Heavyweight division is a disaster right now. The lower classes are the hottest they've been in a looooong time and the big boys can't even get their pants on in the morning. Dillian getting retired might be a crippling blow for a struggling division if there was anything left to cripple. Chisora feels like the only decent option that actually has a chance of happening. Don't really think it's PPV worthy, though. Since it's AJ, I'm sure it will do fine numbers in the UK.

With how this fight turned out, do we think a rematch, even at 154, is necessary or interesting? They
"Styles make fights" -- Everybody I'm having a hard time seeing Spence changing up his style enough to deal with Bud's absurd adaptability. Bud also looked very physically strong, I don't think the extra 7 pounds will give Spence the mass to power through what Bud was dishing out. Most importantly, Crawford was effortlessly controlling the balance game on the inside, which is where Spence has historically dominated with weight-shifting frames leading into steady, thumping combos that wear people down. How does Spence realistically adjust to take the W?
Oh I'll watch it, make no mistake. His taunt of Charlo mid-fight was the stuff legends are made of, too. I'd love to see him give Boots a boxing lesson before moving up, though. I adore Boots' style and think he'd benefit massively from the experience and exposure, but it's bit of a lose-lose for Bud to take. But what a fight it would be!
