    You have just proven to me as I have always suspected that you don’t have a proper detailed educated knowledge about boxing. You are merely an ESB moderator but you certainly are not a boxing teacher, coach or instructor. You are the type who thinks Sugar Ray Leonard was technically a better boxer than Hearns and Benitez not realising he had to find something extra when the other guy’s talent is better than yours which is already very high.

    Spence let’s his hands go more often than Bud; however, Bud has that killer instinct that Spence has been lacking for sometimes.

    I think this thing goes deep into the championship rounds and is still a 50/50 fight with the edge to H-Town Hero Spence unless Bud can drop him before the final bell.

    You obviously did not see Spence finish off Ugas. I guarantee you he finishes off Bud.

    Crawfish won’t be able to knock out the crash dummy. The guy got ejected from his car and still wasn’t KO’d

    Spence by late stoppage to the body

    You’d clearly missed where I predicted the winner as Spence—Got to go before I burn the burgers and then be back to Fry Guy

    I hope Spence wins because I don't like how Bud's career has been managed and I'm tired of having the unsubstantiated P4P talk shoved in my face.

    I find Bud to have a deeper skillset, but Spence has some nice matchups in this fight that make it interesting. Watching a switch hitter vs a southpaw will be fun on a chess match level. When Bud goes southpaw, he really likes to open up, because he creates angles exceptionally from a closed stance position.

    Bud uses the closed stance to take the jab away and foot trap his opponents, then uses the opportunities from that positioning to land big precise shots. Against Spence, if he does that he could be creating a set up for Spence to land a nice overhand left behind the jab. Bud won't be able to see it as well because he won't be able to neutralize the jab as easily with his lead hand since they will both be open.

    Errol has some pop, fighters tend to change their attitude once those big overhand lefts are whipping at their face. Mikey Garcia decided to stop boxing at that very moment, in fact. We'll just have to see. I'll go Spence UD after Bud tastes the power and becomes very negative for the whole fight.

    Crawford likes a tear up, he will not become gun-shy. Good chance Spence gets hurt since Crawford will be unloading with the big counters.

    I think Crawford has only had tear-ups vs. smaller, weaker and lesser opposition than Errol. I think he is a very calculated fighter and he opens up when he feels he has an enormous advantage or has just landed a really big counter shot, I see him taking a "dignified" loss before risking his chin and future prospects, his career has been managed super safely and I think his real attitude about fighting is somewhere in there. I think Bud's counterpunching would have to be his X factor in this one.

    Hilarious name btw

    Pacquiao is enough taking the belt off Pacquiao who beat the **** out of Keith Thurman and took his 0.
