Spence vs. Crawford

this fight will be a war.. I'm picking Spence... but Crawford is dangerous too, he can connect and end the fight early...

Im going with Crawford, too dynamic. Spence tends to lunge with his punches and that plays right into Crawford who is a master of catching opponents between punches. Also think his lateral movement gives Spences come forward style trouble. Crawford stops Spence late.

If this is a war Crawford is going to lose. I dont think this will be Hagler/Hearns or anything like that. Itll be strategic at first then someone is going to get caught and that will go out the window and punches will start flying. If its short i like Bud to win in sudden dramatic fashion. If he cant get Spence out then itll be Bud getting worn down by the bigger man and stopped late.

On the flip side Spence has never been put in a situation where had to become a "dog" so who knows if he has that in him. What he is, is an extremely calm under control by the text book boxer/puncher. Crawford is much more innovative with his punches and has shown when he does get caught his instincts are to let the hands fly, sometimes wildly which could play in to Spence if he stays collected.

I think once Crawford switches to southpaw in the mid rounds it will cause problems for Spence.
 
Spence majority decision.

This is why I like Spence, Bud has been getting hit more lately and he does get wild and gets caught even more. If that happens against Spence, he gets knocked out. I’ll take Spence by decision only because he’s bigger and very sound. Crawford is the better boxer but Spence is no slouch and he’s younger. He wins BARELY!
 
So happy this day has come never got too excited because it was always too good to be true. Errol has been my favorite fighter for a long time now so I’m hella pumped. The way he breaks people down to the body is a sight to behold but Crawford ain’t no pushover. He’s the favorite for the reason but if this was before the Spence accident I think he would be the favorite in the fight. Me and my boys ordered both this PPV and the UFC PPV gonna be a good ass night.

Spence +135 let’s gooo

Spence was hurt against Ugas, took a lot of shots from Porter and was getting roughed up early against Brook. Guys get hit and hurt. Lartey nearly had Spence out on his feet and hes a light hitter. Its boxing. Guys get hit.

One thing missing here is animosity. Them being friendly makes me think it will be a tactical fight going the distance and not a war slugfest. Am I wrong?

Agreed…not just better, a very smart boxer as well. Should be a good one, but Crawford never seems to tire before his opponents.

There has been some trash talk, but there is mutual respect admiration. These are two dudes putting it all on the line while in their athletic primes. We waited forever for Mayweather/Pacquiao. That fight in my opinion lost its luster. I love it when undefeated fighters in their prime come together. They're not always the greatest fights like Delahoya/Trinidad kinda disappointed, but the the anticipation/buildup is awesome. Great for the sport.

Youre wrong. Bud is an absolute killer in the ring. He and Shawn Porter are very good friends but you saw what he did to him. Shawn wasnt in there taking it light on Bud either. Spence has got that dog in him and all that respect and friendship goes out the window when the bell rings.
 
This is going to be a methodical, disciplined, patient, professional beat down of a great champion named Crawford from another great Champion named Errol Spence. Crawford will not be able to dance the whole fight. I'm a fan of both of these brothas but gotta go with the DFW kid on this. Ask Floyd Mayweather about Errol Spence.

This fight is a money-grab. Crawford with the early knockout. Spence probably the most overrated fighter ever besides Tyson.

I was right yet again. Go figure.
