Spence's advantages being discounted too much

Because his fans are saying that he is way better than anyone else in that division.

Because his fans are saying that he will KO Bud.

So what's the problem ? No need for controversial decision/close fight/robbery.

 

The timing and accuracy is what sets Crawford apart. That's why he is able to handle faster fighters. Spence needs to take TC out before TC gets Spence's timing down. I think TC's check hook will be the difference maker in the fight.

 

I'm thinking that most commentators aren't giving Spence much of a chance against Crawford, who is being built up to be an ATG monster;
why, I don't know. The level of his competition is much lower than Spences' for example. Guys like Atlas wax poetical about Crawford.
Well, let's see.

 

Ok, who you got in this fight? I've already picked Spence.

 

Yea, I love Spence and think Crawford is crazy overrated, but the damage Spence took is starting to show in the ring. I think it’s becoming a conversation of whether or not Spence might have to take an early retirement

 

Spence will apply constant & consistent pressure In order to methodically break Bud down.

i fully expect Bud to catch him coming in a couple of times with some absolutely nasty counter combos.

How Spence takes those shots & holds up to them as well if he can respond will determine who wins.

I got Spence by decision with a live dawg chance of Bud ending the night with a TKO.

50/50

 

The total complete breakdown about Crawford being overrated seems to slip past most Spence fans.

OK, you say he is overrated, fine I won't debate that. Part of what it means is Crawford hasn't been through tough fights like Spence. Tough fights take something out of a boxer and every boxer leaves the ring with less of themselves than they entered with.

Spence has been through tougher battles against a younger Porter, twelve rounds and Kell Brook, eleven rounds. Crawford fought lesser versions of those guys and stopped both earlier than Spence so he suffered less sustained damage from his best opponents.

Then you have the car wreck combined with the lapse in reaction and awareness after both Garcia and Ugas landed in him. Crawford may be overrated but Spence is more damaged.

 

It's just his age really. I thought he looked just a pinch slower against Porter too.

Neither of them has looked bad or shot yet by any means.

 

Yeah I hear you, I feel the same way about Crawford, there is nothing great about him.

 

That's what I was thinking too.

 

Prime Spence beats Prime Crawford

Sure Crawford has better boxing craft with his level of nuance but Spence overcomes it his physical advantages. It's a close fight especially early doors with Crawford probably pulling ahead.

Not sure where it stands now though.

 

Mean Machine dropped Crawford and Ugas is better than Mean Machine...enough said.
