Comments Thread For: Derrick James: Key To Beating Crawford Is To Chop, Chop, Chop Him Down

[HandsofIron]

Spence’s camp has to be ready with excessive holding by Crawford. Not saying that is his style. But between the two, if someone holds too much, I expect it to be Crawford. He did that a bit against Porter while Spence fought cleanly.

This is probably one of the only things I don't like about Crawford, he holds and ties up a lot.

Crawford did more then just a 'bit" against Porter, he was holding all night and the referee didn't do jack squat about it.

Opinions on this fight are the obvious ones. If a boxer is friends or in training with Spence, they pick him. If a boxer is friends or in training with Bud, they pick him. If a person is a fan of Spence, they pick him. If a person is a Bud fan, they pick him.

I have watched both of their respective careers, basically in entirety. I thought Spence would be a superstar by now. He is a solid strong fighter with humility, love the guy, but his in ring showings have mostly underwhelmed. He had all the tools to be the face of the sport. He has never had the mindset to achieve it.

Bud is the opposite for me. I thought he was very strong, and another guy with humility, again, love the guy. His mindset, I am going to find a way, no matter what. He has uncanny power for a small guy and his ring IQ is the best in the sport since Loma has slightly faded.

IMO this fight is 70% Bud KO, 30% Spence UD. Already hearing that Spence will try to outbox him, so this very well could be a snoozer on the level of the Spence Mikey fight.

If that's the gameplan then spence has zero chance of winning.

Bud will hit spence with 3-4 combos and then pull an andre ward on him by holding him with hooks on the inside and not letting spence set.

Let's not ignore the fact that Avanesyan pushed Crawford to the ropes numerous times in this fight.

If you think Crawford is going to box like Ali against Cleveland Williams, you done ****ed up

Mikey has the skills and high IQ like Crawford but he didn't have the size for 147. Terence has the size for 147, that'll be the difference so I don't think it'll play out like the Mikey snoozer fest.

HUH? Where did you come up with Spence not having the mindset? And how have his in ring performances underwhelmed?? Y’all get on these forums and just spout all types of nonsense lol

[slyellis]

Spence will win every round

[thack]

Just hope it lives up to the high exceptions , but this is one fight , apart from an early KO that can't fail...they might both hit the deck in this one and it's a toss up to know who will get up and win ...

Crawford's back touched the rope against Avenesyan; meanwhile Spence was sent face first into the ropes luckily draping his arms over the top to hold him up.
