    Crawford will be up after round 9 in a close fight. Spence will sweep 10, 11, and 12 to take a decision victory.

    115-113.

    No KOs. No knockdowns. Just a very compelling fight worthy of a rematch.

    They are both are going to be losers against Crawford.

    Spence is a good, fundamental fighter but he is also fairly basic. You need more than that to beat Crawford IMO. It's going to be Calzaghe-Kessler all over again. One guy was a solid, fundamentally sound fighter with no special effects. The other guy was a special talent with more skills in the ring. That is what is going to happen in this fight, except I don't think Spence is as durable as Kessler (Calzaghe also isn't the puncher Crawford is). I think Crawford is going to stop him after maybe a slowish start.

    That is a huge inaccurate "point" Postol brings up you mean. Crawford has never faced as tenacious and ACCURATE power puncher that is defensively sound and is excellent at applying pressure and cutting off the ring as Spence.

    Crawford has faced a monster power puncher in kavaliuskas, who now he has a 70% KO ratio but when he fought crawford he had close to an 80% KO ratio. A guy who CAN punch, for real. I dont know what you are talking about. And avanesyan's record does not reflect how hard he can punch, but anywone here knows that avanesyan can punch despite of his record.

    The hardest puncher that Spence has fought is lightweight Mikey. Good luck taking crawford's counter punches. He can always look for his mouthguard and try to get a way out when he's hurt, like that you all will have an excuse... "he was looking for his mouthguard duuuuuuude".

    Only 2 weeks left. Prepare your excuses, guys. I recommend the shoulder injury, that's a freaking classic.

    ooof that's a good prediction I like it. I see Crawford going for walkies whilst ahead a number of rounds then Spence vacuuming up the final ones.

    Kavaliaskus is a "monster puncher"? OK dude, whatever you say. He hasn't knocked out anyone of note. I can show you guys with 100% KO because they haven't fought at the top. Mikey is not the biggest puncher Earl has faced either.

    Prepare excuses? Are you a child? If either guy loses it was because he fought a top guy that either had a better night or had a style that was more effective. Why would someone on an internet forum need to make an excuse for a fighter they don't even know? I actually like both, I just feel it will go Spence's way.

    Lol, now kavaliuskas is not a monter puncher. Sure, dude, whatever. You insist in NOT saying those punchers that Spence has fought apart from lightweight mikey. You say "Mikey is not the biggest puncher Earl has faced either.", and then shut up... silence.... nothing but silence. At least you could say "wasted and destroyed one eyed brook is" and I would have some laughs. A lightweight and a oneeyed wasted fighter, lol.

    "Am I a child"? probably it's that, because in this forum nobody has made excuses NEVER EVER. NEVER. Right? so probably it is that I'm a child.

    "Why would someone on an internet forum need to make an excuse for a fighter they don't even know?"
    You kidding me? not sure if you are trolling me, since your account was not created yesterday.

    He is a very hard puncher, no doubt. But to call someone a "monster puncher" they have had to do it against elite talent and he doesn't have that on his resume.

    Danny Garcia for one is a harder puncher than Mikey. There is no need for anyone who is an adult to make excuses for a prediction about a fight. Just because someone guesses right doesn't mean they know more about boxing than anyone else. We are all guessing. I might be wrong about this prediction and Vegas seems to think I will be. I am certain we could go through everyone's posts and find wrong picks.

    Since you, Dany Garcia and his 52% KO ratio is a bigger puncher than Mikey with this 71% KO ratio.

    It explains a lot.

    Mikey can punch, and can punch for real. The hardest puncher Spence has fought, I repeat. Ofc the problem is that he is a lightweight, so at welter he probably punches like Danny more or less.

    Needless to say that Spence could not KO a lightweight, ofc.

    I agree with your assessment overall not sure about Avanesyan's power though & the shoulder injury was legit, Loma even got surgery for it it's why i prefer fighters repairing their injury before the big fights.

    Yes Pacquiao's was well detailed too & had a long year off after surgery to rehab,

    Point is the fighters just completely risk it when really they should be repairing the problem but i think their ego creeps into it with them thinking they can hold it off until after the bout only for them to then lose their fight in order for them to see the bigger picture but by then it's too late.

    Do you think Crawford could have chopped down and destroy Ugas the way Spence did? I don't think any welterweight in the past 20 years could have done that, feel free to name one that could.

    All this back & forth and the one thing you didn’t mention was Crawford being knocked down by mean machine.

    With your triangle theories, does that mean that Spence knocks Crawford down then? No, it doesn’t.

    You like to make a fuss about people making excuses but you’re quick to dismiss the fact you’re one of Canelo’s die hard excusers.
