Dang a lot of pro fighters are picking Crawford, latest I saw were Shakur, Bivol and Loma adding to the count. Jeff Mayweather 50/50 but can lowkey tell he leans Crawford.

They're all saying it's close but Crawford knows how to make cleaner adjustments.

i just have never been a big believer in errol spence. when i picked spence to beat kell brook, that was a pick that was based on spence being a fighter that is going to break you down over many rounds, but brook also being a fighter that is going to fade late down the stretch. it just made sense. but i never liked the way he was getting tagged. i felt like he was marching into shots. to the extent that, if he had fought a fighter that would not fade late down the stretch, like brook will, that fight probably would have went to points and i dont know if gets the nod in that guy's backyard. he had to come from behind to win that fight. what would he have had to do if brook was just a little more durable? that always put a doubt in my mind. i understand that sounds like i'm hating. i just haven't been all the way sold on errol spence like others have. to the extent that its going to take a win over a fighter at a level of terence crawford to finally make me see what others have been seeing.

Same.

I'm not on either guys "team" but ive felt this way about Spence for a long time. Ive watched that Brook fight numerous times, that shyt was NOT going his way.

Brook's skull was already damaged from what GGG just did to him. If not for that, I really dont know how or if Errol would have even pulled that victory off.

Mosley Sees Spence-Crawford as 50-50 Fight, But Leans To Crawford​

Former three division champion Shane Mosley is slightly leaning in the direction of Terence Crawford in the upcoming undisputed showdown with Errol Spence.
On July 29th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the two undefeated welterweights will collide for the WBC, IBF, WBA, WBO world titles in the main event of a Showtime Pay-Per-View card.
Crawford has been more active, but not by much. Crawford has fought three times in the last three years, while Spence - due to injuries - has only fought twice in the last three years.

Both boxers appear to be at the top of their respective game.
Mosley, who had himself was involved in a blockbuster welterweight fight with Oscar De La Hoya in 2000, expects a very competitive match.
Both boxers have punching power, but Mosley expects the bout to go the full twelve round distance.
"I'm leaning towards Terence more now [because of] activity, but that doesn't really mean anything - because Errol Spence could be in the gym sparring, training with the Charlo Brothers and everybody else and we don't know nothing about it. He could be getting ready right now," Mosley told Fighthype.com.
"It's a 50-50 fight, but it's like we just want to see it already. It seems like if it was going to be a knockout, that it would lean more towards Terence Crawford, but I can see this fight probably going the distance because of the way they both fight.

"Errol is a really good boxer, he has a good chin. Terence is a good fighter; he can fight orthodox or southpaw. I can see this fight possibly going distance. There could be some good moments in the fight, where maybe both of them hit the ground - but I see it going the distance."

The betting sites have bud as the favorite but very slightly. It's all around -120. That's about as close as it's ever gonna get. But that can change as the fight gets closer. But pretty much everybody sees this as dead even.

Against c listers...broken versions of the same guys Spence faced...he looks very impressive. Sets traps..Knocks them out with unseen counters. Well see how Crswford handles getting hit by Spence. A wake up call is coming.

After rewatching the ugas fight. Crawford is gonna win by TKO. That 6th round the ref saved spence. He was outta there.
I mean, I guess if there’s a moment when he loses his mouthpiece again and looks down for it while not protecting himself, I guess Terence would have a good chance to knock him out in the same manner as Ugas rocked him that round.
