I feel like I'm the only one who is not as high on the fight as everyone else. I feel like after round 4 Crawford is gonna dominate Spence. Crawford has too much movement for Spence with his limited footwork.
Spence has proven to be elite by beating elite opponents in his last two fights. We have never seen Crawford in with that level of fighter hence he's never been in a close fight. Right now I would pick the more SKILLED and proven fighter Spence without hesitating.
True Keith. Errol has faced adversity while Bud destroys Canelo & Spence's leftovers. Not impressed @ Crawford is 33 years old nearing 34. EJ 31 & pretty well rounded

Spence's best chance is a round 1 KO, Crawford is a bit show to start, he likes to work his opponent out and this leads casuals to think that Crawford is not as good as he is. But Spence would make a show of it compared with those who have 'fought' Crawford before, Horn took him the furtherest but never looked like winning
It will be a competitive close fight. I can see a split decision going to Crawford. Spence is too stiff and slow to get off fluid well-timed punches. Crawford will simply use the same game plan against Spence that he had against Postol.
So after 4 it could be 3-1 Spence...and then 5-12 could be 6-2 or 5-3 Crawford? That's an even fight.
Crawford has looked too human at 147, and Spence too solid, to say this is an easy win for Crawford.
I think the first 4 rounds are competitive and then after that, it is all Crawford and possible late stoppage.
