    That was a good fight on paper. I wouldn’t have ever considered either of them P4P worthy though.

    They fought at the perfect time though, which rarely happens these days

    Bought the PPV this morning.

    I usually wake up at a sensible time on the Sunday and then got the recording.

    I can't find anyway to record this though on TNT sports through my Sky box - anyone got any ideas?

    Does anyone know what time the ring walks are scheduled ?

    i would prefer to wake-up rather than stay-up for this one, which for me is the biggest fight of year.

    Personally I think Crawford will shine, but Errol seems to have nine lives, especially after the car accident, so anything is possible.

    Hopefully it lives up to all the expectations and we don't get another Chavez v Whitaker type decision.

    Thanks for the replies.

    Just bought the PPV

    Can't wait, If Crawford does a number on Spence, or vice-versa then IMO the winner has to considered No 1 P4P at this stage with Inoue a close number 2.

    I have to agree with this. What Inoue is doing through the weights is inspiring, but Spence or Crawfords zero on your resume takes some beating

    I went onto sky tv guide and searched for the channel and bought it that way. When I searched by voice recognition, it came up but I couldn’t order it. Bizarre.

    Honestly I worry for Spence Jr. That guy is clearly slurring his words anytime I’ve seen him interviewed recently.

    His outside the ring antics have affected him badly and Crawford should be looking to walk him down relatively early here. He would have beaten Ugas much more decisively before the car crash.

    If Crawford decides to box, doesn’t put it on him when he should and loses a disputed decision he’s got no one to blame but himself.

    De la Hoya vs Trinidad was kind of similar:

    Both Undefeated
    Both in the top 5 p4p
    Both prime at 26 years old
    Both were active and fought only three months previously
    Not undisputed, but it was a unification fight

    That was a bigger fight, but good example. Let’s hope this one is better, shouldn’t be hard, DLH Trinidad was a disappointment.
