I still have bud vs Spence around 60-40 in buds favor. Just think he’s too sharp and too accurate. Quicker hands and feet too. I just feel like Spence is gonna get caught at some point. But on the flip side bud doesn’t have the tightest defense either. So it wouldn’t surprise me to see him get hurt too. I’m actually hoping Spence looks dominant against Ugas because the sport of boxing really needs that Crawford fight. It’s gonna be sad if we never get it.I think that is Ugas’ best bet. Try to really tire Spence out and drown him later. It doesn’t seem like Ugas has enough one shot power to hurt Spence (at least early), but I did like how Ugas handled the swarming Porter (although Porter primarily tried to box instead of his normal smother you style) and I thought he won that fight. I mean, he pretty clearly did but politics as usual. Spence was definitely tired af in the Swift fight. I think it was round 9 where he put a lot of leather on DG, but after that Danny did okay for himself. Spence admitted he was tired and said that he wasn’t 100% from the accident, but says he is now and so on. I guess we’ll see.
I gotta say, Spence is my fave current fighter but I think the Crawford/Spence matchup will really come down to if Spence can take Bud’s best shot, and stay upright. He really does not move his head off the line even in training on the mitts or anything. Crawford is definitely going to hit him hard and clean at some point. It’ll be a chin challenge kind of thing, but if he takes it, I think he’ll wear Crawford down. Spence is really like a machine when he’s right.
Another note, I’ve still never seen Spence hit the speed bag. It seems like a lot of the conventional boxing training methods (e.g., speed bag, wood cutting, double end bag, etc.) aren’t really utilized much anymore by the top fighters. It makes me kinda sad for some reason.

Ugas beat Crawford once upon a time. He'll have a plan..we'll see what happens. Spence gets better during the fight.
