Alright, clearly these two stand head and shoulder above the rest and are the true P4P caliber fighters of the division, so who wins this one?
I'm rolling with Spence in a 8-4 to 7-5 type of decision and he actually may get a KD as Crawford will risk it and go for the win unlike Garcia.
It would be a toss up fight imo. Spence has power and showed skills tonight whereas Bud on the other hand has a combination of skills, speed and a respectable power.
Crawford 60:40, even Spences own trainer knows it, Spence himself too, thats why only Crawford wants the fight. Spence will fight guys on his side of the street and avoid the fight as long as possible. Bet on it.
What I learned from today's fight is that Spence is a better switch hitter than Crawford.
Crawford has to pull back and reset himself in order to switch stances, and then he gets tagged for the rest of the round and only midthrough the following round does he get comfortable in the new stance.
In the Spence vs Garcia fight Spence was switch hitting mid combination and landing some great punches from both stances. Admittedly he didn't stay long than 30 seconds in the orthodox stance but for the time that he was in the stance he made the most of it.
Before this fight I didn't even know he could switch hit, I'm impressed to say the least because he revealed a new dimension to his game.

Not a fan of Elroid Stench but he would beat another hype job Crookford.
Thurman at his best beat both easily.
And exactly which fight was Thurman at his best that you’d say he could beat Spence? Cuz he obviously doesn’t even believe he can do it.
I think Crawford is a lil better. If you had put Crawford in there with Mikey tonight it would have been the exact same result.
Hey it's a mega showdown, i can respect that man, crawford is great....i would pay to see it
Both guys have looked great beating mismatched opponents, but neither guy has a defining win that clearly showed they were above the rest of the division.

I think Garcia wins a few rounds off of Crawford like Postol and Benavidez did. But after the 6th round it probably does look like this fight. Crawford simply doesn't lose rounds in the 2nd half of the fight....Or he hasn't yet. Spence is bigger and stronger than Crawford and Garcia quickly realized he's also a great boxer and that's when he knew he was completely f'd.
But yeah, Spence and Crawford are levels above the rest.
