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

[JakeTheBoxer]

Spence beats Crawford IMO. He is more experienced welterweight.

I'm team Bud all day. Especially seeing how they're giving him 35%, that's so disrespectful. I wanted him to win anyway, but now I want him to get the knockout, and by doing so, knock out the whole "other side of the street" selfish, diva business model that is destroying boxing. But having said all that, I hope whoever wins, will look in Jaron "Boots" Ennis' direction and treat him with same respect that they would want, if they were younger and trying to have a breakout fight. Somebody please fight the young master and give him a shot. Don't keep avoiding fighters while saying they haven't fought anyone, its really stinking out the game, for real

Really.
It's that what it took for Bub to get Spence in the ring with him.
Thats disgraceful.
Hope he knocks him put and gives him 35 percent in the rematch.
we all know now who wanted this fight and who was trying to get it blocked.
Disappointing from Spence.

hmm…bulking up withSNAC. No wonder it took so long. Will there be serious drug testing in contract?

All past their prime. Brook was already beaten by GGG, broken socket, and the wieght Change. Crawford beat Porter and Brook in a better fashion.

If Brook was past prime when Errol beat him, then what was he when Bud beat him 3 years and another broken orbital bone later?

Bud has skills, but his resume is trash for a 34 year old supposed P4P #1.

All the numbers are in Spence's favor (belts, ticket sales, PPV sales.)

Is Trash and he still beats a younger Errol. He still P4P above Errol.

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.

These are two key factors in this fight. They will probably be key to the outcome. If Spence gets caught reaching by Crawford ... that might be Spence's only vulnerability whereby he could get hurt. Otherwise, the question of whether Crawford can take the ****ing he is going to get from Spence and hold up for the entire fight?

I believe whoever answers both those questions the best will win. I think Spence will have the best answers, but there is definitely no guarantee. Each guy has paths to win and paths to lose. This will be a great fight either way. And a rematch too? Wow!

I agree these are the main key to winning for either guy. Which guy will shore up his respective flaw and keep mistakes to a minimum.

I don't think a rematch will happen even if the first match is fireworks and the fans demand they run it back. Al Haymon didn't wanna make this fight to begin with,he wanted Spence vs Thurman.

LoL @ the mind-readers always talking about what Al Haymon wants or don't want. Never seen so many psychics in my life. Ofcourse, all of that talk is worthless speculation. Haymon's work per the boxers centers on them making good investments with their earnings, and having a good life in the long term. Until he comes out and says, "I want this " or "that to happen", it's really just a fantasy for you guys to talk about what Al Haymon wants. Time for a reality check.

I think folks are severely underestimating Spence's boxing skills. Also, Bud has well defined orbital bones, if you pick up what I'm putting down.
