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

A head injury is something that no one truly heals from. You may look and appear to be normal, but no one knows what really going inside there.

Spence has shown absolutely nothing that would indicate this.

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.

Floyd beat Oscar and Cotto WITHOUT A CATCHWEIGHT! Manny beat Cotto @ 145, and Oscar @ 147! Let's not go there! Floyd was "highly skilled," just like Pernell Whitaker, and Crawford has the chance to get on that level on July 29th!

This is as much of a 50/50 fight as Canelo-Plant was. Spence's only slight advantages are a slightly better chin and a more dedicated body attack. Bud washes him in every other category. If Earl thinks the head down threshing attack will get to Crawford, he's sadly mistaken.

There is no way it was a 50/50 fight between Canelo and Plant. I expected Canelo to win by stoppage all the way.....and he did. Canelo hand picked Plant for a couple of reasons - one was to unify, and the other was he knew he could beat him.

Spence VS Crawford is a much harder fight to figure out on paper.

I was being facetious with Canelo-Plant. It went right over your head. Crawford-Spence is not hard to figure out at all. All you have to do is look at the foot movement and finishing ability of each fighter. That will tell the story.

Oh. My bad. You actually see this fight as being one-sided with Crawford winning hands down. He's the better boxer, but Spence is very sound. If this clash ends up being a walk in the park as you predict, I'll tip my had towards you.
