Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson Doesn't Believe Spence-Crawford Is a 50/50 Clash, Siding With Crawford

Spence is the one who didn't want it ******! Spence is the A-Side! Boots got 30 fights at 25 years old, and 27 KOs! His time is coming! Deal with it! Boots is best fighter under 30 on the planet! Period!

If Spence didn't want it they woulda stripped him. You fvkcing idiot.

So many people say it’s 50-50 but outside of NSB I haven’t seen a single person picking Spence.

Seems like most anyone who sides with Crawford thinks he’s going to KO Spence.
I don’t see that happening. This is going to the score cards. That said, this is going to be a chess match mixed in with bursts of fighting. Bud likes a slower pace. Bud should know that . Bud also gets hit early by mediocre fighters. I see Spence working those advantages. Spence should jump on Bud early and HARD for maybe a round and see what he can expose. If nothing he should keep the tempo of the fight high and just out work him.
What can Bud do? Just what he always does, and hope Spence runs into something big. I see a fun fight to watch. Good luck to both men. I see a draw coming or a split decision.

Well said. Americans tend to hype their boxers far beyond their achievement. Boots hasn't fought a live dog but some of them have already deemed the best of the division. It's quite premature and ridiculous. The guy surely has potential but it doesn't equate to being the best, he has to prove himself vs live dogs and the elites of the division.

Put Ennis against any British/European WW and they get knocked out in 7 rounds

They won't strip him because Spence vs. Crawford is a "Super Fight," you ****ing idiot! However if Crawford didn't take the fight, why was Option B:Vacate and fight Thurman @ 154? That tells you all you need to know, if you wasn't so ****ing ******!!!

I don’t recall too many people picking Kambosos before he fought Teofimo

The ibf had no idea the fight would get made you fvkcing dumbass. How would they know way back in January when they weren't even in negotiations!? Your blinded by your fangirlism

Because we've seen smaller "HIGHLY SKILLED" fighters go to the higher weight class and win. "Floyd vs. Oscar, Cotto, and Canelo!" Crawford is definitely capable of winning.

Floyd beat a retiring Oscar. Floyd beat a totally beat up Cotto and still couldn't put him away. Pacquiao smashed and stopped Cotto years before . Let's not get on a subject of Floyd. Nobody misses him.

Crawford can win on points. He is a very sound fighter and he's an accurate puncher. But I think Spence has what it takes to win by a surprise stoppage. I call him the Black Terminator. Did anyone see the original movie? The Terminator kept coming and didn't stop. That's Spence. He keeps coming, and he breaks his opponents down. I don't think he's ever been hurt either. If he can handle Crawford's power and can impose his will, Spence will stop Crawford. If it goes 12, I give Crawford an edge to win on points. He's the better boxer.

100%. Terminator/ wrecking ball is exactly what I call Errol and Bud is not stopping him, but he can win on points. I love Crawford but I kinda feel this is more 55/45 in favor of Spence.
