If Spence gets past Garcia tonight then this fight has to happen in the future. The Truth vs. Bud, who you got?
Gotta say Spence is the more seasoned and accomplished fighter at this point. I doubt the fight happens anytime soon.
Crawford on points by a comfortable decision. From what I've seen so far, Spence hasn't convinced me. He has this fight against Mikey to convince me. Anything other than a dominant ko win shows that he's not the real deal. If he goes 12 rounds with Mikey (Which is what I expect), then he's not got a chance in hell against Crawford. Mikey is smaller than Terence so I see this fight as Spence facing a mini, more aggressive version of Crawford. Spence keeps with a slow stance and that's his main downfall. By keeping a solid stance like that, he lacks head movement and is therefore prone to clean jabs and the uppercut. Against a 'box and move' style that is fatal to his chances. Of course as I said..he has this fight to show me otherwise. Look out for this fight against Mikey. It is a clear indicator of how Spence vs Crawford goes.
Benavidez is a very good fighter though. Just a shame about his leg. Spence isnt that caliber of counter puncher.
There is a pattern here though. Any Crawford opponent that had a tad bit of skill or talent, has touched him up a bit. If Gamboa was a bit fresher, we wouldn't even be talking about Crawford right now. Crawford is lucky he never fought Broner at lightweight
I'll take it a step further and state that Crawford is lucky it wasn't Broner in there at 135, instead of Gamboa. The Broner that beat up DeMarco, beats the Crawford that fought Gamboa.
Who are these guys though? Gamboa and benavidez, these guys are excellent counter punchers. Spence is not, and crawford can take the few punches spence will land, I dont think spence can take crawforda punches as well. Edit: srry, hadnt read your post all the way, but I was right, it was gamboa you were refering too. You dont have to worry, because spence simply isnt that style wise. Edit: srry again, didnt read all the way. Broner seriously?
