Spence has the advantages over Crawford.

Intriguing matchup. Crawford has more power and speed. He's been dropped and badly hurt by a lightweight he was massively oversized against.

So Crawford = more powerful, faster, and skilled

Spence = more durable

 

Porter thought that Crawford was the tougher fight if that means anything.

 

Porter feels that he schooled Spence.

 

Most fighters feel that way unless they were completely blown out.

 

Before you guys go to bed tonight, say a lil' prayer and THANK Jarron Ennis for forcing Spence into finally having to make this fight.

Great fight, 50/50 on paper....but this one ain't gonna be settled on paper and Spence is going to be hurt and probably stopped.

 

The guy who spits out his mouthpiece has more mental toughness than Crawford? I'm not buying it. When Crawford gets hurt he comes back stronger and punishes his opponent. he doesn't spit his mouthpieces to buy time.

 

I think Crawford is the mentally tougher fighter, as the other attributes are debatable. I'll go ahead and make my prediction. Bud by stoppage late in a great fight

 

Crawford gonna stop him.

 

Will this be a great win for Spence then? Considering you're basically saying Crawford is out of his depth here?

 

clearly it's a 99.99/00.01 fight

 

Fair enough, I have it almost 50-50 and I've rooted for them in their fights leading up to this one but I'll be leaning Crawford in October/November.
PS: Willie Pep cheated death but that didn't count for much in his series against Sandy Saddler. Maybe acts of bravery outside the ring aren't correlated with mental toughness in it.
