Happy for both guys!!!! Both deserve the payday and the limelight. Hopefully the fight will be great and there will be two!!!!

Al Haymon does it again. It took him to make Fury vs Wilder Mayweather vs Pac and now
Spence vs Crawford

Crawford leaving Top Rank is what made this fight happen.

[JLC]

Only person making the offers in this negotiations was Al.Those fights didn’t happen until Al got involved. Now the only promoters not making these type of fights is GBP. They are bad for boxing. PBC makes big fights.
Plant-Canelo
Charlo- Castano
Fury-Wilder
Mayweather-Pacquiao
Ruiz-AJ
Spence-Crawford
Pacquiao-Thurman
Ugas-Spence

big facts. Al is making it happen yet again.

A fight between two fighters who don't really want to fight each other with a rematch guaranteed. Get ready for a very tactical fight with neither fighter willing to put it all on the line.

[hhh1200]

My only concern: it ends in a disputed draw to set up a rematch.

Thank you, Al Haymon. All roads lead to Crawford cleaning the canvas with Spence but the 12 month ice bath might make the fight look like Wilder Fury I which a rigged PBC draw can happen.

In all due respect, I believe they are both moving up to 154 after this fight. There is nothing left for them to prove to keep themselves behind at 147 other than a bunch of hungry young pups who've yet to have proven themselves against the elite welterweights of the division.

Even better then, now the welterweights like Keith Thurman have no excuses to avoid fights against up-and-coming fighters.

Eddie Hearn said that GGG v Canelo is bigger/best...also Rahman vs. Belfort goes the same night (Nov 19), what do we do, we can't watch both?

Hearn is just talking shet. Hardly anyone is talking about canelo vs ggg 3. Rahman vs Belfort may have to come off that date.

[Tag, You're Hit]

Prediction Time!

Will Crawford win? Spence? Will it go the distance? If not, what round does it end and who ends it?

My bold prediction: Unintentional clash of heads in round 3 opens a cut on both fighters and neither is able to continue. Results in a No Contest decision. The biggest let-down in boxing history!

Fight gets postponed until early 2023, maybe.

Man, I hope this joking post doesn't come true!

Hopefully Coppinger has the reliable inside scoop.

Crawford-Spence is the kind of matchup that belongs in the era of fights beyond twelve rounds.

Having said that, excited about Canelo-GGG 3, and a possible Fury-Joshua fight would be thrilling as well.

[champion4ever]

The cynic in me says they are just trying to steal some shine from Canelo/GGG 3 this week by saying it’s close.
If it goes down in November then props to both sides for getting it done.

Well you are not alone in your assessment because at least Eddie Hearn feels that way. He was on social media as we speak shitting all over this fight! It's safe to say that he is unhappy about it and doesn't like this breaking news at all. Not even a little
