Comments Thread For: Spence Promises One-Sided Ass Whooping: Crawford Is A Great Fighter But Hasn't Fought Anybody

Yes, it's dangerous for both, but more so for Bud. I don't know if Crawford is the better counter puncher or not. Spence uses counters all the time while breaking his opponent down. Bud gets reckless with his hand placement during his counters, which leaves multiple opening for Errol to clock him. Look at how many times Porter and many of his opponents snapped his head back during counters, but Spence has much heavier hands than them, and follows those head shots with body blows. Errol also stays defensively responsible during these exchanges.

Bud is definitely the better counter puncher. This isn't even debatable lol. Spence leads more than anything but he can occasionally catch and shoot a la Danny Garcia. You can't mention Crawford getting caught and not mention 5he same happening to Spence. You're letting your emotion cloud your judgement. I like both fighters but can acknowledge the strengths and weaknesses of both.

Pay attention to when Spence does his usual left hook, right hook body combo and where his head is at when he does it. Most of his opponents shell up in those situations but Crawford throws in those situations. Bookmark this and keep an eye out for it. Crawford gets hit because he is an aggressive counter puncher, it comes with the territory.

Also, the way Spence places his hands when defensive always leaves him vulnerable for a right hook, swivel jab combo from the southpaw stance.

I could go on but I think I made my point.

Bud has never been down or even close. You Spence STANs are hilarious. After July 29th, I expect you guys to vanish or change your handles...kinda like Floyd Patterson after he got starched by Liston. I just pray that Night Rider doesn't have anymore auto mishaps in the next six weeks.

So, I guess he wasn't close to going down when his glove touched the canvas and his legs started doing Jamaican dances when Mean Machine chin checked him? Talk about Stans, to you it just didn't happen, even though everyone saw it.

I forgot that Ugas did beat Porter. Man! I hope Spence KO’s Crawford.
I know it’s going to be a tough outing for both guys but …

The Cleveland Browns have a better shot at winning the SB. A lot better.

Dreams are nice , but then it's back to reality. Porter NEVER hurt Spence and was throwing his shots with everything he had. As far as the Ugas punch; I dare anyone let a professional boxer hit you with a power shot when you aren't looking and aren't braced for. All things considered, Spence took that great, he was knocked off balance, but came back attacking. If that was Crawford, with his chin, he definitely would have taken a good nap. Don't worry though, he's going to catch up on his sleep July 29th.

You know this is dangerous for both fighters, right? Actually, it would favor the better counter puncher which is Crawford who specializes on punching in between his opponents punches.

Earl got rocked several times by Porter and body bag Ugas even nearly knocked him through the ropes. When Bud connects like that, Earl will wake up on August 5th.

As much as you discredit Ugas, and stated that Porter had not lost a step before Crawford, Ugas actually beat Porter before Shawn fought Crawford, and was robbed on the scorecards in most people's opinion, and Ugas beat Crawford in the amateurs. Unlike Horn's decision over Pacquiao, Ugas put a beating on Manny, so much so that his wife was crying in the audience and he retired after. So, Ugas is much better than you are giving him credit for.

You forget the fact that not many guys are willing to face Crawford. I have to point something out too. Did you notice how Mikey Garcia and everyone else came out of hiding at 135 once Bud left the division? Did you notice how Taylor and Prograis came out of the shadows at 140 once Bud moved up to 147? Prior to Crawford leaving jr. welterweight, no one had heard a thing about Taylor or Prograis. That says a lot.

That’s The beauty and ugliness of matchmaking. Promotional outfits will protect their guy. I mean listen to Oscar who is now openly saying he didn’t want Ryan to fight Tank.
But, be that as it may, I’m glad the 135 and 140 division is on fire now and it seems guys are willing to fight each other.

I want to see a stoppage. I wonder if they will rematch each other right after the first fight.

I got Spence winning this one.
