    EJ is a combination puncher. He is going to beat the **** out of Bud who I respect a lot, then we are going to smoke Bud.

    Yes something that would not have been an issue for him pre-crash. pre-torn retina. Pre 30's. There's no denying Spence has more than peaked and on the slide.

    He's probably fought quite a few urination fighters albeit not ones who are as big as Spence or with such a steady stream of urine. He will have come up against the urination style before though because it's a basic one. And he will have seen it in the gym many times.

    Spence has never fought a spiteful punching highly skilled counter punching slickster (albeit the American school of slickness) like Crawford though and he's usually the one who has the reach advantage. But Mr 74'' reach Crawford always has the reach advantage in world title fights and that will be the case in this instance too.

    If it comes down to Chin, then Crawford is on for a long night. Crawford has been hurt a lot more against lesser opposition.

    I get your point but I still stick to to the fact that the fighters spent his fault when he fought them would beat every fighter that Crawford has fought including the versions of Brooke and Porter that Crawford fought that is one thing that a lot of people are missing here the vast difference in competition

    Nevermind the click bait title. But a decent compilation on how Errol takes a good hit

    Garcia didn`t KO any welters and Bud has sparked every welter he has fought.

    I can see Crawford hurting Spence and going for the kill only to run into a Spence wild and sneaky counter.

    One thing for sure those welters were not EJ, that’s for sure.
