So it's almost time for the big fight and I was wondering what BS thinks will be the winner.
I got Spence myself. He looks like a tank, gave Floyd a black eye and has the relentless pressure, very close fight, SD Spence.
Who you got?
I’m hoping and definitely want Spence to pull it off, but feel like Crawford might win it. Spence has a better story for sure and looks more relatable to me.
Crawford, has superior speed and footwork, Ugas was countering Spence nicely and I think Crawford can do that but with more zing on his shots so Spence just can't march forward and throw all night.
Cannot wait for the fight.
I quite heavily favour Crawford.
He is more athletic and skilled, better counterpuncher, a little slicker. I think Spence is very solid, a good all rounder but a little no-thrills. I suspect Crawford will be too 'cute' for him.
Then you factor in the injuries and all the unknowns, inactivity, whether Spence can still even make WW healthy.
I can see Spence making it close but I am not really seeing a clear path to victory for him.
I give Bud the edge, but would be happy if Spence wins. I think Bud will start slow but will come on later in the fight, hurting Spence with shots he doesn't see coming.
The time for Spence to fight Crawford was when he first moved up to 147.
Now, it's too late.
Crawford's a full 147lber & will knock him out in the 10th round.
I was always 50-50 but as the fight nears close, I have Spence by competitive UD. I think he’ll beat Crawford in a blue collar, workman fashion with fundamentals and volume. Bud might have moments but I think he’ll get behind on the rounds.
I voted for Spence and the poll became 50/50 to my surprise.
Look, Spence should be the betting favorite, not Crawford.
Hype sets the odds and TC has been hyped like a God by the media, we will know the true betting fav right before the fight.
I want Spence but got Crawford. If that makes sense
It does, it is the opposite for me.
Crawford is the more talented boxer, but it may not be enough against a solid, tough and bigger guy in Spence.
Spence. Too big, too strong, superior jab.
Somehow I don't think size is going to come into it TC is very strong and looking at his conditioning with Snac he is more pumped up than Ive seen him before, he has that JMM look that nearly killed Manny to him, and during the Porter fight TC had parts where he manhandled Porter physically with sheer strength, they have been saying for years how big Spence is yet his fights don't show that, I don't think TC is going to have a Ugas stand in front approach which will nullify physical strength. I see TC boxing moving and using angles with spurts of aggression looking for single pinpoint sniper shot.
Im still on the fence and cant pick, I can see either winning.
Been saying for years Crawf. I still say it but think Bud will do it in 10. No matter what way it goes Im just glad its happening. This what boxing should be all about. May the best man win.
