Comments Thread For: Crawford On Spence: "This Is The Fight Where It Leaves No Doubt Whatsoever About Crawford And His Skills"

Crawford will easily beat Spence. He's a Much better fighter than most of the current day brain dead fans give him credit for. And although a good fighter-Spence isn't as good as people think.

Not that I'm complaining...the less educated make the betting odds just right for those that are really In the know. Easy money.

Now Spence could last the 12rds on sheer pride and willpower alone and Al can rob Crawford on the cards, I've seen worse happen.. it is boxing after after all. But I'm taking Crawford by TKO 8th round. 10th round tops.

I doubt it. Spence is one of the most talented fighters in the world. He has a great, long jab, excellent body shots, throws combinations in bunches, and good defense. He uses in and out movement, creates and closes distance, and can box or **** depending on the circumstances. He's the bigger man and I think he will break Bud down. I like and respect Crawford, but I've seen him hurt too many times by lesser fighters, like Gamboa and Kavaliauskas, to take Spence's volume of punches for 12 rounds. Especially since Errol's stamina is legendary.

Both men deserve half, even split. The belts mean little these days. It’s about who is who.
im going with Crawford on points with no knockdowns. He will stay out of a dog fight and just tie spence up if he comes in.
crawford by clear points win.

If Inoue smokes Fulton and becomes undisputed at 122 ??

Yeah, you got me there! That's a tough one! I'd probably still go with Bud, because Errol Spence Jr. is a tougher opponent than Fulton!

I see Ortiz vs Ennis as the next super fight at ww. I favor Ennis but Ortiz has a good chin from what I see. If he can take a flush shot from Ennis and keep coming forward it might get interesting. I'd say it 55/45 Ennis atm but that could change.

Ortiz' remaining time at 147 is limited.

Lol “legendary” not quite there just yet. He beat an on fire gambol don’t forget and he can ****. They can all **** but Crawford in my view has real a better boxing brain than spence at this stage. Inevitably both will improve and I see there being a second fight here, I see Crawford sailing this one by a few points. I don’t really care for spence, he point blank refused to give kell Brook a deserved rematch following their fight which saw spence losing u til the eye damage. It was a stoppage where kells eye gave out and for a title. Post fight he said he would rematch and then backed well away from it probably from advice of his trainer. I also think showtime Shaun porter beat him or atleast, got a draw.

True, true. But how is Bud's chin, can he take Spence's body punches?

Buds chin has been tested. And I think Spence only lands those viscous body shots when guys shell up right in front of him or on the ropes. Terrence doesn’t fight like that.

You make some good points. I’m only judging him off his WW resume if he were to beat TC. I can’t say if he’ll use CW in the future but as of now he hasn’t and that’s impressive. I’m only speaking on current resumes. So do you agree that Spence will have the best resume in boxing if he beats Crawford?

I would say he is tied with Canelo at that point, he'd be the best WW in the sport since Floyd Mayweather. Are you picking him to beat Crawford by the way?

I predict a kd or a late ko in Crawford’s favor. He’s got that weird sneaky power where he drops or buzzes guys with punches that don’t even look hard.

and I’ve seen Spence buzzed badly by both Porter and Ugas. 2 guys that nobody rates as big punchers. And to be quite honest I can’t recall Spence ever fighting any big punchers. He’s got a good chin but we have yet to find out if it’s a great chin

Well, we know that Bud's chin isn't great. Kavaliauskas dropped him and Gamboa had his legs wobbling, and neither one of them is close to a Porter or Ugas. Spence will drop him at least once.

Wow - RickyD sounds really scary. Spence fought nothing but in-house fights also. Most notable fights are in order Kell Brook - who GGG damn near killed and in one night ended his career (and was one point down in 11th round against Spence). Mikey Garcia - a career #130 pounder who had no business at lightweight much less junior welterweight much less welterweight. Shawn Porter - I’m a big fan of Shawn’s, good strong fighter great motor and very close split decision (which I thought Porter outworked Spence). Next Danny Garcia - the less talented but slightly larger of the Garcias. Very good at lightweight, above average at junior welterweight and averse at welterweight. Always came up short in big fights. Lastly Ugas- who I rate as a good (although five losses) but limited fighter which was a bit of a cherry pick.

Ugas had a belt from damn near killing Pacquiao.

Solid points for sure.

I'd say Spence is more athletic and physically bigger. But Bud used to wrestle competively and is much stronger than his frame and move up in weight would indicate. Plus he's had time to grow into the weight class properly. The fact that he was manhandling jeff horn(considered a big welterweight) in his first fight at the weight class told me all I needed to know.

Spence has a better jab And throws straight shots with more authority, but he tends to reach alot with his shots and leaves himself open to alot of counters. Bud will absolutely capitalize on this flaw.

Bud can control distance but he doesn't always do it as well as he could and tends to wanna go "tit-for-tat" when he gets caught. His first instinct is to get you back after getting tagged with a good shot. This Is Bud's major flaw and Spence absolutely could catch him with something that puts him down.

Spence has been hurt before. It was pretty obvious in the Ugas fight. He was slightly buzzed once or twice in the Danny Garcia fight too.

I could go on but don't wanna make this too long. My gut tells be Crawford stops him. So much so that I'm gonna lay down A few hundred.
