Recycled from the interview Ring Magazine did with Porter, Brook, Virgil Hunter and the Bread Man...yawn

Not sure I agree. Usually great fighters adjust and there's a lot of ebb and flows in the fight. See Leonard vs Hearns.

Crawford is usually a slow starter who will study and read his opponents style before he dominating him in late rounds. I see Errol winning the first half of the fight and Crawford taking over later. It will be a close fight.

50/50 fight my azz! That's what pundits, trainers, other fighters and network execs have to say to sell the fight. Anyone with a keen eye for boxing knows who the better fighter is and always was. It's obvious. Examine the lifestyles, out-of-ring history and performance against common foes. Don't make this fight out to be differential equations or calculus. It's not.

Crawford has more ways to win. Spence has 2 - grind and/or box fundamentally.

If Spence boxes as well as he can Crawford is going to struggle to consistently hit and hurt Spence - If Spence is coming forward most rounds and landing then he'll pick up the rounds.

Lets see if 3 of the usual 4/5 judges are at ringside - Spence is the A side - he can move up to fight Jermell Charlo at 160/168 or Canelo. I don't believe Crawford would do that if he wins plus he is 36 soon.

There is more money for Las Vegas if Spence wins - not so much Crawford

I wish boxing wasn't like this - but it is.

I see it the opposite way. Errol will dominate the later rounds as I feel he has more dog in him. Not to mention better, fitness. If the fight stays a chess match it favours Crawford but if they are throwing leather from the first minute then I feel down the stretch just based on attribution Errol will get him. I could be wrong though

In tired of hearing what might happen. They're fighting soon, we will see what really will happen
