    SPENCE Beats Crawford, here’s why! Stagnant striking won’t beat ACTIVITY

    All Spence has to do is throw the jab all night. Similar to how GGG did to Canelo. That activity tricks fans. since Crawford primarily relies on counter punching and drowning out time/rounds with his pawing and wide stance, Spence just needs to do the same. Spence too knows how to do a wide stance and not really commit offensively. That’s how he zero’d out Mikey.

    I think Spence vs Crawford will be a boring fight and you won’t see guys committing to really take the fight to the other, just counter punching but most of the time just wasting time waiting for each other to strike.

    Spence is a unified Champion so he’ll get more benefit of doubt from the judges.

    Spence definitely can take advantage of the low activity that Crawford displays at times. Porter was winning rounds where he wasn't even too effective but Crawford was not throwing much in return and would just cover up on the inside. Spence gets busy on the inside and will look to land harder shots....But obviously Crawford has his advantages in that fight as well. Quicker hands and feet, very good counter puncher and longer reach.

    Folks are out of their mind thinking it is a forgone conclusion that Bud wins that fight.

      Terence issue is he a slow starter

      gives away the first quarter of fights

      this would cost him VS a very good fighter where it goes the distance

        It will be a boring fight. The context is P4P. I assure you Spence and Crawford won’t commit like greats of the past, like Duran vs SRL or Hagler vs Hearns. The last fight to do that was Canelo vs GGG series where guys aren’t afraid to FIGHT…

        I See It! Spence was careful with Mikey. Bud was careful with Porter. Porter went 12 with Formella and Granados… i dunno. I’m just surprised how much hype was put into Crawford.

          Lomachenko has only done that once, not committing in a fight, and that was against Lopez. Crawford been doing that for most of his career. That style will take a toll as he moves up against stronger fighters

            Don't be silly, Crawford is the goods. He stopped a tough proud man in Porter and adjusted towards the last few rounds.

            They will commit, but will pick their spots. It won't be exactly Trinidad vs DLH but it's not going to be Hagler vs Hearns either. But no one will feel disappointed after watching the fight. It's going to be tense, high class, competitive and it will have its fair share of fireworks. Fight won't disappoint like how you are alluding.

              Formella and Granados threw more than Crawford.

                That's fine, they damn sure did not throw more damaging shots than Crawford.....Crawford will pick his shots but he's landing some clean, crisp counters and doing serious damage with them. His body attack was on point and it led to Porter getting frustrated and sloppy.

                  And again, that conservative fighting doesn’t rank him above Canelo or Inoue.

                    Spence and Bud is 50/50 because the fight will be more emotional than anything. This will be the reincarnation of Hagler-Hearns.
