Why is everyone leaning towards a "Crawford KO"?

Agreed, I believe it was the Kavaliaskas fight where he caught Bud with a solid shot and I saw a change come over Bud. He put his transmission into 4 wheel drive and went after him and started beating him up. As you said, he became spiteful,,,,,and mean.

 

I suspect a clean KD at least from Bud in the championship rounds.

 

My main reason for Crawford TKO:

1) Spence defense is good, but not great. He will get hit and he does get hurt. He doesn't have a Wladimir Klitschko chin, but he gets hurt.
2) Spence is the overall better boxer, but Crawford is amazingly adaptable to different situations.
3) Crawford wants a dogfight, but is patient and will pounce instantly.
4) Spence has too many lulls in action that will give Crawford many opportunities.

I don't think it will be a one-shot KO, that's just not Crawford at Welterweight. He still has power, but I think he will hurt Spence and then not let him recover leading to a TKO.

 

Whilst Crawford was (unofficially) dropped by Kavaliauskas and hurt by Gamboa, I sense more vulnerability in Spence. Whilst anyone can be clipped and hurt, the way Spence just seemed to freeze and lose his bearings after being clipped by Ugas was somewhat reminiscent of the way AJ froze up against Whyte and Ruiz. Crawford carries power and is a master of hitting landing shots you don't see coming; I see him stopping Spence (even if he has to negotiate a few difficult moments along the way).

 

Crawford has been hurt more than spence what do you say about that

 

Is there even 1 trainer, who said that Spence will KO Bud ?

 

I'm fully prepared for a sparring session with a boring split decision and rematch.

 

Good points i agree.

 

It will go the distance and will be a fairly boring, lackluster fight.

Spence's style very much suits Crawford's own. Similar to Pac-JMM.
