[@TubeFaddy]

Agreed. This is a fantastic fight. I'm a fan of both, but I'm leaning towards Crawford, I think he's going to prove that he's the fighter of this era. If Spence wins, its not an upset to me, because he's a big strong welterweight, but if Crawford stops Spence ... 😯 .... that will be a statement. 🥊

[@TubeFaddy]

@@breadman9053 That was a statement win 🥊 and I almost forgot Crawford came into the ring with Eminem!! that just made it extra special!!!!

[@FightGenius98]

I agree Fran, Crawford is supremely skilled and I think his ability to negate having an inside fight with his footwork and excellent clinch game will allow him to pick spence apart from the outside and with counters. Furthermore, Crawford is deceptively strong and has supreme balance from a wrestling background so I think he can weather some of Spence's frame and pins up close. I have Crawford winning via late knockout. Great breakdown.

[@myboxingcoach]

Never knew he wrestled. Thanks for the contribution pal 👍

Errol always gets one hand free to pound on you

[@SilverLake401]

I can’t disagree with you that Bud is just special to lose to someone as basic and robotic as Spence

[@kypselialani14]

Been boxing as an amateur in Eastern Europe since '02 reaching the end of a long career soon and making the transition to coaching...My pick is Crawford by stoppage late rounds. The guy is just too versatile and an excellent finisher! I cant see a basic Spence causing problems after the early rounds

[@samwingender]

Thank you for all of your great videos. I pick Crawford 9th round TKO.

[@mr.nobody9697]

I like both guys but Crawford is more dynamic. He can make more adjustments than Spence does. I think Crawford stops Spence.

[@myboxingcoach]

I was thinking that Crawford could get a late round stoppage, the only thing that swayed me was Spence's endurance - but if he's shipping lots of punishment then his endurance plays second fiddle to the referee.

[@Bullet-Tooth-Tony-]

I agree crawfords so versatile

[@mr.nobody9697]

@@myboxingcoach Agreed and im almost embarrassed to even give you my opinion as im sure you have forgotten more boxing than ill ever know but let me also add i like Crawford because while i believe both guys are boxer/punchers i believe Crawford is Great/good and Spence is Good/good. I saw in a few instances in the Kell Brook fight where Kell used lateral movement and angles and had success against Spence and in one instance Spence was so disrupted by Kells movement he lost his balance and fell forward completely exposed to a huge counter that Kell simply did not take advantage of. I think Crawford does this well and is going to give Spence a lot of problems. Your videos and insight are great and ive learned a lot. Thanks for the great work.

[@curtiscrawford2542]

​@@mr.nobody9697Crawford is Chinny. Gamboa moved up TWO divisions and wobbled Crawford across the ring. Benevides,on one leg gave Crawford trouble. Mean Machine put him down. Brook did damage to Crawfords face within 3 rounds and he was out the division for 3 years. It's not WHO Crawford fought, its WHEN he fought them.

[@MysticXamber]

@@curtiscrawford2542 Gamboa did NOT move up two divisions to face Bud. As the matter of fact, he won the interim title at 135 vs Darlys Perez a year prior to facing Crawford. The rest of your arguments all boils down to Crawford facing fighters in the sport of boxing where anything can happen, and at some point one is bound to get hurt. He still KO'ed all those guys and that is all that matters at the end of the day. See you at the fish fry, my friend.

[@icebergslim6087]

Spence is going to break him down. Crawford got more in the bag but Spence gonna ask some tough questions that Bud never had to answer. See last fight against Ugas.

[@MrAloha]

I trained with Anthony Joshua today, Coach. Him and Spence are in Las Vegas, and they've been training at Fight Capital where I train. Awesome!! To be clear, I was training on one bag and he was training with his trainer. He's a gentleman and has a strong, focused, positive mental attitude.

[@DavidHunter-n8p]

Both great at what they do but leaning towards Crawford because of the way he is able to finish guys. Spence might break them down but Terence has knockout power.

[@myboxingcoach]

Very accurate puncher Crawford. That hook to finish Avaneysan was text book.

