When y’all gon learn
Give an analysis instead of one liners. Spence vs crawford. How exactly do you see it going?.....what will spence do that crawford simply won't be able to handle?.....I don't personally see how anybody could think either guy gets dominated. This is about as close as a fight can possibly get from a pure skill stand point.

I'm watching this again. Not really impressed by Spence on a second look.

Don't see Spence beating Crawford. Like, walk in the park easy for Crawford.

Spence has enough to beat Pac.

LOL stop hating. He fought nearly perfect
It's ok to go back and examine a fighters performance, and look for some mistakes here and there. No fighter is perfect. Really go back and watch spence closely. He still makes a lot of mistakes a young fighter would make. Watch spence and then picture him doing these same things vs crawford. A guy who is faster and quicker on his feet than him. Another thing with spence is that he fights at the same speed the whole time. He puts it at a level 8 and just goes. Tim Bradley said this after the fight too. That spence stays in the same gear at all times. And up until now that's been able to work. But with crawford, if you fight at the same speed eventually he's gonna start timing you. Crawford will find the pace you like to work at and pick you apart until you have to fight at a pace you're not comfortable in. And that's when Crawford will really start to go to work. On the other hand, spence is a master at distance. So if he's able to keep crawford at a distance and never allow him to get within that range to do damage, it could be spences fight. But for me, I just see that as a difficult task with crawford having the better feet and faster hands. Still so many variables to consider though.


There's no way this fight can't be made. This is a fight boxing needs right now. It doesn't even have to be built up. The hype alone will make this huge. This fight will make up for the fact that we never got to see Shane vs tito in their primes.

Spence is my dude, but can't see him beating Crawford.

Perfect performance against Mikey though.

What mistakes were Spence making? What should have been done differently?

I talked about it a few posts up. Spence still has a tendency to lunge and throw off balance shots. Leaving himself wide open to overhand counters. He also has a tendency to open up really wide when he throws and lean in forward with his head exposed. A fast and accurate counter puncher could make him pay for this. And like I said too. He fights at the same speed every round. Every punch is thrown at the same velocity. Never really switches it up. Doing all these things vs Crawford could get himself timed and countered with heavy shots. It's a great fight though. Right now I just see crawford having the edge.

No mistakes really. Crawford is just more fluid with his movement, snappier punches, uses the ring better.

Spence looked stiff imo. The way he jabs wouldn't work against Bud.

Crawford is great but Spence just made a pound for pound fighter look like a jobber. Their fight is 50/50. Crawford is not perfect
