“There was the accident and the injuries and it made me understand that boxing is a lifestyle, 365 days (a year) and I gotta keep training, stay focused..."
and....
“It (his ranch) gives me stuff to do,” Spence said. “I was fighting two times a year, so I have a lot of time to myself. I’ve got five, six months where I’m not doing nothing. I’m not training, I’m not fighting. So, I have a lot of off time to do whatever I want to do."
However both of these statements can't be true as they contradict each other. If Spence wants to have any hope of beating Crawford his first statement is the one that better be true.
Good fight but Hearn's given Benn a pretty easy fight against Van Heerden, whose record since Spence schooled + ko'd him has been an A to Z of guys who've been picked to give him wins usually smaller guys. The one elite guy Van Heerden has fought since the Spence loss 7 years ago was his last fight which ended in a N/C after a head butt in the first round vs Jaron Ennis who was expected to win that fight so hes now being fed to Benn.
