You wrong Bob , again
Bud’s got this

Yeah, I've been on the 50/50 train for a spell now after watching (just about) all of their fights over the last few weeks, but I think I'm going with Crawford; 60/40 in his favor.

I just think he possesses that certain killer instinct that will make the difference. But, Spence could snatch the win and I wouldn't be shocked.

Speed kills and that will be the difference Crawford brings to the fight. He is a mean fighter. Crawford by late stoppage.

[DeaconFrost]

Everyone keeps saying stoppage by (insert fighter) this is going to the judges.

People saying this is like Leonard vs Hearns and that is natural because its welterweights.

The problem with that is Spence is not at all similar to Leonard as a fighter.

Anyone else think Ali vs Liston is a closer comparison - albeit thats HW and the ages aren't comparable?

Liston was a fundamentally very good fighter and also skilled. Ali had more skills

[Liondw]

Looking at the undercard, it sucks, as is the usual case nowadays, but they're focused on selling the main fight, of course.

Prediction, it's a tough one, but I'd say Crawford slightly.

While I think Crawford is the better more skillful fighter, I have seen him hurt in the ring by smaller guys. Spence is bigger and hits harder, and will bring more pressure than Crawford has ever faced. I’m going with Spence who I think is more durable and will outwork Crawford with his pace.
