    ooof that's a good prediction I like it. I see Crawford going for walkies whilst ahead a number of rounds then Spence vacuuming up the final ones.

    Kavaliaskus is a "monster puncher"? OK dude, whatever you say. He hasn't knocked out anyone of note. I can show you guys with 100% KO because they haven't fought at the top. Mikey is not the biggest puncher Earl has faced either.

    Prepare excuses? Are you a child? If either guy loses it was because he fought a top guy that either had a better night or had a style that was more effective. Why would someone on an internet forum need to make an excuse for a fighter they don't even know? I actually like both, I just feel it will go Spence's way.

    He is a very hard puncher, no doubt. But to call someone a "monster puncher" they have had to do it against elite talent and he doesn't have that on his resume.

    Danny Garcia for one is a harder puncher than Mikey. There is no need for anyone who is an adult to make excuses for a prediction about a fight. Just because someone guesses right doesn't mean they know more about boxing than anyone else. We are all guessing. I might be wrong about this prediction and Vegas seems to think I will be. I am certain we could go through everyone's posts and find wrong picks.

    I agree with your assessment overall not sure about Avanesyan's power though & the shoulder injury was legit, Loma even got surgery for it it's why i prefer fighters repairing their injury before the big fights.

    Yes Pacquiao's was well detailed too & had a long year off after surgery to rehab,

    Point is the fighters just completely risk it when really they should be repairing the problem but i think their ego creeps into it with them thinking they can hold it off until after the bout only for them to then lose their fight in order for them to see the bigger picture but by then it's too late.

    Do you think Crawford could have chopped down and destroy Ugas the way Spence did? I don't think any welterweight in the past 20 years could have done that, feel free to name one that could.

    All this back & forth and the one thing you didn’t mention was Crawford being knocked down by mean machine.

    With your triangle theories, does that mean that Spence knocks Crawford down then? No, it doesn’t.

    You like to make a fuss about people making excuses but you’re quick to dismiss the fact you’re one of Canelo’s die hard excusers.

    I don't think so, Crawford would outpoint that version of Ugas yes but not put on the type of extreme pressure that Spence did to force the stoppage, I don't think any welterweight in the past 20 years could have done that.

    When I see a unique victory like that it tells me he's a bit better than the rest. Obviously there's other variables involved but I won't bother getting into that.

    There's a high chance of tbud stopping him with a TKO by cornering him and even his corner stopping it even then a UD decision seems to be it

    Gamboa made his legs turn to jelly and Mean Machine dropped him despite referee not ruling it an official knockdown. Imagine what EJ is going to do to him. EJ is going to break him down physically, mentally and spiritually taking his soul.

    You want to get Bud killed by putting him in with a Super Middleweight who has fought at Light Heavyweight.

    You are only correct in the sense that Spence is much better than both Kessler and Calzaghe. Spence is a special effects fighter.
