    Yeah he saw him load up the OH left but I also think he actually set him up for that. He backed up to the ropes and purposefully dropped the right hand down to invite the OH left and loaded up for the counter uppercut as Spence throws the the overhand left.

    That's the genius of Crawford, he sets traps his opponents don't see coming. He doesn't even have to see the punch coming, because he's created a situation where he knows it's coming. Makes it look like he's got amazing reflexes when in truth it's amazing ring IQ along with amazing reflexes.

    True, Inoue does the same, looks like you are going to throw with the other hand, so opponents don't know which punch is coming and can't defend against the attack.

    Spence has great basic fundamentals which is why so many people were fooled into thinking he's some great technical boxer but Crawford has those next level skills, that break the conventional rules that novice boxers have to learn but grandmasters of the sport can put aside and replace with more advanced techniques.

    Spence was drained?

    You know Crawford has to drain to make 147 too, right?
