    If this was just a couple of years ago, Bud for sure but he's 35 now so age has to play a big factor.

    But still gotta favor Bud. I think he's a tier above skillwise and he gets it done.

    And Bud has no power? He's KOed his last 8 opponents. Bud has that killer instinct. And i think his bag of tricks is just deeper. More skilled, more variety, more precise, just a notch better. Bud throws the sharper, shorter punches.

    This is the most meh I've ever been for a site of this quality and magnitude. Genuinely don't care that much. Maybe that will change as the fight gets closer, idk.


    Way past its shelf date.

    I personally feel like Erroll's skills get underestimated because he isn't flashy like Crawford is. He has excellent fundamentals and is a very big welter. Crawford is awesome as well but as much of killer instinct he has in him, I just feel that the dog in Spence is a much bigger mother effer than people think.
    Regardless of car accidents, etc I have always felt Spence is gonna win this.

    Kinda wild how both guys are slow-talking and sleepy/dead-eyed.

    I think Crawford will win but you are right. Spence gets underestimated because he isn't flashy. I'm one of those people who underestimates him. He is an excellent fighter but I just don't see why. I'm not sure what my problem is but I'm obviously a bit blind.

    I think he's more skilled, and more mentally tough.

    It's a 50/50 fight if I have ever seen one so everyone is within reason to pick one guy over the other. This is the defining fight for both guys so you would have to believe each will be at the peak of their form. This is probably the last year you could have said that for these 2.
    For me, I just think that the bodywork Spence should do early will pay off and he will take the late rounds and as hard as Crawford can bang and as fast and as skilled as he is I just don't think he will respond well to the bodywork of Spence. Just my opinion. I don't think this will disappoint fans like Mayweather Pac did.

    I agree. This will not be like Pacquiao-Mayweather. Not only are they younger but neither fighter is a defense first kind of guy. Barring injury this fight is going to happen and I can't wait.

    I'm genuinely surprised at people thinking something other than Spence getting slept will happen.
