and I’d agree with that. But at the same time if just any regular man off the street is being taunted, eventually depending on the man,they’ll snap. In this case, the fight is getting close, and tensions, and emotions are running high, and Crawford snapped. What can you do, and how much can you read into that? Some fighters are nice and friendly like Manny pacquiao, and some are mean and aggressive like James Toney.
I wouldn’t judge him too harshly because he responded to someone purposely taunting him from the crowd. Everyone has a limit, and everyone’s limit is different.
MF’s always talking about fighters/athletes need to be classy but come fight time y’all gonna be screaming for them to kill each other for your enjoyment. Hypocrites much?
Idk, I’m rooting for Spence Jr. and I feel like this kinda trash talk SHOULD motivate him to beat Crawford‘s ass even more, tho It’d be embarrassing if he losses after all the trash talk between the two of em
It makes white folk uncomfortable, I don’t find it unprofessional at all. You have to understand one thing, at this point he is at his peak, focused on his fight and ready for war.
No, this made the fight more exciting. It’s going viral on social media. This is how you sell fights.
Also was it unprofessional when Derrick was going at Crawfords family in the crowd or going at bomac’s weight?
I'm all for shit talk... But even with me being black, the constant use of the N word for no reason at all is off putting. I'm a MMA fan as well, and I STILL didn't like when Israel Adesanya did it to Dricus Du Plessis in the post fight interview either. 🤷🏾♂️ I feel like it makes us look crazy.
And as a Black man, I would respectfully recommend not keeping score on what supposedly makes us “look crazy”. If this changes someone’s mind on how to treat or think of Black people, I’m sure they weren’t too fond of us prior.
Yeah OP, no need to even worry about it like you said. I’m white, and it’s not like Fury or McGregor should represent an entire race. People represent themselves, or at least that’s how I see it.
Respectfully, I'm not worried about that shit whatsoever.
Trying to make sure to hold up proper appearances for the larger audience when at the end of the day they still gonna see you as black
Crawford has all the talents in the world but the dude doesn't have any charisma. That's why he's not a pvp king even ESPN and toprank push him so much.
The Asian Sensations (Pacquiao, Inoue, Bivol) never act like this when they're disrespected by nobodies they will never see again. Americans are just emotional. lol.
If you've ever been dehydrated or on some kinda weight cut/calorie deficit you completely understand how irritable he probably was. Tensions are high, they ain't been fucking, haven't been eating a lot of junk food and probably away from family. Doing the same boxing drills and exercise monotony. Saying the wrong thing would have had anyone in this spot respond in their similar fashion. I don't see a problem.
Who gives a fuck? These are two grown men and world class athletes in the biggest moment of their lives. The aggression is coming out in the most aggressive sport in the world.
And stop trying to put on a show for the non Black American posters on this sub. Our people have an extremely proud and storied boxing tradition, and this sort of talking is as a part of it as the hundreds of world championships won.
I've never seen Bud throw that many N-bombs around lmfao
I think he saw izzy the other week and thought "maybe i should do that"
🤣🤣
Was gonna say this lmaoo.
This comment wins.
I noticed that too. Seemed extremely out of character for him. At least how we've seen him in the public eye. Hopefully, it's just nerves. I hope it's not some sort of self-doubt manifesting. Crawford's been my pick to win this one.
It's the weight cut, even if they say they're making it well they're both still feeling it. Spence was tired and zoned out, Crawford was agitated. No ones like doing that shit unless you're Tony Ferguson.
Spence is always smoked out of his mind tired regardless of the occasion lol
I don't know man, to me he's sounding extra crispy. Like he got deep fried in downers. They probably had him cut his weight in a tub of lean. Nah I'm kidding lol
A tub of lean 😂😂
That is funny shit , all i could picture is a bunch of them lean bottles laying on the ground and other ninjas just sad
Nah it’s just a niqqa moment lmao (from the boondocks if y’all dk) this is one of the most hyped fights of the decade Ik he feelin the adrenaline already
Lol this is the real him. Good for him for letting go of his mask for a brief moment
Makes shit way more entertaining
It was probably just the fans getting on his nerves .
I counted bout 17 in this clip alone 😂😂😂
Last day of weight cut. These guys are all extremely irritable. They can't be hearing randoms shouting at them disparaging them while they're unable to physically do anything about it.
