Terrance Crawford is a better fighter than Spence jr

[Blender]

I do think TC is more versatile. Has better defense and seems like he can adapt incredibly well. Spence just does his thing, and he does it incredibly, incredibly well. Spence also seems more athletic and powerful for his weight class, but TC just seems more skilled and better ring IQ.

But when you have the power and offensive capability of Spence, you don't need to be as defensive or have the absolute best ring IQ, because you will always be hurting people and thus fighting lesser versions, less dangerous versions. The way I see it is, TC is more skilled. Spence is more athletic, powerful.

He hurt Brook in the very first round with body shots. Brooks right hand dropped so his elbow could protect the body. Then Spence started throwing right hooks to the other side of the body.

This is why I also have Spence winning most of the first half of the fight. People just don't give body shots scoring points, but Spence was pretty much beating the sheet out of Brooks body from round 1, and backing him up the whole fight.

Freak injury???? Are you fcuking blind? Spence caused the injury while engaging in the Marquis of Queensbury rules.

Spence get full credit for injurying the eye and causing Brook to quit. If Spence wasn't punching at the eye, Brook would not have quit.

I watch boxing every weekend and never see orbital bones fractured. Brooks had it happen twice now. It's not a common occurrence and obviously it made him quit. Get it now? Never said Spence didn't cause it, just that it's not a common thing to happen. Unless you're Kell Brook I guess.

"Usual suspects"? That's what you're going for huh?

Yeah, you know, the merry band of idiots like Larry and the rest of the ones who were calling Kell Brook a mediocre fighter who only hugged his way to his only good win over Porter. Now beating him means you're the next superstar of boxing. You one of them? Or did you just get emotional for no reason like a chick?

Not sure why all of a sudden all the usual suspects have a hard on for Spence jr when they've already had a much better fighter to root for in Bud Crawford.

Why the sudden infatuation with Spence? When Crawford been clowning dudes for 2+ years and never has even had a close fight go late rounds before pulling it out.

Is it the HBO thing or the Arum thing? I don't get it....

Idk it usually helps when u fight midgets most of the time

I'm sold on Crawford, he's convinced me that he's a top level fighter, but he can't hang with Spence man. I been sold on Spence for a long time, he's extremely well rounded and unlike most modern day fighters, he's a monster in the pocket. I don't see anybody from 140-147 beating Spence.

Crawford is gonna be bigger than everyone at 140 regardless. Spence will be as well at 147 now that he's fought the other big WW. Postal wasn't a midget and he embarrassed him when people were saying it was a 50-50 fight

I agree, both are great fighters and Spence is a beast inside with his bodywork but When Brook put the pressure on him, he controlled the fight. Spence is a big dude so I'm not sure anyone but Porter could do that to him again but him and Crawford at 147 in a year or so would be a great fight.

Oh, so it's not a cowardly way of saying something else? Cool.

Fair enough but in Boxing, no injury is "freak".

Paulie had a orbital fracture against Miguel and kept fighting....and he was getting beat up badly. Errol broke Kell other orbital socket and Kell quit because he lacked the heart and knew he was getting beat up.

No one currently on Crawford resume is on the level of Kell Brook. When Crawford gets a Kell Brook type opponent, he will go through adversity.

You claim that you watch Boxing every weekend, then you know that every elite fighter finally struggles when the face elite level comp that's equal to them in terms of ability.

Mayweather has struggled
Ward has struggled
Golovkin has struggled

Felix Diaz & Victor Postal are not on Kell Brook level in term of Professional Boxing accomplishments and ability. Spence would have blown away Diaz & Postal if he would have fought them but I know Crawford would have struggled with Kell and there's no shame in that.
