Although I do absolutely think Crawford can win...I believe Spence will win. With that said, a lot was made of the fact that Crawford stopped Porter and Spence didn't. The rumors came out that Porter had one foot out the door and didn't train as hard as he did in the past. Well, Shawn himself confirmed these very things on his podcast: This content is protected So I don't believe the version of Porter that Terrence fought was as hungry as the one Spence fought. And the way he explains it isn't even like a guy making excuses either.
Who cares about how Spence or Crawfish dealt with common opponents. Spence & Crawford dealt with bumrush Porter as they needed to. Crawford is either going to show what nuanced skillsets do to a more crude pressure fighter (who has a naff eye, no teeth and is over the hill) OR Spence is going to find everything he has on that night and show Crawford who's the real big dog and leave Crawford ring circling like Amir Khan. Both can stop one another. Neither have been stopped. Crawford's skills should pay the bills on paper but Spence is looking to rip up that cheque. People like to compare this Hagler Hearns but that's NONSENSE because both Crawford & Spence will likely head off into retirement after this fight. They both know it might be a close fight and if that happens it's good for them because rematch money is desired.
Crawford wins and the closer we get the more I’m sure it will happen. Spence looked like a starving teenager at the Ugas weigh in and that was almost a year and a half ago. I think his punch resistance will be at an all time low at this weight, and facing Crawford, that’s a recipe for disaster.
If Crawford starts quicker I think he can absolutely win but he hasn't historically and that may cost him 3 of the first 4 and that would be enough to lose the fight.
Spence doesn't exactly start fast either. It takes several rounds before Spence starts ramping up the pressure.
Yeah I get that as well but I think his style (and the fact the fight is in Vegas) means Spence will get the benefit of the doubt on scorecards. I personally think TC is under a bit more pressure to start fast.
Could be but man just looking at how athletic Crawford is with his defense & attack, the major point i see would be the foot work & speed i see it as Terence's biggest asset in this one.
That's why Crawford stopped him in ten and if his daddy hadn't got scared, he would have knocked him completely out.
Of course Spence fight the better Porter, there's never been any doubt about it to me. But that doesn't guarantee his victory at all, comparison by common opponents is not always a reliable method to predict the future.
If porter said then it's a wrap put it on the main line This the same porter who acts like he beat up n didn't rob ugas didn't he also claim plant over benavidez yup and said wilder over fury, Ryan over tank n the list goes on by the gifted pundit
So your telling me Porter and his whole team just took a **** on haglers legacy. How disrespectful. Nobody is wearing "war" into the ring when not in tip top. That is straight CAPadonna.
