Comments Thread For: Oleksandr Usyk Predicts Terence Crawford Will Beat Errol Spence

I'm pretty sure Crawford will win. But I think if Spence wins, it is more likely we will get a great trilogy. Crawford seems like the kind of guy to beat someone once and run

What gives you that impression? If he beat him once, why not do it again for possibly bigger money? Bud is 35 yrs old. Who is going to give him this big of a payday before he retires? Also, both guys have a rematch clause in the contract, so they are obligated to rematch if the loser wants it. Unless Spence has to move up to 154lbs, which is fairly likely, an immediate rematch is almost guaranteed.

Not a very hard right to pick. The hungrier, more dynamic and harder hitting fighter will win, and that fighter is Crawford. Nothing Earl does Byd hasn't seen before. Nothing.

I'm leaning Crawford in this one. I think Spence takes early rounds and maybe even buzzes Bud with some shots but Crawford makes adjustments and takes over the second half.

If there isn't a stoppage (and I expect it to go the distance), I hope that the judges don't fail the sport, the fans and the rightful winner.

So I really respect Spence and am not at all conflicted on who I want to win. I am cheering Spence on and hopeful he gets the career defining win he deserves, in my opinion.

But my gut says Crawford in a decision. I just think he does more just a little better in the ring. I think he is smother with his movement, a tad crisper in his punching, and has a focus that is crazy solid.

I do think Spence has been through more adversity both in the ring and in real life. I think that helps him. I also see him as slightly stronger and in some strange way I see him being, maybe not "faster", but quicker if that makes any sense?

I will be very interested in their weigh in.
