    Spence is slow. Compared to bud.

    Crawford speed, length, and accuracy will be too much for spence.

    Spence cant ko a lightweight mikey gafcia because hes slow and mikey saw everything coming. Spence cant set his pubches up. Just comes straight at you. Even a small lightweoght was able to see everything and take a step back.

    Spence is damaged.

    I would give huge credit to him, if he manages to be competitive after 6th round


    Anyway, my bet is: Bud by KO rounds 8-10

    Mikey came to lose so fought for survival not to win and Spence came to box long

    Mikey has always been tough as nails.

    Timing beats speed, and Spence has great timing.

    No he doesnt. He wasnt able to ko a lightweight, fat, and slow mike garcia.

    Mikey isnt even a runner, so him trying to survive isnt relevant.

    Spence couldnt cut the ring off and set his punches up to land any. Actually spence was super winded in that fight because he was hitting air and gloves.

    Crawford is faster no doubt and while Spence didn't KO Mikey, he also shut him out so I don't see why a lack of KO matters. Crawford isn't going to hurt Spence with a single punch though, he is going to have to land consistently and that isn't going to be easy imo. It will be interesting to see who can dictate the pace and distance. I am very excited. This is the most 50/50 big fight I have seen in a long time.

    Why do I keep seeing this brought up? He shut out Mikey Garcia so who cares? So he didn't nut-punch him and get a "ko" like Crawford did to Khan. Who cares? Winning is all that matters and that is what both these guys do.
    Crawford won't fight the way Mikey did so it will be a different fight. Unless TC is on his bike all night, Erroll is gonna touch him up (and vice -versa) both these guys gonna take shots.

    No disrespect, but I'm starting to think many posters on this board are biased due to their hate for PBC. Thomas Hearns was faster than Hagler, how did that work out for him? Julian was faster than Mike? How did that work out for him? Anyone hear who thinks that Crawford is just going to Ko Spence does not know boxing. There isn't a huge skill disparity between the two (both have their advantages and disadvantages). Also, anyone using Porter as a measuring stick, is being silly. Thurman, Brook, and Ugas handled Porter better than Spence but Spence beat Brook and Ugas. This board is becoming a joke

    Spence won every round by outboxing Mikey. Mikey, even at 147, is better than every welterweight that Crawford fought.

    foot and hand speed and crawford biggest advantage is balance.

    Crawford can try to run all night but he cannot hide and Spence is going to touch him up very well.
