Is the general consensus here that Crawford dominates Spence?

    That was a great fight and Provo was considered a very good fighter.

    P.S. Many good fighters have fought on ESPN

      Has Crawford faced anyone even remotely close to the level of Spence?

      Confirmation bias in action here.
      I was asking a question. So that's not confirmation bias. You also asked a question with a question.

          I may have been a bit trigger happy with the fingers. In retrospect, your post doesn't read the same way I interpreted it the first time around.

            Spence is too wide, too strong and a vicious body puncher, with a chin who can also fight at short range. Thus far and I am not hating on the kid but Bud Crawford has yet shown me the ability to fight at short range on the inside. He is a mid to long range fighter. In my judgement, Spence along with his relentless pressure and body punching, walks him down and backs him up all night long to a UD or late round stoppage.

              Spence could win by ko but I think Crawford out boxes him.

                I pretty much think the same, Errol is relentless pressure and I don't think Bud can really hurt him, its a good fight both top shelf, Spence is very hard to keep off for 12 rounds I think you need real good power to back him off or May like boxing ability Bud sits in the middle, I lean to Spence getting a late stoppage maybe 10-11 or12.

                  Spence.

                  Bigger, stronger, just as sharp.

                    Spence is a bigger man with a great punch. He will ALWAYS have a shot no matter what you think of the skill levels. Crawford's chin is still untested, especially at WW against world class punchers.

                    I can see Crawford boxing circles around him, but can also easily see him getting caught, or Spence proving too relentless to stop.

                      Crawford has good infighting ability and is usually able to throw and land body punches inside. He’s good at covering himself up when someone gets close.

                      Spence is a mid range fighter with limited head movement and slow feet. He’d have a very hard time consistently closing the range IMO and be countered a lot coming in and inside Bud will be tough for him too. Bud has the better IQ also so it would be Spence having to adapt to losing the early rounds.

                      I really want this fight. It’s the most interesting in the sport IMO.
