Comments Thread For: Spence: I'll Definitely Stop Crawford; Kavaliauskas Dropped Him, Gamboa Hurt Him

[F l i c k e r]

It's possible but Spence won't be able to coast rounds, if he actually wants to stop him. Spence has a knack for cruising during fights and his work rate drops. Looking to throw one or two sledgehammers rather than combinations.

In short, if he fights the way he has done his last 3 or so fights, he won't stop Crawford. He could beat him on the cards but Crawford isn't a punching bag that'll stand right in front of him to get hit.

The contract that will get sent his way in less than a month if he contacts Haymon and tells him he wants the fight next. We both know he wont though. Look forward to him fighting Danny on PPV.

Well, duh. Danny is his mandatory and if he wants to keep the belt, he'll fight Danny.

Spence has already stated his plans. He's looking to unify the division. Pacquiao is the next target.

After that, we'll see a fight with Crawford lined up.

At that point, when Crawford has no leverage and only beating up on tomato cans with a weak revenue draw. We'll see how badly Crawford wants to fight when he's getting less than half of the revenue split.

That's what we really should be looking out for. If all things go as Spence is planning.

awww so no response for craw-fraud fighting 1 legged bums and shatter chin amir con? Hahahahahah... As expected... Waive the white flag... Im sure watching craw-fraud get dropped by some euro bum named egis made you sad... Its ok son...

I have a hard time responding to idiotic, "juiced up testosterone typist" comments...LOL!

I never claimed Matthysse was a p4p fighter.

Porter lost to Thurman and Brook. Postol lost to Crawford and Taylor. Those are very comparable.

You mock Postol’s best win, Matthysse, but don’t mention Porter’s best win.... probably because it’s a controversial decision over Danny Garcia, who is very comparable to Postol.

I don’t disregard everything Porter did and gas up Matthysse. I’m just pointing out that Postol and Porter are clearly comparable. Everyone who isn’t biased in favor of pbc fighters would agree with that statement.

How did Postal lost? Its a reason he os irrelevant. Porter looked better im his losses than Postol did in his best wins....

But idc... Explain why he refused Porter for certain reasons then turned around willingly to fight other guys for the same thing?

U said he only wanted Spence and didnt wanna help Haymon
Cough Manny, DSG, Thurman

He said it was cuz Porter had no belt.
Cough DSG Thurman

He talking out his ass and yall following every move.

When Wilder says dumb shyt i take 3 steps back. Lmao. I dont like him that much gaddamn

It doesn’t make Garcia relevant at 147.

He lost every round to Spence. He fought a dead even fight with Jessie Vargas, who has lost to every top fighter he’s ever faced.

I think it’s more ironic that Garcia and Pacquiao both left pbc to face each other when they were both fighting on that platform in 2019.

No shame in losing to Spence, just proud of his courage to call for the challenge in the first place! Only 1 loss! Pac and Mikey have done well since leaving the plantation! I'm very happy for them! Meanwhile, Bud's career is trash, and getting worse by the minute! Go wake him up!

Flawed logic. Mikey was buzzed and hurt by featherweights but never went down against Spence. Yet Spence was able to drop Porter who has a damn good chin.

Can Spence stop Crawford? Sure, but he's in for a rude awakening if he thinks just because Mean Machine was able to hurt Crawford, he would be able to do the same. Mean Machine landed a great counter that buzzed and arguably dropped Crawford. Mayweather was buzzed a few times from Corley yet was able to take shots from bigger punchers just fine at WW and LMW.

That's simply not true. Spence turned it up late against both Garcia and Porter. He was more active in the last quarter of the fight than at any point against both fighters. Garcia as shown against Vargas just has a really solid chin and didn't throw much so Spence couldn't quite land as clean as he needed to. And with Porter he was landing some big shots and dropped Porter late but just couldn't get him out of there.

Usually against other elite fighters the fight will go to decision. No shame in that. Spence vs Crawford can result in a stoppage, but that one is also likely to go to a decision.

Spence is a huge welterweight who will probably grow to be a middleweight by the end of his career. Crawford won his first title at lightweight....people are forgetting that

You're sort of proving my point.

Spence isn't going to stop Crawford fighting like he has in his past 3 or so fights. His output isn't very high and that's what really makes it difficult to stop elite boxers.

Spence isn't going to stand in front of him to be hit. So, definitely stopping Crawford just isn't a reality unless Spence increases his output rather than just coasting along comfortably in fights.

Spence averaged 90 punches a round against Garcia. What type of output are you looking for exactly? You aren't against elite skilled fighters going to just throw like they are some bums. And against Porter he threw 745 punches, which is a solid number. If he stops Crawford, it is likely he catches Crawford on a counter that he doesn't see and then goes after him when he is buzzed. He's not going to just have his way with Crawford and walk him down all fight and vice versa.
