    So chinny AF Gamboa can last 9, but Errol is out in 6?

    Since 2013 Bud has finished 3 guys in under 6 rounds and 16 went 6 or more.

    Bud must have bought Toney a burger king, now he is brainwashed

    Crawford was young and drained at 135 and Gamboa was in his prime, Errol Spence got rocked by Ugas (pillow hands) his last fight and made to do the stanky leg right before his mouth piece fell out, Crawford has knocked out everyone at WW. Spence does not move his head

    Very nice observation about Spence not moving his head...
    I'm taking Bud by stoppage in this one and am willing to bet on it.

    I think Spences coach said moving your head constantly is wasting energy but im not sure if he actually said that

    The only guy who is worried about getting hurt in this bout is Crawford.

    & the one who is worried about getting outpointed over the distance is Spence

    Crawford clearly has more power at 147 than he did as a drained 135 pound kid. With that being said Spence is tough I don't see either fighter being knocked out

    He didn't stop Postol and of all the WW only 2 were stopped before 6. Amir Khan lasted until the 6th so I mean that alone makes Toney's comment ridiculous.
    Not saying Crawford won't win or KO him but to say Spence is LUCKY to go 6 is idiotic.

    He was running around against Postol and Khan went survival mode

    And Spence is just gonna stand there and get KO'd? Come on.
    Benevidez didn't run and he stood there for 12 rounds. Porter wasn't on his bike and wasn't fighting in survival mode.

    I would say most definitely on the downside of his prime at 34 or so, and he was also highly inactive (2 fights in nearly 3 years) and a blown up Featherweight.
    50 Cent exponentially ruined that guy with inactivity and idiotic decisions.
