Comments Thread For: Joel Diaz Confident: Terence Crawford Will Beat Errol Spence

[john l]

Its not a easy call but for now ill go with the big welter over the huge lightweight.

Crawford will have to be flawless in this one. Spence will never stop coming forward and Crawford will have to be in and out and use all kinds of angles. Best fight in all of boxing.

Man, this one get's me excited

As I stated in a previous post. There are weight classes for a reason. As a professional Spence has never weighed less than a 136lb. Where as on the other hand Bud has.

While I admire Crawford a lot as I have no horse in the race and believe that he is the more seasoned and fundamentally sound of the two fighters. Yet I still believe that he will be giving up way too many physical advantages to Errol Spence in terms of size and power.

In addition, his defense and counter punching ability may not be enough to hold off the relentless onslaught and work rate of the naturally larger Errol Spence; Especially in those exchanges, because he will be coming for Terence every second of every round.

If these two were the same size then Crawford wins this match up hands down but unfortunately they are not.

While Crawford has the advantage in skill, mobility, agility and speed. He is a natural counter puncher, who usually fights in spurts; While choosing and picking his spots very carefully in the process. Errol on the other hand, is wider, stronger, busier and hits a lot harder than the naturally smaller Terence Crawford.

Moreover, given Spence's vicious body attack; The extra weight could very well take a heavier toll on Terence Crawford's legs. His ability to circle the ring would be severely compromised.

Crawford just posted some pic of his "walk around" weight....177. I think Spence is going to get wrecked by the more experienced boxer.

bwahahahahahaha 😂😂 u do realize bud is coming up from 140 right? 147 isnt considerd the glamour div of boxing for nothing. we already seen spence take shots from the biggest ww in the div and walked right through them. we cant say the same for bud. it will be a dog fight and errol is the baddest dog there is. he will smother ur boy and take out his organs with them nasty body shots. bud will have no where to go and he dont hit hard enough to keep errol off him.. no one at 147 does!

I love fans like you who will be in utter shock after Bud whoops Spence's ass. Bud came to the division for a reason. To unify that division also.

Agreed!
First Bud is going to box him and his jab will set Spence up for Buds bombs. It won't be a fight watch......and size won't matter either.

the maywewathers gym seem to think otherwise. a lot of them is picking spence over crawford.

I agree. I can see either guy winning. I can see either guy imposing their style on the other guy.

Crawford beats Horn and Manny, Spence beats Occampo and Thurman and then they fight early 2019.
