    I hit you with facts. Always. You ignore them.

    Crawford has been two-pieced, wobbled and dropped by Kavaliauskas.

    Crawford was losing on points to ghost Khan, ghost Brook and Kavaliauskas, and almost losing on points to one-legged Benavidez. All four of those fighters landed freely on Bud.

    But their defense is nowhere near Spence's.

    Crawford has not faced a Top 10 opponent since Horn and we know the story with that one. He has not been tested. There are patterns in every one of his fights. He eats punches to land and entertain you, and you ignore his poor defense because of his stoppages which all but one have been questionable.

    Crawford will have moments. Spence washes him 8-4 just like he did Danny and with the same strategy, since Khan and Brook showed us that Crawford will happily eat jabs.

    After the fight, you'll dismiss the win because you ignore jabs.

    But "at the end of the day" neither I OR you have seen Crawford do anything special against an elite fighter; meanwhile Spence did against THREE of them.

    Done.

      I personally think Crawford still beat Spence but going back to Spence being the first to beat Danny comfortably I don't necessarily agree with that.

      I thought Mauricio Herrera absolutely tooled Garcia with the jab but was subject to a disgusting robbery on the scorecards (which was common for Herrera as he likely should have been a unified champ when he in my eyes beat both Garcia & Benavidez). Because of that it was not really a surprise to me to see Spence completely negate Garcia with his jab.

        Garcia/Herrera was at best a 7-5 fight.

        Spence/Garcia was minimum 8-4, more likely 9-3.


        It's not close.

          He was shot in last 4 rounds. Was he drained, does he find it hard to stay at 147? Or is it because of accident still? This question must be answered. If he is drained at 147, he shouldn`t fight Crawford he is gonna lose. Crawford makes 147 comfortably.

          He must show up in better fashion next time.

            He not only beat Danny Garcia but he also beat him up. He could have easily stopped him because Danny was looking like he was ready to give up.

            However, Spence lacked both the stamina and conditioning in order to do so; Due to his 14 months of inactivity and near fatal car accident.

                Spence about to get the Pacquiao fight Next so as far as Resume at 147 sadly he is completely pulling away from Crawford at 147 and I don't Blame Crawford I Blame Bob! Spence also has the Option to go on a Suicide Mission and Fight Canelo for a ton of Money so HE is the one who truly doesn't "Need Crawford" which for some ****** Reason Crawford is running around saying all of a sudden that he "Doesn't need Spence Fight"

                Bob Bottom Line is $$$ he don't give a sh^t about none of that it is all about what makes him the most Money and Cross Promoting don't make him the most money. In House Fights make Promoters the most Money!

                Not only that but Spence vs Crawford is NOT the Mega Fight that fight fans like to pretend it is that doesn't do 1 Million Buys or anything close to it IMO. Of course I want to see it, I think it is a true 50/50 Fight! However as long as Crawford is with Arum it is going to be hard to make happen

                Bud also need to stop down playing the fight and saying "I Don't Need That Fight" "I'm OK If The Fight Never Happens..." that is NOT how you Promote a "Super Fight"

                  Definitely don't agree he was shot the last four rounds, especially in the 12th round. Even in the 11th round he started to put pressure back on Danny and landed the most shots of the fight for him that round.

                  He did tire some and took the foot off the gas at one point though no doubt. Could be the weight cut but he also fights at a high pace. Dude is throwing 700-1,000 punches a fight against top level WWs. Hard to keep that pace up. He may need to either conserve his energy better early on because he can't take any rounds off against Crawford.

                  Spence will be at 154 soon enough. Who knows, we may get the big Crawford showdown at 154 and not 147 LOL.

                    Looks like he is noticing it himself and wants to correct it going forward.
