That's the thing.. We know Crawford has the power and timing.. We know Crawford will make adjustments if something isn't working... Spence didn't respect Mikey power.. With Danny and Ugas he did.. its was just their fighting styles that plays into Spence advantages because they like to wait n wait on a counter punch.. both of them hurt or buzzed Spence at certain points in the fight but they chose not to follow up or go in for the kill.. Crawford won't make that mistake an has proven when he sees blood he getting you TF outa there... Spence not gonna be able to just do whatever he wants to a guy with that many layers to his game.. Bud makes Floyd like adjustments off the cuff during all his fights

Thought Ugas fought scared given the success he was having when he let his hands go
His right hand and body work seemed to bother Spence early but once Spence turned up the work rate ugas abandoned his offense and just became a shelled up punching bag
Wise we could seen ugas push Spence a lil bit and force him to show another wrinkle in his game before a potential Bud fight but Spence had a lot of success just applying pressure and wearing ugas down like he does most of his opponents

Let's do it. Be a man of your word.
@ me during the fight
a small 25 dollar wager the 1 month ban bet will do you in worse than the wager. It will give you sometime to think about you bad decision making and casualness of boxing. If it's a stoppage or KO we should up the ban to 6 months.
Anyone have a decent link? Hate those zoomed in YT ones. Need to watch this again
He didn't have enough gas in the tank and couldn't see an opening.
Boxing isn't a video game that awards you with certain perks when hurting an opponent.
You still take damage, you still have to worry about emptying your clip. Just look at Joshua v Ruiz.
If Ugas threw the fight then Luke Campbell definitely threw his fight with Ryan Garcia cuz he actually dropped dude and refused to jump on him. 
Ugas just did what he always does. This time it was against an elite prime boxer who wasn't going to let him get away with that bare minimum shyt.
That nikka got pure sparring partner mentality in his blood.

Worked when Mean Machine applied pressure and dropped him.

Spence might have the size advantage but strength could go either way. And bud has more one punch power. Let’s not forget bud was the first guy to actually knock porter out. And porter himself said Crawford was the biggest puncher he’s fought. Said he was effected by every big punch bud landed. And you could see that in the fight. Any time bud landed clean porter would get jolted.
So I think all the talk about Spence just walking through bud is far fetched. Spence has never been hit with a punch like bud’s. And it’s not as if we haven’t seen Spence get rocked multiple times. Even in this fight when ugas knocked out his mouthpiece. That wasn’t just a mistake. Spence lost his bearings for a brief moment. That sometimes happens to him when he gets rocked with a big shot . He seems to get confused for a second. He recovers nicely but if Crawford stuns him like that he’s gonna be in some serious shyt. Cause once bud smells blood he goes for the kill.
You say the kryptonite for a boxer-puncher is a great pressure fighter. But that goes both ways. Many good pressure fighters have taken L’s to slick boxers. But in this case bud is not only the slicker fighter but also the stronger fighter. He’s not gonna be running away from Spence. He’s gonna be right there in the pocket capitalizing on his mistakes. Ugas landed several big right hands on him early in this fight. If bud is able to land like that Spence is gonna get hurt. Neither of them have a “great” defense I would say. But Bud has better upper body movement. He’s better at ducking and countering at awkward angles. In both stances. Spence is a savage but I think overall that Crawford is more dynamic. He has faster hands. Faster feet. And the bigger punch. It’s possible that Spence could break him down if he’s able to withstand his punch. But I don’t see that happening. It’s still a 50-50 fight in the grand scheme of things. Bud can be hit. And he can be stunned too. So neither outcome would surprise me. But just going off everything I’ve seen from both fighters I see Crawford taking Spence out late with razor cheap counters.
And I would put my money on Spence beating Crawford.
The problem with Crawford is that his work isn't clean. When Mayeather outboxed an opponent, it was done in a way that was easy to judge.
Punches were clearly missed and punches land cleanly.
At minimum, I see him getting outworked. There is also the possibility that Spence's body work will force him into survival mode.
Much as people talk about Crawford's ability to adapt, you need to have the gas to be effective.

Of course I'm betting...I'm the only person who has been right since the Coli started. Everyone else has had to adjust and change their tunes. All those Ugas fans who claimed he was gonna win are dead silent.....So you betting money when they fight, or you just talking
Power and timing yet one leg Jose Benavidez hit Crawford with slow ass straight rights all night long for 12 rounds. Lol. Crawford has looked excellent against flakes for the last 4 years. That won't be the case against Spence at all.

Even on the court we stay flyy, Jada & A.I.
Hopefully the business behind the scenes gets done, because it's obvious both fighters want this fight. Painfully obvious.
And I'm optimistic it will happen
And when it does, I have to come clean, the more skilled fighter is gonna win. They usually do in mega bouts. And Bud is the more skilled fighter without a doubt.
It's gonna be a tall task to see how Spence would be able to work his way on the inside, because Crawford's foot movement, lateral quickness, and counter punching all combined into one fighter is something Spence hasn't seen. The closest to that, was Porter, and Crawford is a clean level above that.
He won't just default to standing in the middle of the ring with a high guard as Ugas did last night, and as alot of Spences competition has. That is literally the single biggest recipe for disaster against a fighter like Spence. Who has the most elite inside game in 147 for sure, and possibly the sport as a whole.
Bud is usually slow out the gate, so how effective Spence is at working the body in the early rounds will be a major factor in dictating how the rest of the fight goes.
Of course, any thing can happen in there, and Bud can get caught up in a machismo battle with Spence, but styles make fights. I just don't think this is a good style for Spence. I would have Crawford UD