[@Rasheed9]

You’ve earned yourself a sub! Absolutely brilliant analysis and I agree with everything you said! Spot on.

[@bungholebob]

Spot on with the Crawford analogy, just too technically profficent at so much. Think Spence is solid as you say, but Bud is not always that hard to hit in the early rounds. Such an interesting fight, personally can not wait.

[@oxitocin7718]

hi you had video about defensive foot works in a lot of directions is it deleted ? I can't find it😕

[@Herrera777]

I’m going with Bud by decision. Spence is like a Hagler but Crawford is a hybrid; he’s Hagler and Sugar Ray in one.

[@khareemslaton7759]

Man down! Spence will win this fight I think by will and grit. This is the sweet science and Spence is an Olympian at 147 he knows how to break guys this size. History will be made.

[@myboxingcoach]

If it goes to the trenches Khareem, I agree. We'll see pal. I'm a massive fan of Spence Jr, and the 2012 Olympics was when I first saw him, superb fighter 🥊 Thanks for your comment

@@myboxingcoach thank you mate. I have some of your literature and appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Cheers from Michigan, U.S.A.

[@andyballard1883]

One thing you didn't mention was the really bad car crash Spence was in, and I think against such an elite fighter as Crawford he will get broken down. I expect Crawfords accuracy will stop him somewhere from round 8 on.

[@myboxingcoach]

Yes. I veered away from the car crash (no pun intended), but he definitely looked less sharp against Ugas, you have to wonder what a high speed car crash and a week in ICU does to you long term Andy. Lose even a few percent of your capability against someone like Crawford and that matters.

[@andyballard1883]

@@myboxingcoach It was such a bad crash Fran that I really thought he'd never box again so huge props to him for getting back to top level. In essence though I just think Crawford ruthless almost surgical ability to dissect his opponent and he can switch gears really well.

[@brayden5888]

Quick question, what am I doing that’s causing sharp shoulder pain when doing right hooks?

[@Robbie_Digital]

As a fan of both fighters who followed their careers, I simply feel that the quicker, more versatile, more dynamic, switch hitter with sneaky power in both hands fighter has a better chance at being victorious. I love Spence as a champion who has brought great excitement to the division, but Crawford has too many tools and there's a reason he's conquered multiple divisions.

Love the breakdown Fran, what a fight! Can't wait for this one! Much needed at the minute... Fury vs Ngannou - did you know Ngannou is in the Guinness Book of records for having the hardest punch in the world? That of course is all you need in boxing. 🤣 Joking of course - i miss the days of Leonard, Duran, Nigel Benn < what a force of nature he was - Eubank Snr, Lewis etc... - hope boxing recovers from this - it is turning into the WWF.

[@myboxingcoach]

Yes Chris, gone are the days where boxers fought each other to see who was the best. When Leonard fought Hearns in the first fight they were 25 and 22 respectively, both with 30+ fights under their belt. Oh how times have changed, drain every last cent out of the 'anticipation' aspect of teh marketing :-( At least we also have Fury/Ngannou to look forward too, well the money launderers are looking forward to it anyway.

The versatility, talent, tricks & fight IQ wont mean much when Errol puts bud in the dirt, MAN DOWN!

[@CoelhoSports]

When Porter, Brook, and others were asked after their fights with Crawford about how their training and weight, etc, was before the fight, they said all that was great. No excuses. When then asked about what happened during the fight, they said they needed to watch the video to see what happened. Being younger or fitter doesn't help with the problem of not knowing where the punches are coming from. Holmes had the same problem with Tyson. After the fight he was asked about how Tyson compared to all the greats from the 70's he had trained with. Holmes said the hardest punches are the ones you don't see coming. Being younger, fitter, sharper, doesn't solve the problem of not knowing where the punches are coming from. That said, Spence boils himself down to 147 and technically he is not the same as those other guys Crawford was able to switch and time. I don't see at the end of this one Spence saying he needs to watch the video to see what happened. Spence is like a master chef at cooking up meat and potatoes. Much of what Crawford has done to look good against other guys is not going to be there against Spence. Crawford is going to have his hands full, here. I agree with coach, here. Crawford is going to need to "Leonard" as many rounds as he can, especially the early rounds, and not get into a battle of attrition, and run the last few rounds. If it's a good fight and Crawford wins, there will be a rematch in the fall.

