Errol Spence is starting to show more and more cracks the closer to fight night this weekend in Australia with Tim Tszyu.
When he was asked about the Terence Crawford fight a few years ago on media day this week he snapped.
He preferred not to talk about it.
This shows he is not mentally there as if he was he would address that and look to put that fight demon to bed with the media on the eve of the comeback this weekend.
Tim Tszyu must be looking at this fight with even more eager fists now.
Some points on this on Errol Spence going into the fight this weekend:
- Snapped at reporters asking about Crawford – shows the 2023 loss still haunts him .
- Admitted he “wasn’t physically ready” for Crawford – carrying regret and excuses .
- Still making excuses (injury, weight) – gives Tszyu a mental blueprint to exploit .
- Said he “dreads” media obligations – distracted and irritated heading into fight week .
- Refuses to shake Tszyu’s hand – letting trash talk get under his skin .
- Grew a rat tail (Kostya Tszyu’s style) – claims coincidence but shows fixation on Tszyu legacy .
- His own trainer was “shocked” he barely sparred for Crawford – past poor preparation now public .
- Told fans they “should have reservations” – admits doubts about his own comeback .
- Tszyu questioned his motivation (“how many holidays?”) – Spence’s angry reaction proves it hit a nerve .
- Advantage Tszyu – Spence is mentally shaky; Tszyu is locked in with home crowd and confidence.
