Spence is better than Crawford?

[Master]

Spence is back to his best against Ugas. He dominated the contest and looked spectacular. I always felt he was the best Welterweight in the world and would beat Crawford before his car crash/surgery. This dominant performance shows he will unify and become the undisputed champion.

There is a trend of many people are coming off that Spence win like he's unstoppable now. I'm not saying he had a crap performance. I liked the body work, but he still didn't look like what people exalting him as. Then again, that could just be me. Don't think I was ever on his bandwagon. It seemed like one of his biggest accomplishments before was rumors of his sparring match with mayweather. I didn't put a whole lot of stock in the Garcia win or the brook win due to weight disparities. He's a solid southpaw with good bodywork and probably better than most.

I also see that he often over extends himself on shots, his balance isn't great and he thinks too much. Maybe its just me. If Crawford can avoid that liver shot, and start early (for once), and doesn't go straight back, I think he finds spence pretty easy every time he drops his hands to do his body work and adjusts quicker. That's if all this contract stuff hasn't gone to Bud's ego and he stays grounded. Just my opinion, I could be wrong

‘The time is now’ – Terence Crawford wants Errol Spence Jr fight immediately with all belts on the line

TERENCE CRAWFORD insists the "time is now" for an undisputed super-fight against Errol Spence Jr.

Crawford wants to battle Spence Jr for all the belts and is so sure he is ready he doesn't need any "tune-up fights".

The American boxer told ESPN: "I'm going straight into it. I don't want no tune-up fights. I don't want nothing.

"I wanna go straight into it… It's time to happen. The time is now for undisputed.”

Spence Jr is also keen for the fight after recently adding the WBA belt to the WBC and IBF straps.

That is after the American defeated Yordenis Ugas with a stoppage in the tenth round last month.

The Truth has called out Crawford as the WBO title is the only thing standing in his way of undisputed supremacy.

Spence Jr said: “Everybody knows who I want next, I want Terence Crawford next.

“That’s the fight that I want, that’s the fight that everybody else wants and like I said, I’m going to get these straps.

“I’m going to go over there and take his s*** too. Terence, I’m coming for that motherf***ing belt.”

Responding on Twitter, Crawford posted: "Congratulations great fight now the real fight happens.

"No more talk no more side of the street let’s go.

"Keep my belts warm I’ll be coming to grab em later this year."

A few thoughts/observations:
1. I think Bud is the “better” fighter- meaning more skilled and having more dimensions in the ring. Doesn’t mean he is guaranteed to win, Spence is the bigger man and punches HARD. Spence is also very skilled, but I feel Crawford has a little more in his tool box.
2. If Spence has a round against Crawford like he did in the 6th vs Ugas he doesn’t make it out of the round. Bud is a killer, especially when he senses any kind of weakness or trouble for the other fighter.
3. This is a pick ‘‘em fight and each guy will be the toughest fighter the other has ever faced. I don’t see any way this fight doesn’t live up to the hype- this won’t be Manny vs Floyd, Oscar vs Tito…etc.

As long as the fight is made now and not years down the line.

If you think Crawford would stand there and box with Spence like Ugas did, then you are crazier than I thought. Crawford will probably outbox Spence and it may not even be close if Crawford comes in hot and heavy!