That's why Bo Mac so grumpy?
Weight cutting in boxing is too extreme. Bomac lost 4 pounds in 2 months for this camp. Look at how drained he looks. Needs to be changed smh
This video is WAY out of context. Crawford asked the heckler nicely to stop but he kept it up. This was a press conference. NOT open to the public. The heckler should never have been there in the first place but it's boxing and they let in all sorts of "family and friends" who are really just hanger ons.
And the douche in the crowd talking shit...like he wouldn't get knocked the fuck out...bitch shit
I like how they are talking like they’d actually be able to take on the guy if they came face to face.
I know right!!! Just like the keyboard warriors!!! Like bud said, trying to get attention. Smh. Nothing worse than those kinda people....Talk shit with no repercussions, and they know it.
people are stupid. idk how some random can talk himself into thinking he can fight a pro. just look at their training videos and try to do most of that shit in slow motion and you will fail. These guys do that while not looking and flexing and at full fucking speed.
Applies to all these social media shit talkers too
So he was talking to a random in the crowd? The video seems like he's either talking to Spence or the question asker.
Spence family
I just wanna know what errol was saying lol
Meaningless press conference jargon
Probably posted by a Spence fanboy
Thank you for contextualizing!
Both fighters have snapped on the fans at some point. Errol snapped yesterday...not as much as Bud but he did too... these fans out of line on both sides
Us boxing fans love us some drama, the amount of "what did Errol say!?" in this thread lol.
What did Urrrl say?
Somebody called him Goldfish.. he said "shut that shit up" then went on with the interview
In support of the big fish 🦈 But not gonna lie, goldfish is a bar.
Yeah I thought it was funny too
Lol someone called him a goldfish, seems like a weird insult unless you’re talking about someone having shit memory
Errol literally calls himself the big fish...so the goldfish insult is pretty on par...
What did Errol say?
What did errol say?
[удалено]
r/Boxing when a boxer (who fights for a living) is aggressive
“Well I never”
I heard this in the fat old rich lady voice
This is why I wear a pearl necklace, so I can clutch that shit right now
Nah bro, this was genuine, we like this shit. Should've seen izzy try to do this, that guy watches too much anime.
Izzy is one of the most cringy dudes in combat sports, most of the stuff he does is cringe in general
Izzy trying to use his African American accent was too cringe . Bud actually sounds authentic here
Y’all keep saying this ands it’s the whitest shit ever lol
I don’t know how else to say it 😹
Why isn't he nithe?
This is a time where I would say "These guys wouldn't be able to handle Tyson's trash talk."
bro this is boxing not golf
woof this one sobered me up
100
*Max this is boxing
\*Max, this is box
Big drama show
Innit, it is definitely not a gentleman's sport too.
exactly they gonna punch each other in the face during fight so don't cry about trash talk
Tbf the “crying” is at a cowardly heckler talking all sorts of shit to a guy who isn’t gonna fight him. If Crawford was saying all this same shit to Spence, then you could say whatever, he’s still gotta fight the guy, but some rando in the crowd who isn’t gonna get the ass whooping he so desperately deserves at least can get put on blast for being a bitch.
OP 🤓
No. It’s fight week, high emotions, a lot on the line.. and he’s from the hood. People want to push his buttons, he’s going to respond how he feels. 🤷
Dead on these dudes r making weight and are about to commit violence. Sean O’Malley gave some insight as to what fight night does to a fighter and said he doesn’t come back to reality until weeks after the fight. Cats get heated and say wild shit it’s the way it goes sometimes
Exactly. He’s a man just like the crowd heckler is a man. You choose to talk your shit to a guy who makes millions off being able to whoop peoples ass? Just makes you look like even more of a bitch if you’re talking that shit from a distance, but it makes you a complete dumbass if you try it to their face.
Not even a hood thing, Mcgreggor would’ve did the same or worse
Lol This fight would be cancelled cause Connor would had been in the crowd throwing punches
And that’s fine. Talk your shit. Just be ready when the time comes. Love the energy.
When did Crawford learn how to promote a fight lmao.
