To be honest, Spence should beat Crawford comfortably

[SweetPbfAli]

I think Spence will beat him so loud, that it won`t be even funny.

Spence is bigger, stronger, more experienced at that weight, with a superior jab.

I don`t see any way how Crawford wins this. And Spence is not that damaged, we have seen that in Ugas fight.

The bold is speculation. People have just assumed the naturally larger guy is the stronger guy. Crawford has a wrestling background and there are multiple videos floating around of him doing so and he's clearly strong as hell. Also, Spence imposes himself with pressure but not really physicality. I'm willing to bet that Crawford will be the stronger in the clinches of there are some.

About the clinches, Spence over the last two fights has been much more willing to accept clinches than in the past.

Ugas fight as no bearing on the Crawford fight. Completely different styles. Hell, Ugas doesn't even use lateral movement. That was the worst gameplan that I've seen for a Spence opponent.

I was picking Bud until I saw the face to face. Spence looked like 2 divisions bigger.

For those who hate Crawford, why do you think Spence is the underdog? Any comment on this?

Maybe cos spence has been reckless out of ring. I mean when pac signed to fight spence it was seen as pac cherrypicking a car accident victim.

The guy not only has a wrestling background but deadlifted 455 lbs off season that's a 3x bw and he's not even a powerlifter. That's insane

Maybe 2 fights in at 147 the weight would have mattered. He’s 7 fights in with 7 KOs. He manhandled Jeff Horn his first fight at the weight, who’s despite being a shít boxer, is a big strong guy. The weight won’t matter. Although my money is also on Spence.

I have a hard time picturing how it goes. first few rounds i think they will be cautious. both get hit and both been wobbled.

spence is bigger but dont expect it to play much difference, crawford is a full size welter now and can fight at 154 if he wants. he was gigantic at 135 so dont read much into the size difference. crawford got the trickier angles and is more skilled.

I tend to agree with this! I believe the angles and the superior punch selection may be what pushes Bud to the win. I don’t think EJ seems to think much about Bud’s ability to apply strength at such short distances with those angles. If you notice EJ has a tendency to fight on the front foot, and lunge, that may be his undoing

Inactivity will be the difference. No way around it, you can’t fight at an elite
level with months of inactivity. Especially against a fighter as talented and determined as Spence.

I think both at their best, I leaned Crawford, but with that much inactivity it’s impossible
to be at your best.

Spence by 10th rd TKO.

Floyd did.

I doubt either guy wins this fight comfortably. Only an idiot would think otherwise

I forgot about that. If I recall, he wasn't even in workout clothes lol.

[MulaKO]

I expect Bud to win in a war. He's the better, more skilled fighter. I'd have picked him even against pre-crash Spence.
War Bud!

This ^^^^^^^ right here is my sentiment exactly
Bud will shut all sayers with a hard fought victory imo
