Comments Thread For: James Toney On Spence-Crawford: "Spence Is Good Fighter But He's Gonna Get Knocked Out!"

[Knuckle sandwich]

Both fighters throw good quality body shots, we hopefully will get to see what one wears out out first

[ShoulderRoll]

How is Crawford going to knock Spence out if he's pricing himself out of the fight?

[Nightfall]

I hope not. I can still see Crawford getting a stoppage though.

Spence has a high guard defense and can shoot the jab with speed and power from that position. At some point Crawford will have to brawl and that's when he's cooked

[Jack_sh*t]

Makes me sad seeing people mocking Toney for his slurred speech. Dude got punched way too many times for your entertainment, now you think it's funny to take the p.i.s.s. outta him. Maybe you didn't have so many brain cells to start with.

True, that's kinda why I worded it the way I did. Crawford was still getting to him though and based on that performance I wouldn't be surprised if could get a stoppage against Spence one way or another.

You don’t need to agree with any of the desperate false narratives that Spence fans try to spin to discredit Crawford in attempts to help Spence save face. Crawford stopped Porter. It doesn’t need to be explained or worded any differently than that unless you’re looking for an excuse for Spence not doing the same thing when he fought him. Crawford has outperformed Spence against common opponents. Its as simple as that unless you’re splitting hairs for Errol Spence.

Crawford is undoubtedly the superior boxer, who can adjust and think on his feet, Spence is one seriously tough fighter, Crawford will want the stoppage against Spence, I see Crawford stopping Spence late in the fight,, it will be a dog fight both men getting hurt

I truly believe that this fight could go either way. I do agree however that Crawford will be more likely to be the one who isn’t focused on scoring points and more looking to hurt Spence. Spence has more of an amateur style and he will be thinking about out pointing Crawford just as much as he’s trying to hurt him. I hope Crawford’s instinct to want to hurt his opponent doesn’t work against him because Spence does have the willingness to try to win ugly to where as Crawford seems to only be satisfied with winning in tremendous fashion. I prefer Crawford’s attitude over Spence’s. And I can’t stand how petty, dishonest and materialistic a lot of Errol Spence fans/accountants are.

Good points well made.


I wonder how well Spence can get his jab going against Crawford? No doubt Crawford will try and take this away from him to a degree, Brook managed to land plenty while the fight lasted

My heart thinks Spence will win. My brain can see this fight going many different ways, with many different possible outcomes .... including KO's going either way. Neither of these guys have been broken as a professional or amateur. Hard to see either getting broken now in their primes. But everything is possible in this fight. Both are suprememly confident with skills tapped and untapped. This fight is definitely Leonard/Hearns, Leonard/Duran level good. It will be a fight-fan's treat.

I think Spence's body is still re-finding itself after that car accident. He looked vulnerable at times in both the Garcia fight and the Ugas fight. That indomitable spirit though.

Crawford has just as much of that spirit too. And even more arrogance. LoL, somebody better beat the other into submission, or this fight may never end ... come to think of it .... they will probably need more than 12 rounds to settle this.

But there could be a KO ....

The funny thing about your response is that Toney arguably perfected the shoulder roll in his prime and didn't really take a lot of shots to the head. One of the defensive fighters.

He's always had some level of slurring. I remember when he called in on Eubank and Benn, you couldn't half understand him then, and he was still young. (those fights should have happened. Obviously Eubank admitted ducking Toney and Jones, but still).