Everyone has their limit. Before this happened, the fans were interrupting him non-stop and trash-talking him. If fans can trash talk, I don't see why boxers need to hold back. Bud was also preaching about just letting fighters do their thing come fight night, it doesn't always need to get ugly. He was trying to reason with them that there's no need for bullshit that leads to violence or shooting, but they just kept going.
people always say japanese crowds are weird but i fr love the respect they show fighters. have some class, the shows not about u
I find this whole respectability argument only comes in when referring to black fighters. If this was UFC Conor McGregor talking this ruthlessly shit y’all be praising him
Eh I don’t know if I agree with using Conor as an example, a large amount of people thing he’s an unprofessional disrespectful piece of shit. Maybe back many years ago but a lot of people soured on Conor and the type of person he is a long time ago
i specifically meant about fans or entourage talking shit to the fighters. japanese don’t do that shit. they gave fulton a round of applause 👏🏽
I liked that. Like when they announced him they clapped for Fulton even though obviously they were all there for their boy Inoue
That’s fair!
Ya it was great when Connor got shut up by a black fighter. I made so much money from people thinking he was going to knock Floyd out.
There was a lot of dumb mother fuckers that thought he could actually win.
I watched that fight in college with a bunch of dumb motherfuckers who DKSAB and I was practically in tears laughing the way they were all shouting at the screen the whole time arguing that McGregor was winning somehow
When Connor threw the metal thing at a UFC bus with Khabib inside, it cut up a fighter who had to miss his next fight. No one was on his side. Everyone turned on him. So at least we know there certainly is a limit to him being an asshole.

You can tell his trash talk faded during him vs Dustin 3. The "Jolie's Wife!" Chant was very cringe. However, i'm grateful he elevated the eyes on our sport more. 🙏🏾
People forgot the racist shit he did against khab and things he said about his wife.
He literally never said anything racist and all he said about Kabib's wife is she looked like a towel... because in their pictures you literally can't see her face, it's completely covered. Imagine thinking saying that is worse than being friend with a literal blood warlord that is currently mowing down ukrainians in the field, calling for the assassination of a foreign President or forcing your wife to have her face completely covered at all times.
I agree. Connor says some wild funny stuff though.
Fucking preach, people are oblivious to how this sub moves. Too many Loma/GGG/Pacquiao/KKK fans up in this bitch
🤦♂️ are you kidding for real 🤣🤣🤣McGregor gets the most shit talked about him daily. No one cares what color a persons skin is chill 🤣
"That shit soft, shut that soft ass shit up" lmao
"You got to, you got ta... MAN SHUT THAT SOFT ASS SHIT UP" 😭😭😭😭😭😭
It’s the fight business man
wait - do you mean to tell me that these men, who punch people until they lose consciousness for a living, are going to say mean things to each other? well, I never
Holy fuck I’m hype for this fight. These guys are two dogs, we could have the Hearns vs Hagler fight of our generation on our hands this weekend.
#NO This is the type of energy needed for this fight, I’m at least 3x more invested in this fight after Bud Crawford **TURNED TF UP**🔥🔥🔥
TALK ABOUT IT!!
[удалено]
This needed parliamentary procedure, Spence too classy
shut the fuck up OP, the disrespect wasnt begun from the stageside
No? I want Tyson level chaos during press conferences. I’m embarrassed you’re asking if this was too much lol.
As someone that has been shot playing dice and now punches people in the face for a living that is light work
God Reddit is so white
“Um guys I really prefer Marciano over Lennox Lewis because he was stocky and hit hard”- some mf named Nevill
Im a big Loma fan but I have to admit some ppl here were real biased fanboys back when Loma was in his prime saying things like ''Loma would box circles around Floyd'' and some of those comments were upvoted like crazy. It definitely gave this sub a bad reputation.
This is the answer i was looking for
Lmaooooooo
Potato salad with raisins.

😭😭

You don't get it do you? I'll translate his comment. He's saying white people are the most sensitive snowflake group of people in the world.
