Do you think Spence would come down a weight? I got Akeem Ennis-Brown at Junior Welterweight holding an International WBC but he has alot of ring rust! Teofimo Lopez might be what Spence is thinking next
Crawford is the man no 1
Crawford is a great fighter but I have to say I love Earl Spence Jr in the major fight tonight
I think Spence is going to WIN. I can’t wait to watch it should be very entertaining and exciting!!!!! I hope I be sitting on the edge of my seat during the whole fight
Just in case you guys haven’t been watching Bud is fighting fresh. Spence been living it up the past couple of years while Bud stayed Hungry!. Bud it’s as Great as a Talent of the likeness of Mayweather.! Spence had to long of ring lay off. Bud should handily get the decision.
Crawford needs to avoid getting constant body punches from Spence. Spence just sucks the life out of boxers. However, Spencer could not do that to Porter, even though he won the fight it was very close until the knock down. I’m sure buds ring iq may save him from the the beating Spences last 2 opponents had to endure. Its a hard fight to call but I will go for Spence with his constant punching however, if Crawford really fights like he did against Gamboa Spence will have no answer.
I will always remember when Crawford confronted Spence and told him to his face you too light in the ass for me
Crawford is intelligent and a killer. Get real. Place your bet.
In all honesty Crawford has the talent and the skill but I truly believe that Earl Spence is gonna take him deep in the round and hes going to punish him I just believe that Earl is too strong for Crawford
Bud is P4P great not Spence or Canelo! Get real!! We know we think and see for ourselves and see y’all narrative!!
