Comments Thread For: Postol: Crawford Will Stop Spence After 6 Rounds, In 2nd Half Of Fight; Speed Will Be Difference

Bud will be in survival mode the whole night. I don`t see him beating Spence.

Crawford by stoppage late. Earl simply doesn't move his feet or head well enough to avoid getting nailed at some point. Porter hit him with everything but the kitchen sink, and that was 4 years ago before the auto racing and retina tear.

No way. First of all, Crawford has been hurt and dropped by much lesser opponents. Crawford himself admitted that Gamboa hurt him more than anyone (this is not a good sign against someone like Spence. Spence is head and shoulders better than Crawford's opposition and the fighters Spence fought when he fought them (Porter, Brook, Ugas, Danny) would beat everyone on Crawford's resume including those versions of Porter and Brook. Crawford is becoming very overrated don't his forum. Let's put his into context, it took him 12 rounds to stop a one-legged Benavidez (who would've been broken by Spence much earlier) so you mean to tell me that he's going to do that to an elitefighter like Spence? These guys must really hate the PBC. I'm also seeing a lot of people saying that Crawford is just going to negate Spence's pressure. Ok, if Madianna was able to Pressure one of the greatest movers/defensive fighters in Floyd. What do you think Spence is going to do to Crawford who is a level or two below floyd in this regards while Spence does everything better than Madianna.

Porter hitting Spence with everything but the kitchen sink tells me that Spence has a helluva chin.

Let’s not forget, Crawford was getting touched against Porter also. Kell Brook was touching Crawford up too.

Crawford’s gonna get touched in this one too. Crawford ain’t invincible, neither is Spence, and this is the biggest fight thus for for both of these guys.

Both of these guys are gonna get touched up. They’re offensive minded guys in their own unique approaches. It’s gonna make them available to be hit.

I think if Spence gets into a rhythm and on a roll offensively early on and Spence doesn’t get hurt, Crawford will be in trouble late. Spence has been hurt, but he recovers really well so I’d like to see what might happen if Crawford goes in for the kill and Spence wethers the storm, cuz I think he will.

That's not how this works. Crawford went 12 with a one-legged Benavidez who was tagging him all night, he was dropped by mean machine and fought lesser versions of Porter and Brook. Plus, Spence is the better defensive fighter. Crawford is becoming extremely overrated.

This is a true tossup fight. Indont know who is going to win. I do think Crawford has the edge is speed but Spence has the edge in strength/size

[Roadblock]

Ohhhh so disrespectful. It’s not impossible, but you’d have to be crazy to bet this fight ends in less than six rounds. Literally no evidence to support that theory.

Its possible and TC is such a dynamic puncher I feel his best chance for a KO is early, I think the further it goes the more Spence will get into his grove, if TC doesn't stop Errol I see Spence just grinding him down I think it hinges on how Errol can take TCs power. Boxing is a speed sport and in my eyes TC has that advantage, its a hard fight to really call beyond favouritism, its getting close now I cant wait really looking forward to this one.

I agree with all you said, only Errol done the hip-hop leg from a rather soft but unseen shot from Ugas, TC would be all over that, the shot from Ugas is kinda branded into my brain because it was Errols last fight.

Look at the 26min 23 sec mark.

Crawford was not getting tagged by Benavidez all night. That's a blatant lie. Do you even watch his fights? Benavidez landed 18% of his punches, 92 punches in a 12 round fight. That's less than 8 punches per round landed.

You're obviously one of these shameless and delusional Spence fan boys. Since we're playing the "lesser version" game, wasn't Brook cutting 13 lbs. and coming off a broken eye socket and brutal five round beating from GGG the fight before he faced Earl? Didn't Shawn say that he was in the best shape of his career prior to fighting Bud? Bud doesn't fight inferior fighters -- he just makes them look that way.

Don't hide on July 30th, ok? Keep the same goofy, delusional energy you have right now.

Spence doesn't have a better chin than Porter, though. The thing you don't realize is that Crawford doesn't throw caution to the wind and shoot his full load when he gets an opponent hurt. Every shot is precise, well-placed and has a purpose. Another fact is that Bud's output always goes up after Round 6. Spence won't change that. The more Errol bores in and throws, the more counterpunching opportunities he will give Crawford. Crawford is the deadliest counterpuncher in the sport. He gets foes hurt and they don't hang around for 12 rounds like Little Mikey and Danny did with Spence.

If this fight goes late, it will be Spence who is in deep waters because after a few rounds, he runs out of ideas and becomes predictable and vanilla.