People are sleeping on Spence so hard. They think he's just a banger who can only fight close range. He has the better amateur and pro record (has fought the better fighters at 147). They both can win. But I think Spence is gonna pick him apart by our boxing him when necessary and then bullying him when necessary.

[@mr.boxingmoves486]

Terence Crawford comes over the top & hooks his jab at the end when fighting other Southpaws. Well-Spence just throws his jab straight. The major factor that's going to get Bud the victory is that Bud's hidden specialty is being able to punch in between his opponents punches. And the problem for Spence's he only throws one punch at a time in the same cadence. Recipe for Disaster. Bud by 10th rnd KO🤜💥🤕

[@0okcin605]

I know you don't do mma fighters but can you do a video about Petr yan? One of the best boxers in the ufc.

[@joesaiditstrue]

Bud isn't a southpaw, he's orthodox who can switch. He learned how to box as a southpaw when injuring his right hand early in his career

[@ashleyballenger2582]

Spence for the W. I have no expertise, I just like Spence more for whatever reason. But this is just an elite boxing event and it really doesn't get better in the sports world than a boxing event like this. Can't wait for this one, no matter who wins.

[@thearchive9376]

question- who is the best technical boxer of all time ?

[@myboxingcoach]

Impossible to answer, but I've made a note and am going to give it some serious thought👍

[@Mr.Oct___]

I agree w/ much of what was stated in this vid. However, i thin TC is going to begi g this fight in the ortho stance. I rewatched the Postol fight & Benavidez fights to see how he approaches big opponents w/ good range. Vs Postol, he used movement to take away that 74.5 in jab. He also stayed southy in order to jab joust w/ Postol. It was tactical early until frustration set in & Postol began to commit & was out of position. Spence is much more defensive on the outside. I think Crawford will look to jab joust w/ him as well to neutralize that lead hand & be elusive until he forces Spence to take chances & touch him as his style suggests. Once he understands Spence...then we'll see the southy switch to become more offensive. I also think the weight & the layoff will affect Spence negatively. I see a wide points vickie. Unless Spence attempts to turn up the pressure...Then i see crawford punching in between his shots & hurting him. Possible stoppage. ...Obviously, one shot can change the complexion of a fight like the left hook to the body did in leonard vs Hearns. That could happen for either man as well.

[@felypicar7712]

Crawford has no chance The TRUTH for stoppage

[@AlmightyAnt300]

That's a fanboy reply. Saying crawford has no chance LoL.

[@coreybenson3890]

See what ppl missing about Spence is he does everything well he could box with the best he just choose to come head on Errol does the things u don’t see Crawford is the more dynamic and flashy but will that hold against somebody who does everything well I think eventually the thing that makes Crawford great which is his ability to be a switch hitter will be his downfall against a guy who to me has master his style in boxing because that’s all he focuses on which is his southpaw and I don’t think the switch hit is gonna be effected against a guy like Spence who is not gonna give him the room for that or stop jab him all night

[@McStrokeAvision]

Both are masters at their style. To say Bud isn’t a master is silly.

[@mintcocobrown]

Bud wins. I agree with your breakdown

[@thefightside2400]

As I read all of these comments, i have to say that most people are forgetting that its not just the past fighters that Spence and Crawford fough its also when they fought them. Obviously Crawford is a great fighter no doubt about it and he definitely passes the eye test however I can't help but to think about the opposition that Crawford fought. The only two big names on his resume are past there prime Kell Brook and Shawn Porter. Before Brook fought Crawford, he did not fight at welterweight for three years and did not look good in his fight and 154lb before he fought Crawford. When Crawford fought Porter, he was half way retired and admitted that he did train they he did for the Spence fight wich was three years earlier aswell. I just believe that Spence is more battle tested and has fought the superior competition in there prime and that will make a difference in this fight. Can't Wait

[@McStrokeAvision]

Yawn they’ve fought the same caliber of opponents simple as that. I don’t know why people trying to come up with this nonsensical angle. The guy has a resume that predates welter weight.

