Tim Bradley says it’s a bad idea for Errol Spence Jr. To get out of the pension to Vergil Ortiz jr. To fight next. He believes that the 35-year-old former Unified Welterweight champion Spence (28-1, 22 COs), with neurological symptoms two years ago in 2023 in his fight against Terence Crawford, would have no chance to Vergil jr.
Spence’s health, inactivity concern
Physically, Spence has looked down in his three fights since his car accident in 2019. He made things worse by staying out of the ring for long periods between the fights.
Spence’s inactivity since 2019
- Shawn Porter in September 2019 to Danny Garcia (December 2020): 14 months
- Danny Garcia (December 2020) to Yordinis Ugas (April 2022): 16 months
- Yordenis Ugas (April 2022) to Terence Crawford (July 2023): 15 months
Spence reportedly has a net worth of $ 15 million, which is much less than current young fighters like Ryan Garcia. A collision for Vergil jr. Will pay well if Turki Alalshikh was involved.
“I hear Spence is (come out of pension). Errol Spence, don’t come back unless you need the money. You don’t need it. You don’t need. You’ve done enough already, ‘Tim Bradley said on his channeland respond to the rumors of the former Unified Welterweight Champion Errol Spence Jr.
It is understandable why Spence now wants to return to the ring. He probably noted the money paid by Turki Alalshikh fighters, and also wanted to participate in the action. A Comeback match against Vergil Ortiz jr. Pay even better in 2023 than his last one against Terence Crawford. Errol carried that promotion as the big star, as Crawford was not as popular as now, thanks to Turki.
Why Spence ‘Turki Money’ needs
“In the end, it will be your decision, such as Manny Pacquiao, and everyone else, From the woodwork and looking for that Turki money. If you need the money, I understand it, but for your health, “Bradley said.” We are no fools. We saw your gate, which means your nervous system, as it was before you fought against Crawford. “
Spence was a millionaire from his fight against Crawford. Unless he blows money in the two years he was out of the ring, he still has to be quite rich with more than enough dough to live in Texas for the rest of his life. He bought a large 60 -acre farm in Desoto, Texas, after his car accident after his fight against Shawn Porter in 2019.
Neurological issues continue for Spence
“It’s not going away. You can keep it down for a moment, but it will come back immediately, ‘Tim says about Spence’s neurological problems. “You probably feel good, walk around, practice and things, take care of yourself. Keep it that way, because when you get into the ring with Vergil Ortiz, it’s not good, man. He’s going to turn you into a pair of chicken knots. That man is nothing to play with, man. ‘
It would be a bad step for Errol to come back and jump straight into a dangerous fight against the WBC junior middleweight champion, Vergil Ortiz Jr. Even with one or two warm-up fights, the 27-year-old Ortiz jr. Be a risky step for Spence. If he was in the middle until late 20s, he would be against Vergil jr. Combat, it would not be a problem, and he would probably give up his power. But at 35 it is not a good fight that would end up for Errol.
Spence no longer “big fish”
“I know you were the big fish. You are no longer the big fish, Bro. You may be one of those guppies, man, but you are no longer no longer, ‘Bradley says of Errol. “Don’t try to come back, wear your heart on your sleeve, try to prove things to everyone that you don’t need. When you come back, you have to do it better. Get yourself a voice. Absolutely. Do it that way. ‘
Spence has never been the type that has been after his long interruptions since 2019. For his last three fights, he was out of action for more than a year, and his performance levels seemed to look to the point, where he was like a faded shell for his attack against Crawford in 2023. Some fans have the physical physical physical risk in the fight in the car accident in October 2019. And not life live by staying in shape.
Bradley bet on Ortiz jr. Victory
‘When you come back and fight for Ogil Ortiz, I put money on Vergil Ortiz. He’s going to stop you, Spence. I promise you, ‘says Bradley.
It would be a more difficult battle for Spence to come back at 35 against Vergil jr. As his last match against Terence Crawford. Ortiz jr. Is much younger, hit harder than Bud and will apply uninterrupted pressure against Spence. He has not fought such a person since his collision against Shawn Porter six years ago in 2019. Ortiz jr. Is a larger puncher and would throw many more shots than Porter did.
