DOPAMINE FOR MY BABY!!
I can't wait until Spence beats this nikka Crawford's ass, boy I'm gonna be on y'alls ass for about two weeks straight.
It aint uncommon for Vegas to move the betting lines the other way to make money, they done did it for a few Super Bowls that ended up being ass whoopings believe me I know I won money on them, just like I'm about to win a bunch of money off this fight. shyt literally isn't even a hard fight to predict is the worst part about it.

“Age Bud out”It took Eroll 4 years just to utter the words "I want Crawford next".. Spence made fans wait too long for this fight trying to age Bud out and get leverage and now he bout to pay...Aint none of that leverage gonna matter November.. Keep praying to your imaginary boxing God

“Age Bud out”
These nikkas already got the excuses in the chamber
Bud will be 35 when they fight, he was 30 when Spence said he can't cross the street. Make of that what you will
Spence got the car accident and eye excuse in the tuck. Ain't not excuses if either dude lose
Thurman on Spence: 'He Hasn't Fought Athletic, Crafty, Fast-Twitch [Fighters]'

Errol Spence Jr. may have a legitimate claim to being the best welterweight in the world, but for Keith Thurman, the Texan is sorely unproven in a few regards. (photo by Ryan Hafey)
Spence, Thurman said in a recent interview, has never fought a fighter with the combination of intelligence and athleticism such as himself and one Terence Crawford.
Spence (28-0, 22 KOs), the WBC, WBA, and IBF 147-pound champion, is reportedly in deep negotiations with Crawford (38-0, 29 KOs), the WBO titlist, for an undisputed fight later this year, but a deal has yet to be firmed up.
Asked about that matchup, Thurman, a former titlist, said he has kept closer tabs on Spence’s development and thus is more confident in asserting that the southpaw beltholder has not demonstrated himself against an opponent who possesses both topnotch physical and mental attributes.
Thurman suggested that that can be rectified by fighting either himself or Crawford.
“What I haven’t seen Spence face is what I believe myself and Crawford bring to the table, which is, obviously, somebody who has that IQ of that Olympic pedigree,” Thurman said on the Last Stand Podcast with Brian Custer. “And then besides that it’s the athleticism. You know? He hasn’t fought athletic, crafty, fast-twitch…I don’t know enough of Crawford’s power. We’ve seen him do damage.”
Thurman (30-1, 22 KOs), who broke his years-long layoff earlier this year with a decision over Mario Barrios, indicated recently that if a Spence-Crawford fight does not come to fruition, he believes he will become the frontrunner to fight Spence.
“I still consider Spence the bigger puncher, I consider him the bigger man, the bigger puncher,” Thurman said. “All it takes is the right punch to finish a fight, not the biggest punch. The athleticism, seeing Spence fight a Crawford, seeing Spence fight a Thurman, is just a test that he’s truly never been up against.”

So glad that it looks like the best fight in the sport is finally happening
No surprise, riding with Bud here, both are greats but imo Bud is just a tad smarter, better at adapting and he'll counter Spence to shyt when he figures him out by the middle of the fight. I can see a bud stoppage or an UD either, let's say a stoppage just for the sake of it

And Usyk vs Wilder is also one of the most interesting fights in the sport regardless that Fury vs Usyk should be priority.
Master technician vs one hitter quitter, you can't really make up a starker contrast between styles and fighter personalities than these two, it's guaranteed Usyk would win this if it heads to the cards but can he avoid a flush right for 12? If not, can he take some? He has a good chin, was rather hurt to the body so far but a Wilder right is a different question.
Or would be be able to accumulate the kind of beating that makes Wilder's corner or the ref stopping the fight? I don't really see him knocking him out clean.

Pedraza reused for the 1000th time?
Barboza is also a TR guy and I'd much rather see him in vs Teo than Pedraza who's not improving anywhere no more and we all know his ceiling. What do they try to achieve with this? I don't even think the Puerto Rican fanbase cares about Pedraza like that

Facts
Maybe I'd feel different if he actually got the win over Commey, but he didn't. Plus that type of fight knocks a bit off your career, so who knows how he gonna look going into a Teo fight.
Barboza Jr was definitely the better match up.
This is a mid ass fight for one of the hottest divisions in boxing. Shame.
The axe murderer
For I am death and I ride on a pale horse
I’m not even interested in Spence v Bud anymore
Spence isn’t the same from the car accident… Bud is 38 N best Win is a semi retired Shawn Porter damn near a decade after Brook N Thurman whooped him
Boxing need to start making the fights early… Issac Cruz on his way to being a main event fighter all because he took a L to Tank
There’s only one Mayweather the 0 don’t mean shyt when you beating cops from Zimbabwae and Kangaroo herders

exactly and i have nothing against pedraza...shyt it was admirable dude was able to battle back against commey who was putting a whooping on him for the first half of the fight ....but pedraza clearly doesnt handle 140 firepower all that well and teofimo will most likely destroy him
barboza is sitting right there undefeated with a good string and streak of credible wins...the man is a dog at 140...he earned a big step up fight TR

There’s no accountability on Crawford’s part, the burden of responsibility lies on Spence to get everything done in Bud’s fans eyes apparently.
