Comments Thread For: Derrick James: "The Basic Skills and Technique Beats Glamor Every Day Of The Week"

Terence Crawford doesn't simply just win. It's almost like he can't go about his business in the ring mundanely. Instead, Crawford usually puts on a show. He constantly switches stances, flashes some fancy footwork, and, at some point, often scores a highlight-reel-worthy knockout.

That’s not a completely true statement… but I get it… ♂️

Spence should apply this mantra to his driving skills.

I'm not sure why Crawford is being talked about like he is a flashy, showboat type fighter. He not showboating like Prince Naseem back in the day. Crawford shows different things in the ring to gauge their effectiveness early and then focuses in on what works. Other than being ruthless when the finish is there, he is as blue collar as Spence.

That being said, I'm excited for this fight! It should be a good one. Hopefully, it's close enough to get a trilogy out of it with this first one at 147, then the other two at 154.

I don't consider Crawford a flashy fighter. He has a better toolbox of skills than most of his opponents, and he uses them.

Spence wins if he can fight exactly like he did Mikey. Boring, in and out UD.

Bud isn't flashy. He has old school KO power and an uncanny ring IQ. Spence has to be perfect or he will get stopped.

Reading these comments and it seems like boxingscene bloggers know more than the BWAA 2022 Trainer of the year who was also a professional fighter. Interesting!

People talk about Crawfords boxing IQ but his temperament is all wrong for a fighter like Spence. That dog is going to get him in trouble because Spence keeps ****ing to the body no matter what. Winning, losing, getting hit; he just never stops chopping that wood. And if Crawford is foolish enough to stand there in front of him trying to prove he is tougher, Spence is going to break him.

If Crawford sticks and moves all night they'll call him a coward but he'll win. Outside of that, as the rounds roll on those 36 years in the game are going to finally be exposed. Crawford wins a boxing match with Spence 6/7 out of 10 times. But a fight, Crawford loses a fight with Spence 8 out of 10 times.

Pure counter punchers have the hardest style in Pro boxing. People need to rewatch Buds fights, in every exchange he may not land more punches but he always lands the sharper punch. That heavy bag style is tailor made for Buds style. He will lose the first half based om volume but the sneaky shovel hooks to the body will have Spence spitting out his mouthpeice come round 9.

He not and your right. For James to even be saying this speaking on this odd take on Crawford comes off as SCARED. That's OK. They never wanted this fight regardless of what there saying now. James sound confused, very.
