Did tonight’s fight change your opinion on potential Spence clash

[AboutBillions]

Spence is finished, that eye injury ends careers mid fight.

Max gave Crawford the 6and 7th and in one of those rounds, he was stunned and holding on for the last 30 seconds of the round. How does a man win a round in which he is outpunched(I don't go by compubox, but from what I see) and clinching without throwing punches after punches are landed on him? Porter should have won no less than 6 of the first 8 rounds

Max Kellerman is a disgrace to the sport the biased clown has an agenda.

If I was Spence, I would not fight Crawford on Top Rank. This fight was so obviously rigged its ridiculous. Porter was winning the fight until the stoppage. Then his dad insults him live stating that his son wasn't ready and didn't trade hard enough.

Crawford didn't look as good as he is hyped up to be. Idk if spence will beat him because the dude looks done with the car accident/eye injury but no way Crawford is P4P King. No way. Crawford looks like he is entering the twilight of his career. Constant grappling, hugging, moving and pot shots made him look horrible.

LOL what fight did you watch? The fight was close either way. The MOMENT Crawford heard it's close on unofficial scorecards he is flabbergasted and literally goes out there and gets an immediate KO. Crawford is on his own level much like Canelo. They turn it on late. Great fight

I still have Spence winning but Bud is dangerous, he could be losing every round and still manage to KO you late in the fight. He’s like a skilled Wilder lol.

Right? That’s what I said a month or two ago. He’s like Wilder a little bit but more skilled.

In a way, I also see a lot of Tommy Hearns there too.

Take Tommy and shrink him into a LW body, he’s practically Terence Crawford.

Anyone who has an IQ more than zero knows that Bud has been chasing that fight from day 1 and Spence been ducking like the plague. We all know who is scared.

Has Bud always had this power?

I don’t remember ever thinking of him as a huge puncher a few years ago.

I think he’s always had good power, and he has a good KO%.

I think because his skills are so evident, people never focused on his power.

Also I suppose some of his more notable fights in the past went the distance, such as Postol, Beltran, his first world title fight v Burns. So maybe people thought he’s only stopping fighters he should be stopping but not hurting more durable fighters.


I think he was killing himself to make the lower weights anyway and maybe has more power at welterweight where he’s not draining himself and that’s why he’s never gone the distance at welterweight.

Yeah. I watched all those fights live and thought he was a sharp puncher but nothing crazy. Now I’m thinking anyone he catches clean he’s seriously hurting. Including Spence who has shown a decent chin.

You got Spence or Crawford?

[Scopedog]

Well, if you're going by using Porter as a measuring stick next to both men I think Crawford came out favourably. He lost some rounds but it never really felt like he was truly out of his comfort zone, and in the end he scored the stoppage. I think Spence struggled more, he was barely in control of the fight and in real danger of losing until he managed to pull away in the last few rounds after scoring that knockdown.

That said I'm not sure using this metric to predict the result of a prospective fight is always wise. I feel like Crawford is a more intelligent and a much more versatile fighter, but Spence has the power, sharpness and physique to pose an incredible threat to anyone, including Crawford. I want to see them fight now more than ever.

Has Bud always had this power?

He was always known for his power though. Big knockout guy. I think that’s why people gravitate towards him so much. Fans love the knock out.

I always felt he wasn’t refined though which is why I didnt think much about him. Power is always cool until it meets an opponent with heart/chin or a brain. Then it’s “he got exposed”.

In a way Crawford still isn’t the most polished boxer but I for sure cannot deny this man does have a high boxing IQ. You can’t make that many adjustments against a real elite boxer and not have high ring IQ. I was proved wrong on that one 100%.

Bud has weaknesses though but he’s going to give any elite boxer hell in order to beat him.
