As Teddy Atlas has said, there is something extra with Bud, something special with his intensity. I've lost no respect gor Spence, but I have for his corner. At the last press conference, it seemed like his trainer thought this was all about him. After the second round, I said to my sons that he wasn't being helpful. And it got worse. You shouldn't let your fighter risk career-ending damage like he did.

Bud's jab was like a piston. It was hurting Spence, and knocking him off balance. And off balance is no way to be when Bud is throwing very hard shots behind that jab. His accuracy was intense. Just watching Spence's legs even a few rounds earlier, I could see he was being allowed to take too much punishment. Respect for his brave attempts to fight on.
