    One single punch can change a fight.

    Can Crawford take Spence's punch ?

    If he can, then i believe his boxing IQ will win him the fight.

    If not,....

    Yes, I agree. But not only chin. Apart from the chins, the one who wants the victory the most is the one who will win. Is Spence willing to suffer like he has never suffered before to win that fight? And Crawford? They are both very good punchers that will likely test each other's will.

    There is a reason why this is the most important fight that can be done now in the lower weights (not HW, I mean).

    Imho Crawford's will is stronger. We will see.

    No idea whose' will is stronger.

    But no amount of will can strenghten a jaw.

    I think it's Errol who has more of a chance of winning by decision if they can both take each other's power.

    Bud has more power and is the better finisher.

    Neither has great punch resistance. I'd say they're average until proven otherwise as they've not fought many legit bangers at all. Stick them in there against a Super Boots and I can't see the talking many cleans shots from him at all.

    Spence is a urination fighter, as in if he gets into his rhythm he'll urinate all over you, figuratively speaking that is. I think Crawford has come up against the urination fighter style before but not a practitioner of it this physically big and that's what makes it interesting.

    Spence likes to impose his will on his opponents but that's much easier to do against career 140s and blown up 135s and light-average punchers.

    Crawford is the feisty type and he's not going to allow Spence to impose his will on him or urinate on like that. He might well opt to box but he'll be looking to punish and hurt Spence with sneaky hurtful counters as he's coming in and we've seen Spence hurt numerous times by lesser punchers.

    i doubt it, only way crawford is getting hit like that is if he senses spence weakening and he runs into something.

    at 147 i think crawford has better stamina and chin. 154, maybe not. Being a larger guy doesnt help spence here, it will be to his detremint

    I have no idea whose gonna win ...and that's because I have no idea how good either are.... Crawfords made it to 35 and has a threadbare resume and Spence gave Floyd a black eye once lol

    What's the best win between them ... Spence's over brook? Which was pretty neck n neck til his eye socket went.

    Just to clarify...I don't dislike either fighter...I just lament their careers...both come on the scene at young ages and have fought nobody really .. absolute waste.

    Picking Crawford to win ..think he's got abit more dog in him

    Spence is tougher and has a better chin....but he is more open to get hit.

    Few years ago I'd pick Spence every day of the week to pin Crawfish but not anymore. He's become a little worn and that weight must be so hard for him now. 33 years old and his entire career at 147. That weight is not easy no matter what people say. He could lose this fight on the scales.
