    Lara fights nothing like Crawford.

    Crawford is an agressive switch hitter who can box and brawl

    he ain't no running n' pot shotting joint stinker like Lara is

    and Hurd is basically black Margarito

    no defense having plodder, who relies on his chin and stamina to try to overwhelm his opponents

    Spence is way above him in terms of skill
    Lara is actually more "technical" than Crawford. I don't think that Crawford would've beaten a prime Canelo or Paul Williams. Spence is a level or two above Hurd, I will agree with that

      Just because they know how to do that doesn't mean this fight won't be a chess match type fight, man.

      I definitely won't be surprised if it turns out that way at all.

        Ugas beat Porter? I wasn’t aware of this. I thought Ugas lost a decision to Shawn Porter in a close fight.

            Yes I will have to revisit the fight. I saw it once live but my memory fails me right now.

                I just got done watching Lara and Hurd (fight of the year) and It had me thinking about a potential bout between Crawford and Spence. Like Lara, Crawford is a great southpaw, with great timing and counterpunching. And like Hurd, Spence is a great pressure fighter with an elite jab, chin, and inside game. Now, Crawford may be the better fighter but Lara is the more technical boxer ( better footwork, jab, and a little better at judging distance and can fight in all ranges). And Spence is basically Hurd 2.0 with more power and he does everything at a higher level than Hurd. I could see this fight ending very similar with Crawford trying to fight Spence but in the end endurance, pressure, consistent jab, strength, and power will win the day.

                To compare Lara to Crawford is a stretch, then again so is Hurd to Spence.
