I think Bud wins. I like Spence a lot more but he’s been in some real fights, a car crash, and got an eye injury. Crawford hasn’t really taken much damage. That’s pretty much the only reason I’m picking Crawford though. Spence is the better fighter imo
It's a pretty close fight but i think Spence is easier to read than Crawford is. I think Crawford is good at working out his opponents. Spence is harder to work out than Porter is but isn't much harder to read when he comes inside throwing body shots because Crawford can jab and move. Crawford can fight going backwards which a lot of fighters can't do. Spence is a strong aggressor type but Crawford and even Thurman hit harder than him with a single punch. If Crawford lets Spence out strength him i could see him losing but it's more likely he'll jab, move and throw counters. Kell Brook for 5 rounds was giving Spence a lot of problems until Spence started breaking him down to the body and used his strength to outman him which let him land the more effective shots. Spence's main attributes are his strength, body work and his southpaw stance which cause problems. Crawford is the better mover of the two, harder hitter and arguably more skilled being able to switch hit if he needs to. It's a close fight but i favor Crawford and i think he will hurt Spence numerous times. This content is protected Danny Garcia saying Spence is not the biggest puncher but he's the strongest he's fought.
I think it will be close and a SD either way wouldn't surprise me but I lean towards Crawford who always just seems to be able to reach down for that something extra.
