A couple years and one car accident too late but should still be interesting. Which Hebrew you got?

Yes, they should've met years ago.

The one with the better driving record wins.  Late round TKO.

I'm excited.  :D

It is a few years too late but I'm still setting my alarm for Stupid O'Clock to watch it. I've not followed the sport closely for a while now, so my opinions are outdated, but I've always felt that either Crawford wins by stoppage, or Spence wins by a narrow points victory. Crawford has that Marvin Hagler spirit and first-class boxing skills; nothing surprises me with him, so if I had to bet, it's on him. This could still end up being a classic.

If Crawford can't stop him before the championship rounds, Spence will fight defensively for the robbery on the cards.  You thought PBC rigged Wilder vs Fury I.  It's a known fact Haymon wants to sell Spence to Canelo in Cowboy Stadium on Cinco De Mayo since he already offered Canelo $55M.  It's worth even more if Spence is undisputed, knocking off the sport's 1P4P fighter.  Good luck, Crawford!

Man, Spence did not deserve that. He got his ass kicked. Crawford was incredible.

Called this one a long time ago.

As it got closer and closer to fight time I was more certain after watching the fight hype all week.

Man, Crawford is like a cross between Hagler and Leonard. He's got next level skills, like 2nd and 3rd order thinking but with boxing skills. Yet He's got that quiet determination and a bit of a mean streak.

And Spence.....spence is Milton McCrory a really good fighter. Pretty heavy hands, pretty quick but one dimensional,  one gear that is better than most but just got eaten by a true great.

Crawford tonight put on a show like Manny Pacquiao when he beat Barrera  or Hopkins when he beat Trinidad or ODL when he beat Vargas.... just a high level, 3 dimensional destruction of a fighter who came into the fight at 50/50 odds.

Guy is fucking awesome.  I don't know who is better: him or Inoue. Inoue is a murderous puncher bud Buds skill is really something else.

Guess I was wrong, thought they would rig the cards like Canelo vs. Bivol which was an 11-1 round fight with 115-113 cards.

I was also scared they were going to rob Crawford as they put in the same judge where they robbed Hughes, and let Kambosas win.

Its funny people were using Porter as a barometer as to who was going to win, but Spence is a conventional fighter that has perfect technique, but for that same reason Crawford being a master counterpuncher was able to steamroll him because he knew where the punches were all coming from, and how to counter them. He made this look easy, he didn't even get touched up.

I think Crawford is better than Inoue, why? The fighters at 147 are superior to the lower weight classes. Inoue's best win is Donaire/Fulton both of which in my opinion are not better than Spence (Donaire is old, and being old at the lower classes is a bigger concern).

Called it.  :D

I will say that I liked Spence before, but now I really like him.  He boxed like an undefeated champ who could turn things around at any point.  No running or holding – he went out on his shield.

Crawford could have ended things earlier with a sustained body attack, but his strategy worked, LOL!
