I keep going back and forth trying to decide who I'm going to pick. Going off of previous fights and opponent, Spence in my opinion has a better resume at the weight. But Crawford has that ko streak against lesser competition resulting in less damage taken. If Errol can take a punch He Doesn't See, then I picture him coming forward and making the fight. Imo, Crawford is going to box and try to counter punch. I expect fireworks because both are going to try to impose their will and we'll see who starts making concessions to the other. I'm ordering the fight..having a few casual fans over. Can't wait..counting the days!! Boxing

Spence by stoppage. Crawford has a bad habit of wanting to trade especially if he gets caught. He wants to throw a power shot of his own. He got away with it because he hasn't faced any real punchers. He hasn't faced someone that goes to the body consistently. No one he fought has more power than Danny Garcia. And no one he fought had counterpunching skills like Ugas who had a well known amateur background. And he's not going to rough Spence up like Shawn Porter. He's the smaller man. Mikey Garcia was a better boxer than anyone Crawford faced. Spence Jr. Has seen it all. This is why you shouldn't cherry pick stiff tests. He's about to get in there with something he's never seen. Because he hasn't faced any hard punchers at 147. Shawn Porters style gave him problems. It's just Porter couldn't keep him honest with his power. I believe Spence will make this a ugly inside fight. And Crawford will do the same thing he did vs Porter. Try to trade bombs. Except what he could get back from Spence will get him to rethink that.

Bomac won't come near anything as healthy as Fish. He'll cook and eat everything on a pig though; ears, brain, feet, ass linings, balls, and snout. Sorry, if you are coming in hopes of fish, but you will be able to watch Bud get smoked and another Man Down.

I spit laughing so hard.
The funniest part is you thinking that Spence beats Bud

TKO 9 Crawford over Spence

Spence just talking, he knows full well he's going to get in there and box like he did against Mikey and try not to get knocked out along the way...

I could be wrong but looks to me like Spence been in summer fat camp while Bud been in shape, every time I see footage of Spence he looks like he's starving for some real food and weak and his body visibly looks older..

Errol spence = straight up and down no special effects no head movement. Boy is gonna get baked.

He's hoping for the judges to save him but they won't

Every great fighter tries to "get it back" when they get caught with a shot. I agree, Terence becomes a bit more aggressive than others but it's also a bit overblown.

Outside of 140, I don't think Danny Garcia has shown any crazy power and he buzzed Spence a couple of times. I'm honestly unsure who has the better chin. I don't think either has a great chin but maybe average or slightly above.

Ugas fought Spence's fight with zero lateral movement and he doesn't counter in between shots like Bud. Neither fighter has fought anyone like the other so I don't think it's worth trying to extrapolate anything significant from past opponents.

I think Spence has been doing good keeping his weight manageable compared to times past but I imagine it's hard on his body to keep having to make 147. Also, he hasn't exactly lived a clean life outside the ring. I think when you're going against someone equally as skilled, talented and vicious, those little things mean a lot.

I believe he has a professional nutritionist behind him and that makes a lot of difference, I don't know why people dog him for the past, since that near-death experience he has been a changed man in lots of ways from what I can see.
