crawford statement win. Then canelo next. To much money to be left on the table. The skill disparity will be more apparent then the weight factor. If crawford can handle spence he handles canelo easy.
Well since none of you said it and it wasn't an option, what hell, let's go with a draw. Both guys have major strengths that can offset each other. Spence is a bit bigger and stronger and has better output. However, Crawford is more crafty, more elusive and a better counter puncher. Neither guy seems to have a clear advantage in handspeed or chin. Power advantage probably goes to Spence but it's not quite definitive. It makes for a boat load of close, even rounds. It may take two fights or a trilogy to see who's truly superior. But who knows. Let's see.
I think that is being overhyped. Look at the replay, Spence spit out the piece because he got punched in the throat. Spence searching for the mouthpiece was foolish for sure though.
Uh, you realize Benavidez was stopped in the 12th round right? And he probably has a better chin than Spence.
Spence Jr is the most versatile active boxer at the moment. He is way above Crawford's level. Spence Jr wins by KO. Easy fight for Spence Jr.
Crawford snap short & long punches & with his speed along with having better foot work seems to be the logical choice for me.
Tbud quick money! Derick James might even go to 0-3 wait make it 1-3 that iz if AJ can shorten Whyte out That ain't so bad for the trainer of the year
If you want to sleep think benavides has a better chance then spent that I don't know what the hell to tell you
And comfort has never been in there with someone who can apply pressure has an elite jab and has really good power. Like David said if I have a stone shield and you have a glass shield which one is going to break first
Crawford will be up after round 9 in a close fight. Spence will sweep 10, 11, and 12 to take a decision victory. 115-113. No KOs. No knockdowns. Just a very compelling fight worthy of a rematch.
They are both are going to be losers against Crawford. Spence is a good, fundamental fighter but he is also fairly basic. You need more than that to beat Crawford IMO. It's going to be Calzaghe-Kessler all over again. One guy was a solid, fundamentally sound fighter with no special effects. The other guy was a special talent with more skills in the ring. That is what is going to happen in this fight, except I don't think Spence is as durable as Kessler (Calzaghe also isn't the puncher Crawford is). I think Crawford is going to stop him after maybe a slowish start.
That is a huge inaccurate "point" Postol brings up you mean. Crawford has never faced as tenacious and ACCURATE power puncher that is defensively sound and is excellent at applying pressure and cutting off the ring as Spence.
