Spence's advantages being discounted too much

"Porter is better than Mean machine and Bud stopped him... enough said" - Logic

 

porter was retiring. the end of his career. fit that into the fanboy logic.

 

Before crash Spence was big favourite in my eyes.

 

You make very valid points & i agree with you assessment of Spences abilities,

Strange when they were first proposed to fight most people all had Spence being the easy choice over Crawford & essentially gave no chance for Crawford to be even competitive with Spence at that point, most likely due to Crawford size being the issue, while at the same time Spence was perceived by most as being a monster who was expected to run through atleast the PBC Stable of welterweights,

Most didn't expect Crawford to fill out so Strongly at welterweight which surprised people along with the manner of how he took out his opposition that in itself made people start to switch their take on which fighter would go over & that was well before Spence getting into that awful accident,

With all that said i always thought Crawford would defeat Spence being that he is Slick, very skilled, who uses his reach very well along with having great natural instinct's especially knowing when his opponent is there for the taking, a real Sharpshooter fighter with a tendency to finish his opponent, its pity his competition has been so poor thus far in Career.

 

I've always backed crawford for this fight and see no reason to change my pick now

 

I have actually noticed some slight regression in Crawford but you are correct in that people underestimate that Spence’s fundamental skills are better and maybe the best in boxing right now. Crawford is really good athletically and is a mean SOB but that only makes him even more vulnerable to Spence in this stylistic matchup. Crawford will end of having to go for it which will contribute to him getting knocked out.

 

This.

Bud might get to the final bell, but he's going to lose.

Spence is just better.

 

Yes i agree with your points about the fans, i believe most of the fans will give the winner his credit & even the loser of the match as both men have great will & heart so i don't see either man going down in the column books without giving it their all, which is all you can expect and want from your choice of fighter,

Though as always their will be a number of disrespectful fans rolling down the waves & though i never had twitter or instagram, i have seen the comments there are beyond harsh along with the irrational lies, hate & plain racism they ensue, Those fans will come ready once the match is over regardless,

The sad thing is both Crawford & Spence could have been up to their third fight by now & given the true fans of the sport so much more with the results of those fight's going either way, rather than this One Impending Fight...................

 

I’m taking bets on this fight I got EJ by stoppage any bud fans who confident get at me

 

Simple and effective is all you need to succeed in boxing. Spence is underappreciated like Mike McCallum.

 

Crawford is going to toy with and stop him. Won't be as competitive as the Porter fight was.

 

Crawford will not stand in front of Spence to trade punches. His angle and rythm will frustrate Spence. Crawford by UD or late stoppage.

 

Let's be real here. There is 0 chance Errol doesn't stop Crawford. He's extremely chinny.
