Resume – Spence at the weight but Crawford P4P

I think both fighters are strong at the weight. Crawford has beaten better fighters overall particularly at the lower weights. This is the biggest fight of the year and long overdue. I think Spence strength will win the fight over 12 hard but close rounds.
Great breakdown! I see it slightly different:
Power- Spence (we agree)
Footwork- Crawford (I feel Spence is solid but fights in a linear fashion, where I see Bud moving more and a little more swiftly)
Defense- Spence (I feel like Spence has underrated defense because he is a volume and pressure fighter)
Ring IQ- Crawford (slight edge)
Chin- Spence (we agree)
Body punching- Spence (we agree)
Versatility- Crawford (we agree)
Endurance- Spence (we agree)
Resume- Spence (overall as I feel most of the big names on Crawford’s resume we’re not at their best when he fought them)


I feel like Spence is the stronger man at 147. If not for the accidents I would lean towards Spence because I feel like when two great talents go head to head, the naturally larger fighter tends to win more often. That being said, I saw a “diminished” Spence in the Danny Garcia and Ugas fights- he was hit more often and struggled more than I anticipated.
