Bud in a close pts Win. Both fighters will be cautious from the off and as we get to the mid rds whilst we're getting some good exchanges no one is looking the better man. Think the fight will be won in the last few rds on pts by Bud.
Crawford doesnt need to chop down an opponent to stop him...a couple of well placed punch the opponent doesnt see would do the same job than the hundred punches spence must throw to "break his opponent".
This. I think you're right, the first few rounds are going to be slow and methodical until they both find some urgency with the unknown of how the cards are going through 4. 4-8 things will kick off and if one can assert themself in the championship rounds I wouldn't be surprised if it goes to a SD. I'm still not sure who's going to do more to take the win, as the fight could play out any number of ways...Which, in turn, is exactly what boxing should be about. I'm not a big Crawford fan, but appreciate he's one hell of a fighter. He can beat Spence, just like Spence can beat Crawford. Spence has a few question marks on his durability post-crash, however, I have the same concerns about Crawfords chin. People can say what they want, but Mean machine and Gamboa hurt Crawford. If they can, Spence can. Anyone proclaiming that one is going to dominate the other is really going out on a limb, as this really is a pick-em-fight.
