I think some people thought Errol might be the naturally bigger guy since Crawford had come up to WW although did so years prior. That Errol hits hard and Crawford was rocked in a couple fights. To be honest, I think I may have also felt it was 50/50 going in, but after rd.1 or 2, you immediately knew where it was going and that Crawford was levels above Errol. I also stated that Crawford never left first gear in the entire fight because Errol just gave him nothing that he had to divert from and change up.

I told people back as far as 2018 that the fight was a mismatch. Some guys on Facebook believed that Horn would be too "big & strong" for Bud. I just laughed. I knew he would destroy Horn and I knew he'd destroy Errol. Crawford has a wrestling background. People don't realize how physically strong the man is.

Yeah its easy to say now but that wasnt the narrative before the fight. The fight was pretty split 50/50 with the general public, media, and betting odds
A coin-flip fight based on what? They're two completely different skill levels. Anyone with two functional eyes and at least seventeen brain cells could see that.
I made $500 in that fight betting Spence stans. I'm still mad at myself for not making more.

What is the relation with that logic?--------------------
Don't ask me that question. Ask Spence. He took the fight because of the money he is getting paid which means, nothing else matters except that huge payday.
How is Spence agreeing to a fight going to make me enjoy Joshua vs Paul? What is the relation with that logic?

No, it was extremely easy to see back then. The only folks who considered that a 50/50 were high on meth. Or a Breadman Edwards disciple.
The only reason Edwards called Crawford-Spence a "50/50 fight" was because he didn't want to offend a fellow trainer in Derrick James.
On a serious note, Spence is/was a front foot heavy fighter. Crawford ate guys like that alive. Predicting that fight was like predicting Mayweather-Pacquiao. Never let emotions overtake logic.Last edited by BlackRobb; 04-10-2026, 01:10 AM.Comment
