I've always wanted to see this fight because Spence had an ass whooping coming. Despite having a resume lacking any top names Crawford is still top class. Spence is not. It's a mismatch in boxing ability and skill. My bookie was offering -126 odds for Crawford Moneyline. I'd take that all day long and twice on Sunday. I'd have made a small fortune on Crawford. It's not every day that you see a line like that for a fighter of Crawford's quality. You'd have to be an idiot to not lay a -126 on Crawford. Odds should have been set at -250 for Crawford. Spence just isn't that great.
Crawford hasn't fought anyone and never wanted anything to do with Spence He's the king of fighting leftovers with a pretend welterweight resume. Left over basically retired Porter with barely any life left in him. Left over basically retired Khan who isn't a welterweight anyway Left over basically retired Brook chopped leg druggy & he's ducking a brutally weight drained broken eye no jaw bone left post lambo crash Spence.
I think a strong, healthy Spence has the tools to beat Crawford, but the more this drags on the more I favor Bud. I feel like Spence has been walking on egg shells ever since the crash, and it didn’t help that he looked ridiculously drained at the Ugas weigh in. That was last year! If he gets in there with Bud at 147, I think it’s more of a question of when he gets stopped.
Spence is a stiff slow and methodical 147 pounder. Crawford is fluid and skilled. Also, the odds are even at -112 apiece.
