    Both Spence and Crawford are special fighters but Spence is even more special as will be demonstrated on the 29th of July. Spence fundamentals are superior to those of Crawford, Calzaghe and Kessler and it’s not close.

    Nah, there is nothing from his resume to suggest any of that. His best win is probably Brook or Porter and he didn't exactly blow through those opponents. He's a good fighter but nothing really special.

    I guess we'll find out on next weekend. I'll have my money on Crawford.

    It's possible but I feel pretty good about this fight.

    For me, the main thing that seems to be overlooked about ESJ is his incredible attention to detail. If you listen to what he says you can tell he remembers every little detail and he is very much a student of the game. Even little things like him knowing TC doesn't like hot sauce shows the memory and attention to detail. You look at some of the shirts he makes and stuff and as funny as they are they also have depth to them.

    Spence may seem like a dopey eyed, chill guy but that guy obsesses about the fight game.

    I just realized that Errol hasn't fought in Las Vegas since the Phil Lo Greco fight, and that was eight years ago.

    This was my exact thinking though now the years have past with Crawford getting up there in age & in the same manner Errol has shaken off the dust & further regained his confidence by beating Ugas & Garcia back to back making it closer,

    This will be a dramatic matchup for sure can't wait.

    Man Errol looks bigger than I expected especially compared to how he was viewed in All Access & as expected he left nothing unturned, both guys are going to bring their all for this one.

    I want to say Bud by stoppage, but I voted points because, well, I don’t know why. I’ve seen Spence wobbled a handful of times, and Crawford is better than the dudes that wobbled him. Also, Spence is looking and speaking like damaged goods lately, so I really don’t want him to beat my boy Bud, lol.

    And another thing, awful lot of people in here still drooling over Spence’s win against cyclops Brook.

    You are 100% spot on. Also in Derrick James he has the far better trainer and corner who is very much in the moment unlike Bo-Mac and team Crawford playing to the gallery.

    His speech is definitely different now than before the crash.
