Spence-Peterson: Final Predictions

Thurman has a hell of a shot against Spence. He'll use his speed and movement to win the first rounds. The thing is that i'm not sure he can survive the late rounds onslaught (nor will he still have the advantage on the scorecards if he survive)

 

UNLESS Thurman can badly hurt Spence, I'm hard pressed to envision how he'll win. Leap amateur bullshit aside, Spence is a much better technician with a sizable edge in stamina.

 

I don't think Thurman is a leap amateur (although I get why people think he is), but I think Spence takes over and stops him after Thurman makes a bright start.

I reckon Crawford beats Spence though.

 

You pickk Crawford against Spence!!!

thats bold, I think Spence destroys him

 

To go a step further I actually think Crawford wins fairly clear. No beef against Spence, by the way, I'm a fan. Good thing is it will probably happen.

 

I suspect Spence will be be too much for Crawford, but TC is too good for me to be 100% confident about it.

But I am relatively confident about it. I think it's gonna take a bigger fighter to beat Spence, and that's not Crawford.

 

I agree. Spence stops Thurman

 

I suspect a few yall picking Spence now will change your minds after Crawford destroys Horn. And make no mistake, Crawford will destroy that Aussie scrub. But it won't change my mind.

 

Spence is a fantastic fighter, don't get me wrong, and he's the bigger guy so I totally get why he would be favoured. I just think that Crawford's skillset is better and has more dimensions. What's more I think it is the perfect foil for what Spence brings to the table. I've thought it for a while now. I've no horse in the race as I like both guys, but I think Crawford has the potential to be a special fighter.

 

Crawford pulls the trigger faster and has more fast twitchty muscles in general, so I expect his handspeed to be a problem for Spence early.

The problem for Crawford will come when the fight turns up, because Spence has the bigger firepower and is a stronger man... on top of the skill difference not being big.

 

Spence to beat Peterson by UD

 

What if he barely gets by Horny?

 

Can't Disagree...

Crawford Will Likely Be the Quicker, Fast-Twitchier Guy, But REED Doesn't See Crawford's Edge in that Regard Being Sizable Enough to Garner a Win from the Perimeter, Exclusively...

At the Same Time, REED Doesn't Think Crawford WANTS PhoneBooth Warfare w/Spence Either...

Crawford's COMBATIVENESS, that Holyfield Way he Has - Seeking Immediate Retribution When Tagged - Doesn't Bode Well if/when he's Matched w/Spence...

At '47, Spence Breaks Down Guys He Touches Regularly, and Crawford's NEVER Been Terribly Hard to Find...







REED

 

Then that means he really can't handle Spence. But I highly doubt that gets gonna happen.

I think Crawford stops Horn in about 8-9.

 

Crawford turns into a runner when je faces hard hitting guys. No way will he look for retribution when he gets tagged

 

Jeff Horn's Waaaaaaaaaasy Toooooooo AVAILABLE...Game, but Available...

Pacquiao is Shot to Shit and COULDNT Pull the Trigger on the Openings He Saw in Horn....

Crawford Stops Horn by the 9th or So...Wiiiiiide UD, Worst Case Scenario....







REED

 

I think people have already forgotten how close Pac was to stopping Horn. He was beating the living shit outta him at one point. An old, shot Pac, mind you.

Current Crawford is a lot better than 2017 Pac.

Horn is gonna get trashed.

 

I think Crawford will dispatch Horn in one-sided, brutal and very impressive fashion. Vs Spence? Interesting fight. I'm leaning towards Crawford by close decision in a Leonard-Hagler type fight.

Thurman is very underrated around here. The thing that Thurman has in his favour that is underestimated is his pride and will to win. He will do whatever it takes to win. It's intangible but it cannot be overlooked.

 

You're overrating Thurman's "will to win" Sly. I'm not saying he lacks heart, but when the going gets tough he don't exactly turn it up like Holyfield. He runs.

 

Granted, but Thurman Has 1 FATAL Flaw as it Pertains to Spence...

Susceptibility to BODY SHOTS...Thurman's Resistance to Body Shots is BELOW Average, and That's Where Spence Does 50% of his Work, Minimum...




REED

 

Porter's gone, bust Spence up a bit.

After the Corcoran exhibit, I believe our Jeff just ticked over past his prime yeah, just ticked over she did, absolutely unbeatable while briefly in his prime, but now past it, a bit like Tyson really, it happens,... the,... Crawford bout doesn't count now, let's not take any notice.

 

Fortuna is fat.

 

Fat Fortuna winging shots

 

Thurman is not only a leap amateur but he also needs to change his nickname to "450 Times" because his KO power is a myth

 

Mikey would hospitalize Easter.

 

First time seeing Easter. He's shit

 

Easter is going lose because of Fortuna's illegal size advantage

 

I'm kinda happy that Garcia is fighting Lipinets instead of Easter. Lipinets is actually more of a test.

 

In our lifetimes we might never see an all time great Dumb-in-a-can fighter.

 

Close fight, but I feel like Fortuna edged it. BUT... because his unprofessional ass couldn't make weight, I hope he doesn't get the decision.
