    I don't understand why the "quality" of opposition has never been taken into consideration in this fight.

    You sit too much on the fence in your videos due to your diplomacy especially when predicting home grown fighters I've noticed

    Expected a deeper analysis in gameplay etc but no Same pattern no different

    Even in those highlighted bud looks much faster and gives different looks with both hands in unpredictability

    One thing for sure is how tbud has grown into his welterweight body starting with the horn fight up to his last the muscle mass in general is highly noticeable

    Crawford no longer the small dude now

    First off, congrats to you Rummy for your tremendous success with your Youtube channel (not easy). I used to listen to your podcasts back in the days with Jenna. Are you still in contact with her, if so, what is she up to?

    As for the fight, i got Bud winning. It could be a close decision like you said but it wouldn't surprise me at all if Bud takes Spence out late as the dog in Spence gets too aggrevise and he gets caught with a sharp counter coming in. Bud is faster and just throws the more precise, sharper punches.

    Because sometimes you can't help who you fight. It's like questioning how good Michael Jordan is at basketball because he faced weak teams. Greatness is greatness. The creams rises to the top eventually. This is the fight where Bud proves it IMO.

    Great video Rummy!!!!

    I don’t expect any real drama for the first 6-7 rounds

    I feel the last 4 or 5 rounds is where ALL the action will be and Bud is going to go for broke

    I'm a bit concerned that from photos I've seen the past couple days Spence is already ripped and at or close to the WW
    maximum. Will he overtrain?

    I'm going with home boy Spence who lives and has a ranch south of Dallas.

    I agree Rummy, I think Bud is the grittier fighter when the going gets tough and if it gets into a war I think Bud enforces his will on Spence. His momma would whoop him if he didn't.

    I believe Crawford will win but I am also hoping for a great fight that gets us a rematch in early 2024. (Just planning ahead)

    Two unstoppable forces of nature, I’m betting on Crawford’s determined intensity and more varied skill set.

    If Bud can’t stop him, I think Spence wins a clear but close decision. Spence’s pressure and body work should carry rounds especially early, very interested to see if Bud can hurt him significantly.

    Crawford KO. Spence is too open on the inside. He'll apply effective pressure, but I think Crawford has an edge in agility and that will prove decisive. He lands shots Spence doesn't see, which slows Spence's workrate and a high workrate is Spence's best shot to win.

    I think the fight will be competitive but the cards will be 8-4, even it goes that long. But I think Spence is a warrior and will go out on his shield.

    The MGM app has the odds at -150 for Crawford & +125 for Spence. The betting public so far sees it as a narrower advantage for Crawford than I do.
