    Bud is actually a 2:1 favorite on DraftKings.

        I thought it was always obvious that TC would be the betting favourite, everytime he fights the commentators are all about how great he is he gets way more superlatives than what Errol ever got because one is explosive and the other a grinder, that narrative sets the odds.

          TC is strong, deceptively strong how Mayweather was, I don't think Errols size will be a big factor because he slow where TC is fast which is how Floyd managed it speed and angles.
          How is Bud faster? Spence is just as quick and he wont be fooled with all his switch hitting. I don't get that, he did like 4 times against sub par competition.

            I don't see Errol as fast as TC, especially with his feet, he is very tight elbows in hands up, does everything text book and just keeps working, TC has a bit of that boxing sugar, quicker feet, can punch in between shots with pinpoint accuracy and can quickly step into angles, Errol pivots of that front foot behind his jab, they both real good in their own way.

            Im on the fence with this fight so will get shot from both sides lol, I don't have a favourite I really like both guys I wish them both the best of luck may the best man win.

              Kudos to that my mang, bud has better footwork but that boesnt mean he is faster. We'll see though when in trenctches and they both have to work.

                I’m no savant, however I do believe this grammatical incorrect. Ok, let me be frank, he SOUNDS LIKE A LAZY R E T A R D. Talk like you have half intelligence FFS.
                Sort of shot yourself in the foot there. PUTTING WORDS IN CAPITALS in order to imply emphasis is grammatically incorrect - that’s what an exclamation mark is for. By your own logic that makes you sound like a lazy ****** with half intelligence whatever that is supposed to mean.

                  The odds are based on strengths vs. weaknesses. Earl's strength is activity. When you throw more shots against Crawford, you give him more counterpunching opportunities. Bud is a deadly counterpuncher. Crawford also has clear edges in power, speed, athleticism and ring IQ.

                    I remember b4 the Crawford vs.Porter fight, Kenny Porter in interviews saying they trained extra hard for this fight out of respect for Crawford, and then after Crawford whipped him, all of a sudden they didn't train the right way? I don't like that. That stinks because it diminishes the win... Porter signed the contract, he was already a seasoned pro. Porter was 276-14 as an amateur. He beat Demetrius Andrade, Danny Jacobs, and even beat Usyk. As a pro, he had already fought Broner, Berto, Devon Alexander, Kell Brook, Thurman, Danny Garcia, and Errol Spence. He knew exactly who he was going up against. Furthermore, Porter never once appeared to come in the ring out of shape, or not ready for a fight b4 in his whole career. He was a work horse and a fitness fanatic. So why the one time he gets beat up, he says that he didn't train right? Crawford did to him what he was most likely gonna do to him anyway, regardless of how much he trained. Same thing he's probably gonna do to Errol

                      I think Bud is chinny and he's been hiding it, with his lackluster competition.

                      We're going to see.
