    This fight is to prove who the number two welter is right now and whoever loses is just going to move up in weight. Neither of them lose much.

    Not that straightforward. Spence in his only weight class while Crawford in his 3rd. Crawford was unified prior and Spence has the stronger resume.

    Spence will be expected to win.

    On this forum, it's Crawford. He has way more detractors related to the quality of opposition. If he loses there will be a decent amount of forum members saying I told you so.

    In the real world, neither will lose much as far as how they are thought of. The biggest thing the loser of the fight loses is what he would gain by winning the fight.

    Assuming no shenanigans, the winner of this fight will solidify his status as one of the very best if not the best of his era. The loser, not so much.

    Neither have anything to lose regardless of the outcome. Two fight deal, make more than either has ever made. No matter what the results, both will certainly retire.

    No need to mention any other names such as Boots etc, those guys are fresh and young and only then will Spence & Crawford have something to lose.

    Hoping for a TKO for both, then force a trilogy. Best outcome for everyone

    I don't know. Word problems was my biggest weakness with math -_-. In fact I got so tired of seeing them that I used to wing those on math tests.

    Spence has more to lose IMO he is the younger man. Crawford is already 35 and a multiple weight world champion, former undisputed champion.

    With a weak resume though. If he gets stopped people will look at him as overhyped.
