Re: Boxing Off-Topic
looking forward to this one so much! it's the gift to fans we get once every few years at most!
I like both, I knew Spence would be a champ for a long time before he got a belt because he's just so solid in all aspects.
Bud I prefer his overall style more and so I'll be pulling for him.
Having said that, like many others, I feel like Spence is bigger and more durable and my mind tells me "The Truth" can will by late TKO
I also think Crawford can get the TKO after seeing Ugas wobble Spence, but it will be less likely and harder to do.
I actually picture the fight developing to be Spence plodding forward like the terminator and Crawford will have to move and be on his toes more and pick his spots to throw hard combinations and keep moving. That is exhausting though, but if anyone can do it - he can.
The one fight I think back to that makes me actually lean towards Bud winning is the Garcia fight - Danny Garcia fought well and actually had it in him to do more, and could have worked the Jab more - but THAT fight showed me, if DG can get through the whole thing without being in serious trouble, than maybe Crawford can too. DG hits very hard as well, so if Bud can give Spence some pause, even with shots hitting his arms - that would do him well.
Another X-factor I think about is Crawford's switch-hitting ability - I really have no idea if he'll be more orthodox or southpaw in this fight - it will be fascinating to see how he comes out and how he adjusts tactically for the majority of the fight.
So in short, heart is with Bud, head is with Spence - but I'm just super pumped to watch it live - I'll be glued like crazy to the TV and I'll probably have to watch it standing lol