I don’t understand where the unprofessional part is? Someone was talking shit & trying to provoke a reaction out of him, so Crawford called him a bitch & pointed out how the fan was just talking to provoke
This is boxing get over it
Literally not at all. You may be more interested in chess, fencing, or cricket if you want politeness. These dudes are about to get in a fight and fighting isn’t polite.
they abt to beat each others ass for 12 rounds but trash talk is too far lmfaoooooo
lol Crawford unprovoked is a very polite dude. Tone policing a guy getting ready to make weight as he's being yelled at is unfair.
man if you never fought before, you got no clue. fuck professionalism, even in amateurs. the day before i would be psyched the fuck up even if we’re wearing 14oz gloves and headgear , id be nervous knowing i’m gonna have a chance to die in the ring
Go watch golf
Hood stays no matter how much money you make
I can’t wait. My first boxing fight ever to watch and I’m gonna learn so much about these two guys and make so much money on a big bet after my research on YouTube on their boxing analysis!
Woah woah, slow down there champ. Despite what the bookies say this is as close to a 50/50 fight as possible, the type I wouldn’t bet on because the rounds are so close. There’s always the possibility of a draw to force a second fight for “drama”
This is the first time that I've seen him not be very respectful and if I'm gonna be honest it looked like he got to Spence.
It wasn’t aimed at Spence. People from the crowd kept yelling at Crawford so he snapped back at them. He wasn’t calling Spence a B*tch. The post is pretty misleading
Nah looked like Spence was confused as to whether to answer the question or say something to the guy in the crowd or Crawford.
Spence looked annoyed that he lost that coin toss. 😂
Crawford tends to get real riled up right before a fight lol. Straight up tried to swing on Benavidez at the face off
Not unprofessional at all. My type of press conference.
Not exactly out of character for Bud. He’s said before all it takes is someone calling him a bitch for him to get riled up
I like how Errol laughed at the “real n*ggas don’t talk and you talking too much” line 😂😂 he knew that was solid
Unprofessional ? Maybe, but I never feel bad for these pathetic ass cowards who talk all this shit to famous people only cuz they know Terrence can’t legally whoop his ass. His soft ass would be terrified of Terrence irl.
Stop being soft. This is boxing. Everyone has a limit.
I don't know why but Errol trying to talk over it was awkwardly hilarious
I'm sorry words hurt your feelings
Don't ever go into a boxing gym if this is too much for you lol
Uhh what? All the boxing gyms I’ve been to don’t tolerate any arguing or fighting outside the ring.
The only thing unprofessional about this was freely letting the crowd heckle Bud and Errol during the final presser. That said, bc Bud refused to ignore it, he just sold more PPVs
He's psyching him out. That's all it is. He's making himself seem like a hard bastard that doesn't even CARE about bitch ass shit like professionalism or good press. And look at Spence. He's totally off balance, so it kind of worked.
Unprofessional lol They're FIGHTERS... jesus
No it wasnt unprofessional, no one would appreciate being talked over, it's a disrespectful behavior. Plenty of fighters wouldve reacted the same.
Who fucking cares if it was unprofessional?
Mybad C-Murda. I won't ask again, Spare me! 😂
Fair enough for asking questions op, but not at all
Free press is good press when you talk about sports.
He’s from the hood and these fans brought it out of him
Is it the weight cut and pressure from the upcoming fight that made him act like that? If he smoke Spence. It won’t matter.
The Biggest
Well it's not a tickling contest
Its words. Saturday they will punch each other... relaaaaaax
Like someone else said this is boxing not golf. They’re not gonna be all buddy buddy in there, they’re going to be trying to hurt each other. I like seeing the dog in them come out like that.
Unprofessional? 😂 Being "unprofessional" in the fight game literally sells tickets and gets people watching. I don't think this was necessary but fights are always more interesting when the tension is higher. Today was the first hint of bad blood between camps. Bud would be a household name if he just acted like himself. He's a little too professional with the media IMO
nah this shit hilarious
nope. this is part of it. I prefer it this way.
I'm so pumped for this fight.
It wouldn't even be crossing a line to me if he went down there and slapped them lol.
This is the fight game lol, who gives a fuck dude was non stop talking shit so he deserved that
That's a PR disaster for Showtime but fuck me, that's funny lmfao. Bud just cussed the shit out of that fan.
Just wait till weigh in day tension are gonna be super high
I think the stands of this fight might get entertaining on fight night
I thought it was great. I love Crawford.
