    He wasnt rocked but was silly going for the mouthpiece when it was knocked out. As he got pushed back to the ropes he was actually smiling and then just stepped up a gear and dominated the rest of the fight.

    Id say Spence was more Like JC due to the far greater output. Not that Kessler wasnt active but Joe was busy every minute of every round and usually threw over 1000 shots per fight

    Don’t think Avanesyan is in the same class as Ugas.

    Correct on output and style Spence is more similar to Calzaghe but I think Spence is even better than our Super Joe Calzaghe.

    Spence is the better skilled fighter. Flashier does not mean better skilled.

    I never understood that adage. What if the clock is so broken the hands have fallen off?

    Agreed that Spence is better fundamentally but Crawford is the more skilled in terms of a wider range of shots and also is a switch hitter. You want to call that flashy, ok. It still works at a high level, that's the main thing.

    Crawford has more pop on his shots, where his flashiness, could make the difference. Which is why I lean more towards him winning.

    You seem emotionally invested in Spence I hope for your sake he wins. You're going to be in serious depression if he doesn't lol.

    Then it's Schrodinger's clock and could be right or wrong 24/7.

    No, that would be a Japanese boxer who fought earlier this week.

    Home boy Spence is going to crack open Bud like a can of Bud Light.

    You're going to weep like a Dylan Mulvaney when Bud Light gets beat in a convincing and non controversial manner this weekend. Get your hankie ready.
