Originally posted by KTFOKING View PostBoth will have to be on top of their games. Spence will have to be sharp like he was this past Saturday and may have to bring more heat early on than he did against Garcia. I can't recall the last time Crawford lost a round past the 6th round. Really, same applies to Spence as against Brook he took over from that part of the fight and never looked back and obviously this past weekend didn't lose a round, let alone in the 2nd half of the fight. Crawford is a master at dictating distance as well and is a sharp counter puncher. Both will have to adjust multiple times in the fight, but I'm with you, think Spence will be a bit too active for Crawford and will be able to take rounds that way. Also helps that he is the bigger puncher and will be able to make Crawford hesitate just enough.
One myth though is that Crawford has this amazing defense like he's Floyd. That's not the case. His defense is more leaky, especially early on, but he like Floyd, are master at making adjustments. That's what makes him tough to beat.
Just make this fight happen please, boxing fans deserve it with all the crap we put up.

He will not put Bud in with Errol nor Lomo in with Garcia (maybe now that Mikey took a beating) Otherwise that same golden goose story he played while PAC was with him. Look what he’s done to the Wilder-Fury rematch.

Originally posted by chrisJS View PostThis is how I see it. Crawford's footwork, ability to switch sides and punch on the go would make it very difficult for Spence to get set, so he'd struggle to put the necessary pressure on or pick his shots. Crawford has a good jab too and is the faster of the two, the better counter puncher also and his timing is at least as good.
Spence's chance is if he can put enough pressure on and bang away and suffocate Crawford using his size and strength but that's going to be too difficult for him to enforce IMO.
I like Crawford in a 116-112 type fight.

Originally posted by Butch.McRae View PostThe main difference is Crawford doesn't throw nearly as many punches and he actually gets hit more than Spence does. You're not beating a guy like Spence throwing (on average per round) 400-500 punches in a fight. It's just not going to happen with his skill set.
Bud will have to start much faster than usual and get on top of Spence earlier. If not, he could be down 3 or 4 rounds by the time he gets into a rhythm. His film is very telling. I get he has believers, but he's not as slick as people claim.
