Wife is predicting 8 rounds. Haven't been this geeked for a sporting event since the Huskers were really good at football! GBB!!

OT: Bud in 10...
- Thread starter ZaneHickey
- Start date
Pretty cool that, with a win tomorrow, he could rightly be considered to be in the same company as Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler, The "Motor City Cobra" Thomas Hearns, etc. One of the most elite athletes to come from Nebraska, regardless of sport.

The only one I can member is:
He had a few hits I enjoyed in the 90s. I mostly heard em on Casey Casem's American Top 40.
Zoinks!! RIP, Legend! We'll never solve the mystery without you and Scoob.
Befriended a new guy at work. Gave him **** because he was a Niners fan (Raiders fan here). He says he's from San Fran. Go a little deeper. He's from Omaha. Went to school with Johnny Rogers at Omaha Tech. He is cousins with Crawford. He also wrestled for NU for a couple of years in the the early 70's. Joined the Navy and was deployed to the Med on a similar ship as mine. Needless to say, he's a Husker fan. Been trying to get him up to speed on Coach Rhule. Dude is in great physical shape. 71 years old. Really good guy.
Bud is the modern Tommie Hearns in my eyes. He is a switch hitter that enjoys mixing it up and getting dirty. Bud's main negative is he often gets way behind in the scorecards early in the fight as he measures out his opponent. Bud is often behind on the scorecards after six or seven rounds, but he is figuring his opponent out. He is really smart. The second half of his fights are often the exact opposite. Bud is delivering his opponent a three piece combo over and over. I suspect tomorrow night will be the same. Bud will look vulnerable early and eat a few punches. Round five or six, he will turn it around and start punishing Spence. Bud KO in nine. Dude is a savage.

I thought Bud would be the easy choice… then I watched a few of Spence’s fights, and it will not be easy.
Bud does move a bit better, but Spence is tough. Bud takes a 12 round decision IMO

Dang. Before the fight, the daughter picked 9. Chicken dinner.
What an historic beat down! Re-match?? Not sure that would be much of a draw. Spence is just not nearly as good as Bud. Very simple and now super-clear. Go Omaha!