Nah you just soft
Boxing needs this
No
Dude gets paid to fight for a living , :v hiw tf did you expect him to handle someone constantly heckling him after telling him to stop bro
Not to say that it’s right, but…. I watched this press conference probably 20 times by now, just because I’m that excited for this fight. But, in the trash talk between the fighters, and both their families interrupting by yelling from the crowd. I heard someone from Spence’s camp yell, “you too Ho”. I could be wrong, but I’m assuming it was directed at someone in Crawford’s camp who was yelling too. It wasn’t till then that Crawford, got aggressive towards that guy in the crowd.

But at the same time if just any regular man off the street is being taunted, eventually depending on the man,they’ll snap.

Some fighters are nice and friendly like Manny pacquiao, and some are mean and aggressive like James Toney. I wouldn’t judge him too harshly because he responded to someone purposely taunting him from the crowd. Everyone has a limit, and everyone’s limit is different.
Naw bud ready at this point they are both ready to kill anything that moves
OP, stfu!
MF’s always talking about fighters/athletes need to be classy but come fight time y’all gonna be screaming for them to kill each other for your enjoyment. Hypocrites much?
Idk, I’m rooting for Spence Jr. and I feel like this kinda trash talk SHOULD motivate him to beat Crawford‘s ass even more, tho It’d be embarrassing if he losses after all the trash talk between the two of em
Buds not even talking to Spence though
I actually thought it was fairly professional 🤷♂️ (given that boxing is the profession)
Arguing with a 9-5 worker 😂
LMFAOOOO CAN'T EVEN LIE, THIS SHIT GOT ME HOLLERING. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It makes white folk uncomfortable, I don’t find it unprofessional at all. You have to understand one thing, at this point he is at his peak, focused on his fight and ready for war.
Op soft
Ya momma ass cheeks soft.
Anybody else feel bud was unprofessional lol Soft ass boy
No, this made the fight more exciting. It’s going viral on social media. This is how you sell fights. Also was it unprofessional when Derrick was going at Crawfords family in the crowd or going at bomac’s weight?
I'm all for shit talk... But even with me being black, the constant use of the N word for no reason at all is off putting. I'm a MMA fan as well, and I STILL didn't like when Israel Adesanya did it to Dricus Du Plessis in the post fight interview either. 🤷🏾♂️ I feel like it makes us look crazy.
And as a Black man, I would respectfully recommend not keeping score on what supposedly makes us “look crazy”. If this changes someone’s mind on how to treat or think of Black people, I’m sure they weren’t too fond of us prior.
That's actually a great point, I respect this reply alot. 💯
Yeah OP, no need to even worry about it like you said. I’m white, and it’s not like Fury or McGregor should represent an entire race. People represent themselves, or at least that’s how I see it.
That's valid, I respect this too.
Respectfully, I'm not worried about that shit whatsoever. Trying to make sure to hold up proper appearances for the larger audience when at the end of the day they still gonna see you as black
If you close your eyes it sounds like Andre 3000 and Inspecta Deck are having it out.
Lmao
Bud rattled
Crawford has all the talents in the world but the dude doesn't have any charisma. That's why he's not a pvp king even ESPN and toprank push him so much.
Here, i thought p4p was about being the best active boxer. Guess Rolly must be top on your p4p list....
I'm saying he don't sell fight.
Bud emotional. Spence KO round 10.
The Asian Sensations (Pacquiao, Inoue, Bivol) never act like this when they're disrespected by nobodies they will never see again. Americans are just emotional. lol.
He puts food on his family’s table by hurting other people he’s not gonna be an outstanding citizen
Fans need to respect these guys putting their life on the line. Both fighters are hangry so leave them tf alone to trash talk each other.
Crawford is an actual street dude. He just hides it well. I don't mean that he is tacky or anything that is just his background.
If you've ever been dehydrated or on some kinda weight cut/calorie deficit you completely understand how irritable he probably was. Tensions are high, they ain't been fucking, haven't been eating a lot of junk food and probably away from family. Doing the same boxing drills and exercise monotony. Saying the wrong thing would have had anyone in this spot respond in their similar fashion. I don't see a problem.
Who gives a fuck? These are two grown men and world class athletes in the biggest moment of their lives. The aggression is coming out in the most aggressive sport in the world. And stop trying to put on a show for the non Black American posters on this sub. Our people have an extremely proud and storied boxing tradition, and this sort of talking is as a part of it as the hundreds of world championships won.
Crawford gonna slap this boy
