    Spence & Crawford @ 147. Same day weight in as I'm tired of fighters rehydrating 10-15 lbs above there weight class.
    As always 15 rds

    I don't think either are getting to 147 within the day. Pipino could still rock their chins if he landed though, even with rehydration. He was truly a monster puncher.

    They both butcher Cuevas. Crawford might end his career.

    Until they prove their chins, Cuevas KO is my pick.

    ESPECIALLY if the weigh in is on the same day. There's no way that those two can be that drained and take that power.

    One thing is certain,, Spence and Crawford never faced the kind of power Pipino Cuevas brought. I like Pipino over Spence, Crawford I'm not sure

    I think Pipino checks Spence's chin much more than Crawford's. Spence does have a great jab though.

    Neither one of them would be able to weigh 147 at 2 in the afternoon and then fight the same evening.

    I liked Cuevas. I'm glad he's in the Hall of Fame. But I don't see him beating Spence or Crawford.

    People have this weird misconception that Spence is some huge welterweight, but he doesn't really gain much weight post weigh-in.

    He usually enters the ring at like 154-ish. He only puts up on about 6-8 pounds.

    Which makes it a size mismatch that he wants to fight Canelo.

    Anyway, it's crazy to handicap Bud against Cuevas when Bud hasn't done a damn thing.

    Cuevas would send Brook, Khan, and Horn straight to the graveyard.
