    Alot of big names backing Bud.. I wonder who’s got Spence??

    Reed, have to comment, somehow the opening scene in your video feels to me like Roy is in a wheel chair and you’re right there happy as can be pushing him around.. as Roy’s self-proclaimed #1 fan perhaps metaphorically not too far off ;) :crafty:

    I'm an equal fan of both guys, so I'm literally just rooting for a great fight, not a particular fighter. My head says that Bud is a better fighter, and will win. But I could very well be wrong.

    Can't say I'm a fan but I don't dislike either of them. At this point it's more of apathy.

    Likewise I pick Crawford. I think he has more wrinkles to his game so even if he finds himself behind, i believe he's the more capable of the two in changing that direction. Does that mean he beats Spence? I don't know. That's why we watch the fights.

    Im a fan of both as well. No fan favorite in this one. I slightly lean towards Bud via close decision but this is another fight where anything could happen.

    I think spence is damaged goods and gets stopped

    Before the first car accident I think it was a more competitive fight

    Agreed. Spence is a physical talent but has probably squandered some of his abilities. Bud is also getting up in age, but his style is more adaptable for that

    I think I'm a bigger fan of Crawford than Spence, but it's close. I'll be honest, given I haven't seen a Spence fight since Ugas - has he even fought since then? - or a Crawford fight (outside of the highlights against that russian who beat Kelly), so I genuinely have no idea what's gonna happen here.

    But for years, I always thought Crawford was better and would win. I still do.

    Bud has more charisma, for whatever that's worth. Spence is a good dude, but he never exploded because his personality is a bit dry. Bud, when he chooses to talk a lot, is more witty than Spence and just a more captivating speaker in general.

    Both are good dudes and good family men.

    If Bud starts too slow this go around, it won’t go well because Errol’s style of fighting puts a lot of rounds in the bank. He’ll need to do something early to slow down that come forward momentum.

    I dislike em both equally….their fukfuckery the last few years negotiating this fight pissed me off…I hope the event is bust less than 500k ppvs…

    I expect Spence to win a convincing decision 8-4 with both fighters being seriously hurt/stun/dropped. I don’t think it will be a brutal fight but both will land one punch/combination that rocks the other one..

    The more I have watched both guy’s recent fights,..and the more I think about it….this call is about as close as any fight in recent years.

    Crawford is the more versatile and talented guy.
    Spence the stronger and naturally bigger fighter.
    Both are supremely confident.

    can’t wait

    Whose resume is better? According to Crawford, his best win is Burns.

    The difference could be that Crawford has that extra gear in which he can finish his opponent the moment he wakes up. Spence tends to stay in his first gear and gradually grind opponents.

    Even though I lean Crawford, it’s not a very confident pick.

    I'll believe it when they're both standing in the ring.
