    Yep, haven't been this hyped for a fight in a while. Bbq and a good bottle of scotch.

    Spence body frame is 2-3 weight classes bigger than Bud though.

    We'll see but Spence only has to "step forward" because he's fighting smaller men. Wouldn't have same success against larger opponents

    What about Crawford's fighting style makes you think he will run? The man has literally stopped every WW he's fought.

    How do people come up w this stuff??

    I don't think it matters much, neither guy is really evasive.

    I guess Bud could try to jab and move but I don't think he's faster going backwards than Spence is coming forward so I don't see it working well.

    I don't think he was saying Crawford WILL run. He was responding to me saying that unless Crawford DID run all night, he will also get hit. I was saying that because some seem to think that TC isn't even going to get hit and just walk in throwing bombs.

    Pretty sure none of us see either fighter running July 29th.

    If he stands in front of EJ then it’s a wrap.

    Same thing I've said thread after thread just shows u who know n the ones who now think speed is not a major factor in the fight

    Why bother rambling when we have a daily Self Expose

    Haha yeah, nonono. Crawford was hit and hurt by Kavalikus and Porter and every WW. Crawford moved a lot when he was younger but kind of counter intuitively Crawford likes to FIGHT more at WW.

    Good for us fans I guess

    You gotta get outta this mindset, mate. Its not Team EJ OR Team Bud. Theyre both WORLD CLASS fighters!! This fight is a treat and we're lucky its happening.

    The funny thing is they could fight 10 times and fans still might not know whose better. True gem...and in less than 2 weeks!!

    There’s been some punches landed that have visibly wobbled Spence from lesser fighters. I think Crawford can land at least one.
