    Crawford only has a hail mary type shot out of nowhere chance to win. Spence is the truth.

        I think Spence is really tight at the weight and its possibly taking a little from his punch resistance. I also thought his defense was very sloppy vs Ugas and he didn't really adjust.
        I think it could have been really interesting if Ugas let his hands go a bit more. I felt the odd time he threw more than 2 shots he was giving Spence all sorts of problems.

        Another reason I favoured Spence was previously I thought he seemed a much bigger puncher than he actually is. Great engine but rather mediocre power
        Breaking orbital bones is not mediocre power, Ugas is tough and Errol laid a hard beating on him I bet Ugas is pissing blood for a week, Errol's aggression is why he was a little open, he was zoned into man down nothing else mattered, I think he will be much tighter fighting somebody like TC than Ugas, but by the same token if he is in TC face from the get-go it will be interesting who breaks first, they both have qualities that the other doesn't have, the time is right for Errol he is in the zone and that fight after all he has been through will pump him up no end, I always though TC would beat him easy Im not so sure now Errol is rejuvenated and back, we now have a fight.

          Funny you mention Ward-Kovalev. Ward came into the first fight kind of timid and got dropped. After that, he upped his aggression and clawed his way back into the fight.

          In the 2nd fight Ward bullied the bully. He had no fear of Sergey's power and took the fight to him from bell to bell.

          Who's the bully in Spence-Crawford? I guess we'll see.

            Crawford by close decision maybe a draw if he starts slow and gives aways the first few rounds like always

              I just see Spence's work rate and tenacity taking over in the championship rounds.

              I could also see Crawford setting up traps to end it late, as well.

              Picking Spence, in a FOTY candidate.

                - - Better odds they don't fight because Craw ain't taking 40%. Keeping it real vs pie in the sky always the best bet.

                  I cant see Crawford winning on points I think TC gets a stoppage win or Spence wins on work rate, Errol has the ability to stop him if he finds home for his body work, TC is athletic but he also likes to trade, its a great fight with both guys prime and its to unify all 4 belts at WW making it a history making fight also.

                    Mikey Garcia, Danny Garcia and Booster Porter all go 12 with Spence but Crawford will be unable to based on some of the comments I'm reading. Must be the twilight zone around here.

                    Ugas on one fight night became prime Erislandy Lara, the guy who beat Williams and Canelo (I go by my eyes, not rigged cards) when in reality he was literally the stepping stone for up and coming undefeated fighters. Tha pretty much explains is real skill level. I guess people missed that one.

                    Johny Garcia 11-0
                    Emanuel Robles 9-0
                    Amir Iman - 13-0
                    Booster Porter - is not a prospect but had Ugas leaking all over the ring

                    Espinoza is literally in an interview trying to come up with excuses, not to fight Crawford this year.

                    Not processing how people can't see they are trying to age Crawford out of his prime, or is someone telling me all the fighters above are superior to Crawford?

                      I think Spence wins... But I have flip flopped on my pick a few times... Spence vs Crawford is the best fight in the world right now!!!
