The_budweiser Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 [h=1]A Potential Blockbuster: Terence Crawford v Errol Spence Jr[/h] Undisputed light-welterweight King, Terence Crawford will surely have a fair number of lucrative opportunities since he knocked out Julius Indongo in 3 rounds in August to unify the world championship. The Nebraskan expressed his desire to move up to 147lb after the bout and has since stated that he also wants to unify that division. Meanwhile, Errol Spence Jr stopped Britain’s Kell Brook for the IBF welterweight title and it is expected that he will be making his first defense before the year concludes. Although he ended Brook’s reign, the jury is still really out on how good Spence really is! ‘Special K’ was beating him convincingly during the first half of their fight when his workrate dropped suddenly and rapidly, allowing for Spence to take over. The weight drop back to 147lb after meeting Gennady Golovkin at 160lb is thought to be the culprit. One thing is certain, though, and that is Spence didn’t do much to turn the tide. It turned for him. Page not found - - Boxing News - Ring News24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRingRules Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Re: A Potential Blockbuster: Terence Crawford v Errol Spence Jr, Who wins? --- Brook certainly didn't lay any beatings on Spence. I scored most rounds even with Spence winning a few, but Arum damn sure ain't gonna sacrifice Crawford to a monster like Spence for the peanuts they would command right now.

repsac Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Re: A Potential Blockbuster: Terence Crawford v Errol Spence Jr, Who wins? Too many unknown variables. I would like to see how Crawford looks at 147 first against a decent welter, before making a prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robprosser Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Re: A Potential Blockbuster: Terence Crawford v Errol Spence Jr, Who wins? Too many unknowns at the moment but I think that Spence is a big welterweight and Crawford seems to make light welter fairly easily. That may make a big difference.

slasher092 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Re: A Potential Blockbuster: Terence Crawford v Errol Spence Jr, Who wins? would need to see crawford @ 147 first , doesnt seem to have outgrown 140 yet , in 18 months or so if they are both at welter would be very interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javier_83 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Re: A Potential Blockbuster: Terence Crawford v Errol Spence Jr, Who wins? yeah i agree we need to see Crawford on WW first in order to provide any prediction, but if you take in account right now only their names should be a very good fight.

BoztheMadman Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Re: A Potential Blockbuster: Terence Crawford v Errol Spence Jr, Who wins? I think Errol has a chance because of his athleticism, power and just his natural ability. It will definitely be an even match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerald Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Re: A Potential Blockbuster: Terence Crawford v Errol Spence Jr, Who wins? Crawford was on First Take recently insisting that he wants the Thurman fight first. His explanation was that, irrespective of actual ability or potential, Thurman is currently considered 'the man' and he wants to go straight for the number one in the division. I'm of the view that Spence is better than Thurman so I'd quite like to see Thurman - Crawford as a prelude to an eventual Crawford - Spence fight if Crawford can come through Thurman (not straightforward at all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syrianpitbull Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Re: A Potential Blockbuster: Terence Crawford v Errol Spence Jr, Who wins? Realistically Bud should go for the easy pickings of Jeff Horn and acclimate to the division before a Thurman or Spence fight. I am little bit biased towards Bud as he is my favourite fighter so won't be able to give a fair opinion of who would win :haha:. I like Thurman, but Crawford is 'The Man' imho. Spence is great and I only think he could beat Crawford if he made it a scrappy dog fight but Crawford won't fall for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JrGooNer Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Re: A Potential Blockbuster: Terence Crawford v Errol Spence Jr, Who wins? Is Crawford gonna do a Manny. Tear apart his divisions but then eventually get to one too big so the KOs stop coming so easily and then gradually get a weaker and weaker chin. I feel Spence is not even a small welterweight, he's a big guy. I feel he'd easily pick Crawford apart and knock him out clean. I could be wrong but I think certain fighters have a ceiling of weight class like Manny at 135, Broner at 130-135, Nas at 122, Hatton at 140 max, and most annoyingly for me Chocolatito at 112. On the other hand there are fighters like Brook and Bellew who seemed to gain power when they moved up weight classes because the weight cuts were clearly draining them badly.

Zodiac_1 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Re: A Potential Blockbuster: Terence Crawford v Errol Spence Jr, Who wins? Crawford all the way. Think Errol Spence Jr would put up a good fight but get knocked out in the later rounds. Crawford is more of a natural and has a great ability for powerful combinations that Errol just wouldn't be able to deal with in later rounds. it would be a KO/TKO after round 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Re: A Potential Blockbuster: Terence Crawford v Errol Spence Jr, Who wins? I still need to see more from Errol Spence to know how good he is. He certainly is talented but I'm not about to rate him above Keith Thurman or Terence Crawford. Terence Crawford looks the complete package and I'm looking forward to him stepping up to Welterweight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavpowell Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Re: A Potential Blockbuster: Terence Crawford v Errol Spence Jr, Who wins? For some time now I've felt Crawford doesn't lose until he gets old. Thurman is nothing special in my eyes, Spence is good but Crawford is better - he puts his combinations together beautifully.

Dave_ Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Re: A Potential Blockbuster: Terence Crawford v Errol Spence Jr, Who wins? Crawford is a far superior boxer to Spence but it all depends on how he acclimatises to 147 and how quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
