Does this fight change your mind about crawford vs spence?

Doesn't change anything

[DumpkinsPlus5]

Nope, I still pick Spence to KO Crawford. The phrase "styles make fights" isn't said for no reason. Question, based on Crawford's resume, do we have any reason to believe he fairs any better against a Shawn Porter? Or do we just BELIEVE he'll walk through Porter, the same way many BELIEVED Spence would?

[Redd Foxx]

I still see it as 50/50. Spence is a bull who can also gamelan and box. Crawford is slick and quick. It's a really intriguing matchup that I don't believe anyone can truly predict. Can go a lot of different ways.

Exactly! He hasn't done anything at WW and the P4P list is just opinions.

This was a rough fight for Spence he needed this type of fight! Spence is gaining experience at 147 while Bud is
fighting less competition at 147!

If anything it made that fight even more intriguing for me. Spence looked very beatable, and Crawford is genuinely Elite in my opinion. I have gone from thinking "Earl would do him", to thinking it is a 50/50 fight. Styles make fights, and Earl's bodywork would make Crawford have to fight him in the trenches. We've seen Crawford hurt in similar scenarios, against Gamboa for example. Crawford's ring IQ is much better than Earl's, that is clear now in my opinion. Still a dream match-up!

I’m inclined to believe that Bud would get the better of Spence
Bud’s got great footwork and I think he ****s much harder than Porter
Pretty equal fight until midpoint and I think Bud would take over
Errol had a miserable time adjusting

Porter is dog, you would rarely look good against him in the ring. My opinion is still the same in regards to Crawford and Spence. I slightly favour bud.

Mikey has a high ring IQ and Errol just outboxed rather easily. Ring IQ does nothing against someone like Porter. I think Porter beats Bud

Crawford knows how to beat pressure fighters, and if he was in there with porter, he would make porter look real dumb. I think crawford beats spence easy as well. Spence gets hit a lot, crawford doesn't. Crawford is too sharp and calm for spence, and crawford has good power and chin as well. Crawford always controls his opponents, something spence failed to do against porter. He was fighting porter's fight to be honest.
