    Seems like he got his weight under control.

    He also seems to be making a lot of appearances though, while Crawford just seems to be in training camp. I don’t know.

    He is just confident and locked in preparing very well.

    No just attended his camp mate’s fight in the same city. Crawford is the one doing lots of media interviews.

    There is one aspect that a lot of people are leaving out and that is the "trainers". Derrick James is a much better trainer than BoMac and Spence has the better camp. There's a lot of grab assing going on at BoMacs camp

    Spence is cut from the cloth of Hagler, GGG, Mike, and Duran where he applies "smart" pressure. This isn't Marcos Madianna or Jeff Horn

    I just feel like there are a number of misconceptions that are going to come to light in this fight.

    I was thinking that as well. It’s seems to be pretty much just Derrick James and Errol Spence. But Crawford got a whole bus load full of buddy’s with him. With a fight of this magnitude pretty good chance one or more of them start to get too exited and start becoming a distraction.

    I have always said Spence is a mixture of the mindset mentality of fellow southpaw Marvelous Marvin Hagler, the body punching ability of the body snatcher Mike McCallum also of Jamaican ancestry and the fundamental skills set of fellow Texan the Lone Star Cobra Donald Curry.

    I agree people will be shocked that there is a disparity in skills with EJ being better skilled, better defence and more X-factor.

    Spence Jr won't lose a single round to Crawford and will embarrass him. He will KO Crawford in round 9, in my opinion.

    Agreed, plus Spence has that quiet confidence about him like he’s been preparing for Crawford for years..

    I’m so pumped for this fight
