isn't this clown fighting a bigger bum next? crawford smashes this fraud

Crawford got a skinny body, you think he can take Spence's shots? I'll give Crawford the edge in technique though

I think that's what it will come down to....I don't doubt Crawford's toughness, it is just a matter of can he physically take Spence's shots.

I really like Spence, but Crawford continues to impress me too. His hand and foot speed, and ability to control distance is really really good.

Only flaw I've seen with Spence is he can look a little slow and laboring sometimes. If Crawford can box and move and avoid a lot of big shots, I think this fight could look like rounds 4-12 of Hagler/Leonard.

Basically I can see Spence being too big/strong/good for Crawford, and I can see Crawford being too slick for Spence. Either way I hope we see it soon! I at least hope both guys can fight some of the other top guys at 147 so we can better see their levels as well. Spence vs Porter or Garcia would be nice.

Spence is one of the most overrated fighters fighting today. He will be no match for Bud. His resume is suspect to me. He beat a Kell Brook who was stopped by GGG, and a couple of former JWW's. That's it.

Are you seriously gonna ignore Crawford's resume?

Speaking of levels. Kell Brook is levels above anything Crawford has seen thus far in his career.

Bud seems legit, but he hasn't been tested.

Kell Brook himself would likely give Crawford hell considering Brook has a lot more space boxing on the outside and not having to worry getting walked down.

Pre-GGG 147 Brook is a good match for anyone. He was actually a good match for Spence post the GGG meat grinder and coming back down starving himself to 147.

Crawford would have toyed with that Brook.

Spence is very good but a little overrated IMO. Is he one of the top 10 fighters in the world? Yes. But he doesn't scream greatness to me. He hits hard, is accurate, is excellent at mid-range and has a strong will. But he is a little slow on his feet, lacks head movement, is fairly easy to hit and his offense is fairly predictable.

He really does play into Crawford's hands. That will surprise a lot of people if/hopefully when it happens.

spence went to the uk and took the belt and looks like he wants the top guys asap, so you have to admire that, hes a tough opponent for anyone, he might not have been able to catch a football but he can fight

It's called having a mandatory. Blame the IBF for ranking Ocampo that high...

Hah. Spence said Horn is tough and the fight would go the distance for a decision TC win.

This is like Thurman all over again.

Lots of fans cant pick apart the thoroughbreds. Spence is good - dont get me wrong - but hes not special. Hes similar to Gennady in a lot of ways, actually.

I like TC in an 8-4 type of UD if they ever fight.

Spence has not looked as good as TC at any point in his career. Not sure why people keep bigging this Spencer kid. Very 1 dimensional so far

No he had TC by stoppage, Day before the fight:

"I have horn getting stopped"

Ayo we have to suspend some of these posters for fraudulent activity.

Too bad Arum will never make the fight.

I'd take great pleasure in hearing the excuses for Bud post-fight.
