Comments Thread For: 'Match Made In Heaven' - Spence Predicts 'Blood & Guts, All-Out War' vs. Crawford

Good post
But I do find a little of the initial shine has worn off
Not taking anything away from the fight and really hope it’s all it’s made out to be

Its true what you say mucka - no way that these 2 are in their prime. Spence is an old 33 with all of his out-of-the-ring woes and Bud at 36 soon? If they were both early 30s it'd be far better. Inoue and Fulton - props to both - fighting in their absolute primes.

Don't get your hopes up because this is going to be a tactical chess match ending in a draw or split decision.

I give props to Spence’s comments but he should of taken this fight a few years ago
A bit of shine has gone off the turd
Not sure if the fight will be all it’s supposed to be , as we all know many of these so called mega fights turn out to be boring as fugh
That said , War Bud

Shine has gone off the turd is a very odd way to put it.

You can't polish a turd is the idiom. And this fight was never a turd.

I just liked the way it sounded
Thus insinuating that the fight should of gotten off ways ago

Why is a middle weight part of four kings? Surely hagler had advantages?
But spence seems determined

Right. Once again, it's a weird way of putting it.

A fight that should have been contested long ago would be akin to a lustrous metal that has tarnished. A turd that has lost its shine is something that was always unappealing.

It's going to be real competitive early rounds, until Crawford solves Spence mid-fight.

Crawford knows he can't win on scorecards on PBC and he's horrible at winning rounds.
But that's just how Crawford always fought. So it suits him just fine.

Question is, can Crawford adapt to Spence pressure adequately.
I think he does, because it's easier to find sparring partners that mimic the pressure of Spence,
but impossible to find sparring partners that mimic Crawford's ability to problem solve and adapt inside the distance.
