    Right now , and I expect up until this fight happens, it's a pick'em fight. 50/50 all the way. Each fighter has a good or good trainers. Both fighters execute their corners game plan, adjustments, and overall instructions to the tee. They both have the killer instinct. In all honesty, IMO this fight comes down to which fighter can break the other's wiil. This will be a knock down drag out war.

      Spence doesn't fight backing up and that will be the telling attribute in this match-up.

      Crawford will be forced to use his legs and a lot of movement because Spence will stalk and pressure him all fight. And once Spence starts stalking consistently, Bud will be well outside of familiar territory, because he's never been in the ring with a powerful, highly skilled, intelligent dynamo that doesn't stop coming.

      Sure, Bud will be able to get off some good shots, but he doesn't appear to have the power needed to fend off someone like Spence.

      This prediction doesn't take anything away from Crawford, who is an excellent technician and tactician. But Spence is an unyielding, persistent, animal in the ring and he has all the tools and power needed to break Crawford down.

      11th round stoppage in favor of Spence.

      Crawford should stay away from a fight with Spence as long as possible. Just like AJ should avoid Wilder at all costs

        This is how I see it.

          It’s getting a bit ****** now. Crawford beat Horn, good on him. But Spence beats Crawford and maybe even stops him.. He’s way too strong..

            Bud picks him apart to the point where Spence tosses in the towel as opposed to getitng knocked out.

                LOL, you must have forgot that Brook won 2/3's of the rounds against Spence. Revisionist history is a great thing until it's time for a dose of reality. Bud stops Brook and wins a wide decision over Porter. He'll break Spence down until he either quits or gets knocked out trying to be a hero.

                  Crawford is more skilled than Spence. He will acclimate to the division (this was only his first fight), and Bud will win by clear decision or late TKO.

                    I can't see any scenario in which Spence beats Bud.
