This whole Spence/Crawford fight really shows that people are simple minded when making these predictions.

Nyggas on here really make predictions on some "I think person A is the better fighter, I think they should win." That's it, there's no extra thought to it.

I look at way more than that. I look at your lifestyle, the way you speak, do I think your shot, do you have an injury going into the fight, have you outgrown the weight class, etc

People getting mad at others for saying "Spence is not the same," but that played a role in why I comfortably picked Crawford to win this fight. It's part of the game.

its crazy how u can go from " he never fought anyone" and "he's gonna get bullied by Spence" to " he's better than Floyd Mayweather" over a 48 hour period 🤣

When dis fight was first made, my first reaction was "Spence hasnt been active and crawford is gonna win" and i ended up sticking to that with my last minute bet after a lot of back and fourth.


I also now realize that rust ring imo had nothing to do with it. Just a real bad stylistic match up for Spence, he would of lost whenever they fought.

Everyone loves crawford now and he deserves it. I just hope they dont do em like they are doing Spence if he loses or has a bad outing against someone with a better style.

I already hear ppl talking about his car accident and stuff, and we know PBC controls a lot of da media.

Ofcourse.

You can point to many things, recent track record, training styles, injuries, how the weight cut looks on the fighters (Spence looked like extra bad at the last presser) etc.

At the end of the day it’s a whole lot of things, but you can’t predict getting punched in the face. Styles make fights more often than not.