[@qt1622]

Kenny Porter actually said they trained less for Spence. Outside of the popular fighters Spence fought , in his 28 fights who has he fought ? Crawford has fought more Olympians , more mandatories , more undefeated fighters and more champions. He’s a multi division champ. I think they are just trying to sell this fight by talking about Crawford’s resume.

[@carolinatruss4966]

Spence this "BUDS" for you😂😂😂😂 9:11

[@curtiscrawford2542]

This guy lost me when he said Crawford is good defensively. NOPE. Crawford is NOT defensively responsible. Bud doesnt dominate a fight, he knocks people out not beats them up. You can show aspects when your resume looks like Crawfords. Its not WHO Crawford fought, its WHEN he fought them. Kenny Porter picks Spence, Bernard Hopkins picks Spence, because of Spences skills. The volume punching,the power,the accuracy, the body shots, the size, the defensive responsibilities he shows, the chin..Spence beat champions and took their belts, Crawford fought "opponents " basically beens or washed ups. I believe this is going to be a HUGE uptick in class for Crawford. Especially with Spence sparring the undisputed Jr middleweight champion in Charlo.

[@立花たくや]

It looks like the volume wasn't the deciding factor, Spence needed more power to put fear in Crawford

[@cvofromthemo]

Spence looks a little slower and robotic, though his punches look harder. His fundamentals are solid, though. Crawford seems more fluid, quick and elusive. He seems trickier and we know he can punch, also. I see Spence stepping to Crawford behind the jab and methodically trying to break him down. However, I see Crawford boxing, feinting, countering and using his quickness to avoid a lot of punishment from Spence. If Crawford can avoid punishment for 12 rds and effectively counter, he will win. If Spence gets rolling and Crawford can't keep him off, it's going to be a long, difficult night for Crawford.

[@nicolasperez9137]

Good fight long wait,!I'll think it will be a DREW,,PART 2,,,THE WAIT WILL CONTINUE 2,,

[@deanstaysthrsty7120]

This is such an interesting fight to me.. Crawford is the more "skilled boxer" which sometimes could translate to being the better fighter so he should win.. But Spence is tough durable and constant pressure. Crawford will need to put on a master class to beat spence. Stick and move a shit ton, maybe try and stun him early, because i dont see crawford wanting to trade and getting into a war with spence, thats not his game. I do believe Crawford will need to get spences attention and respect fast.

[@kevinknight8889]

TBC throws the shorter more crisp punches..Which gives him the advantage mid range..and inside.. Spences work rate builds a lead imo...TBC must slow down the fight...Engage in spurts.emply a game of Syncopation to take away EJ consistency...Nobody can stand and fight EJ..AND win a Dec..He's to busy and TBC just ain't going to throw enough punches to get a decision imo...I think TBC catches EJ..last 4rds...I predict EJ UP 4-2 OR 5-1 after 6rds..but Bud gets him off his rhythm just enough... With TBC throwing shorter counters..EJ GETS CAUGHT HOOKIN WITH A HOOKER IMO..

Consider this! At some point in the fight spence is gonna hurt crawford with a good shot (body or head) at that point what do u think is likely to happen? Do u believe Crawford will remain disciplined and keep distance and stick to his jab... not at all, crawford is a junk yard dog type fighter, if u hit him and it hurts he will absolutely abandon gameplan for a while until he gets his own back.. therefore i see Errol spence bulldozing crawford this fight.. and i do believe Errol has the better jab (larry holms style).

[@ianedwards3482]

Nice post brother I'd only disagree that Errol's jab isn't a Holmes type jab, it's more like say Quartey or Trinidad, it's coming from the shoulder not the hip in terms of where the lead hand is, and it's a more 'thudding' jab than Holmes imo. Like he broke Brooks face with it
