How Spence Handles Crawford's Movement

[SplitSecond]

can crawford fight like porter to make it a close fight vs spence?

styles make fights for the millionth time gnetlemen

and crawford needs to stop fighting bums to really see how good he is at ww

He doesn't have to fight like Porter, little inside fighting and bullrushing is needed. you say styles make fights but do you even understand the styles to see how they'd matchup? Crawford beats Spence easy.

If the midget Gamboa was able to stagger and drop Crawford then there is no question Spence can get him out of there.

You might need a reminder of the round Gamboa "dropped" Crawford.

Crawford my not have the durability of Porter (most don't aside from maybe D. Garcia) but I feel he definitely has more power on his shots, and he definitely has more speed and footwork. He has basically hurt almost everybody he has gone against at least once either to the head or body.

Crawford is also no fool and he isn't going to engage Spence in a firefight unless he has to. People forget that Crawford is content to just dance around the ring if need be and pick his shots.

Spence is a strong guy but if Crawford can tag him cleanly over and over while avoiding the shots then I'm pretty sure Spence will be more than wary of what is coming back his way and that will slow him down. It is the main reason I favor Crawford over Spence.

This my favorite style

Crawford hurry and beat some welterweight badAZZes so I can root for him

i did not say he should, i asked if he can....and i was not implying spence would beat crawford for sure

and i do understand it perfectly reason why i brought it up coz the only time spence "really" looked vulnerable was vs a style of porter..yes , he struggled too vs kell but not like vs porter

i think it's you that dont understand what "styles make fights " mean reason why you think crawford wins EASY because there is no evidence whatsoever to suggest that outcome...

I didn't realize Crawford and Spence are actually gonna fight each other....

No one on this level beats anyone easy. I don't know why people keep saying that. Whoever wins will have to work very hard for it.

That's a fight that will be a battle of distance. Spence will have to rely on his jab and ring IQ to get Crawford on the ropes or on the inside. Man that fight will be fought at an absurdly high level.

He beats him easy. I'm one of the few on this site that can actually break a fight down properly. Styles make fights. Spence just like vs Brook, and for rd's vs Porter when he was boxing, can easily be put in a highguard marching forward if you counter him a bit outside. All his game is inside. Crawford would put him in a shell and just dominate him, the same exact way he lost just about every amateur bout. He was getting outboxed by Lo Greco on the outside for shtssake. The guy can't hang with someone that counters him, he doesnt like to get hit and then wants to fight inside where he can tuck his chin down and throw from a safer range.

It's a 9-3 or wider for Crawford type of fight.

This may be an unpopluar opintion but I think Crawford's toughest fight matchupwise...is Porter.

Lol and who told you that? What legendary fighter or trainer gave you their stamp of approval?
