Too much skill difference. When Spence was a beast (pre-accident), I had him winning in 2020 in a close one. After last night, Bud is an easy pick.
I argued Spence wasn't the same prior to the Garcia fight, and my opinion hasn't changed. He protected his jaw well last night by boxing, which I also expected him to do.
Anybody making any bold predictions right now is just being purely emotional. We haven't seen anything from both that would hint at this not being a 50-50 fight. The only thing I've seen is Spence's stamina late, which normally isn't a problem, he stopped Brook and knocked down Porter in the 11th, but against Danny he was tired mentally and physically after 8 and had to take 3 rounds off. But that could just be a 1 time thing due to the layoff, but it could also be the weight cut getting to him, we don't know yet. Other than that both have, apart from skills, the heart and the chin to hang in there and give the other guy a great fight win lose or draw. That's why that fight needs to happen.
