    Well Spence didn't show much fatigue or loss of pop last night.. in fact I was very impressed by his work rate ..

    He has always had that and moves through the gears. He physically abuse any Welterweight.

    People act like they weren't watching that fight. Everybody knew that Porter was about to get knocked clean out or beaten into submission.

    Porter won rounds against Spence as well.

    Spence solution to all problems is "more workrate" "more bullying". Ugas had not the dynamite to keep him at bay and honest, but crawford has. Spence will "bully more" when he finds the first problem facing crawford. So crawford will connect more. So Spence will bully even more. So crawford will connect even more... and so on.

    A very similar fight as the fight with porter. I choose crawford, and not only I choose crawford, but I choose crawford by ko in the late rounds.

    But anyway, we know nothing that spence doesnt know. So forget about this crawford vs spence fight, we will never watch it.

    Spence collected 3 of the Welterweight belts, IBF for his beautiful lady, WBC and WBA belts for his 2 beautiful daughters and will rip the WBO belt off Bud Crawford for his baby son and collect the Ring belt for himself. He already holds the Lineal title.[url]

    I slightly favor Crawford, but it’s a winnable fight for either guy. Let’s not make Crawford into a defensive wizard. He doesn’t like fighting on the inside and had Porter not being so overly aggressive and smother his own work rate, he could’ve lasted 12 rounds with Crawford and that fight was very close at some point. Spence is less explosive than Porter, but he’s a more calculated and defensively responsible aggressor. Overall, I still think Crawford will win it simply because Spence is too slow and basic.

    Yep. Bradley predicted that the fight would go like that because he knows Spence's qualities and Ugas's flaws. From 0:55:

    What you have to realize is that if Crawford had of fought Ugas, he would have also took Ugas's belt and quite possibly in a more dramatic fashion.

    Yes but let’s put into perspective that Tim Bradley is Terence Crawford’s friend and buddy.

    I was referring to his prediction for Spence-Ugas, which was spot on. Don't think I listened to his take on Spence-Crawford.
