Terrence Crawford vs Errol Spence - July 29

[bittraffic]

I have already bet Crawford by KO but after reading some comments I'm now unsure if I did the right choice.  

Crawford may have won in this poll but the boxing community is also saying Spence has superior technical skills, he is also better in defense and is physically stronger. I may not even watch this fight because there is also another event in UFC but we're also going to be seeing them fight twice since both of them can activate their rematch clause as well.  

[btc_angela]

maybe by decision or perhaps this fight will go over and last the full 12 rounds.

This fight could last for 12 rounds if both boxers can absorb the punches thrown at them. They are not the kind of fighters who are slick enough; they always want to exchange punches. Since both are strong punchers, honestly, I doubt it will go to the judges' scorecards.

With only a few days remaining, I just want to be optimistic that Crawford will win, as I believe he is the better boxer. Terrence may have more belts, but Crawford's wins have been very dominant and convincing. Let's see if Crawford will live up to our expectations.

But knowing the magnitude of this fight, for sure they will play defense and could be hesitant to throw punches early. And as you have said, they are slick so they have their hands on their chin always and their ego will say that they don't want to lost and then got knockout as well.

You mean Spence might have 3 belts? but Crawford is the complete fighter, although the smaller one, but for me his IQ is just above everyone else at 147 lbs and it might play a big role if this fight goes to distance.

Right! I honestly forgot that UCF 291 will also happen in the same day, and this will be a struggle for sure specially for those who are fan of both sports because both event is surely a waste if we cannot see it. Anyway, I'm just looking forward to seeing the Crawford vs Spence fight and one undercard in that same event where Donaire is campaigning to be a champion again.

About the bet, I already got Crawford via KO. You just gotta trust your bet and gut mate because there is surely a reason why you chose that be and not the other way around.

Good luck with that fellas as it seems like there's plenty of things on your plate now Let's hope that there will be some slight window for those fights so that you watch watch both events. Regarding about whom to bet, I also got Crawford by a way of knockout and if you'll ask me why, my answer is simple, I still believe that Crawford is not yet finished in building his legacy and still standing in his prime years where he can still dance gracefully even if that is Errol Spence Jr.

Seeing both these fighters can erupt once they see a chance, someone's gotta fall when that happens and it could either be Crawford or Spence. Let's say Spence superbly carries out his defenses as well. It might end up just as UD. Spence was once undermined before the fight with Mikey Garcia saying the only reason he can win is because he is bigger but he outboxed Garcia. All Garcia did in the end rounds was just protecting himself. I'll just hope I win big on UFC 291 if the KO we expect will not happen.

There's a weight from that statement, both egos will be there and for sure they will protect not to lose via KO,

Though on the back of my mind, Crawford may be taking this seriously and will try his best chance to knock Spence down
I believe that he's not going to waste this opportunity after Spence sign the contract. He waited for so long and now it is
his chance to conclude who's the best from this division and who will enjoy that hype after this fight.

Spence said that he doesn't care how he is going to win the fight and if it's a boring fight, it's also fine as long as he wins it. But I think there will be a lot of action as they are aware of the significance of this fight between them. But a win and its public effect might only be temporary as they have agreed on having a two-fight contract with a second one following if any of the two fighters wants it. I guess it is needless to say that it is almost certain that there will be a second fight after some time unless the loser is fine with being the loser, obviously.

Errol had their own strategy to win the game,So you should re-consider your bet.Crawford had good game like the Errol but the power of punch was more with Errol.So most of the people think Errol will win the game,because the boxing community think Errol had huge techniques compared to the Crawford.Welter weight champion Errol will face the Crawford on 29,July Saturday was the long waited game in the boxing community.Since it was the Saturday,the boxing ticket will be sold out maximum.Mike Tyson had act as the middle man for the coin toss between Crawford and Errol.The lucky guy of the toss is Crawford was unexpected one,but we can only able to see the final result on Saturday.

I don't completely agree, Crawford just isn't a power puncher who goes in there with no plan.  I mean we can talk about it until we are blue in the face guess we will just have to see.  I got Crawford tko rounds 7-9.  I think Crawford will wear Spence down in the later rounds.  Gonna be a good fight either way, and we are guaranteed a rematch if the losing boxer wants to run it back.

On a side note, there is a friendly bet between the two mayors representing this fighters,

Dallas Mayor Eric L. Johnson and Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert made a friendly wager on Wednesday ahead of the undisputed welterweight world championship showdown between Dallas-native and unified WBC, WBA and IBF welterweight world champion Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. and Omaha-native and WBO welterweight world champion Terence “Bud” Crawford, taking place this Saturday, July 29 on Showtime PPV from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

So probably this news will boost the already hype fight because of the involvement of the mayors hehehe. Just couple of days left before the fight. We are going to see the full weigh-in and see the body language of the two.

And most likely everyone has his own analysis and could have put their bets already.

For sure that's what on their mind, to knockout each other out and then claim as the best 147 lbs fighter and then claim back the pound for pound from Naoya Inoue. So it's important for them to win by knockout.

But it's really hard to predict as I have said, they could be playing defense all throughout and waiting for a simple opening and take the chance. Maybe either one of them can win by a knockout or that they are evenly match that the fight will go to distance and then it's up to the judges to decide who is going to win in this fight.

Now that's a great friendly bet. Too bad most of my boxing personal friends are too busy with their lives and I am not sure if they are watching this fight live. Another friend connected with me but he is a changed man who's not into betting and liquor anymore for years now. Would've offered some wonderful stuff if anyone is interested.

Anyways, Texas and Nebraska are always supportive of these 2 fighters ever since. Spence though has a huge market advantage knowing how big and rich Texas is compared to the rural-like state of Crawford. I just finished watching their last conference and it's cool, no bad blood but there was some trash talking including from the crowd. So from my earlier prediction of around 500k PPV buys, I believe that it should get a minimum of 800k now but hopefully, it will reach more than 1.2 million buys. Tickets are all sold out so an expected 20k fight fans will be watching.

This fight deserves to have at least 1 million PPV buys as they have hyped it a lot, and we thought it might not happen. Now that it's taking place in just a few days, I'm sure everyone is excited to see who the better boxer truly is.

Did the odds change a bit?

I'm checking now, and Crawford is becoming a heavy favorite from being a slight favorite.

Spence: 2.24
Crawford: 1.59

Nothing has change if I'm not mistaken, Crawford at the start is around 1.6k'ish odd, so just a small change in the odds but it's not that big to consider a swing on his favor. So it means that there are a lot of money in equal terms flowing in both direction. Maybe there will be some a small change, but its manageable and it can be covered.

And it's just a matter of how much bigger the PPV is, initially in the promotion of the hype, there is not that much noise. But come a few days before the fight there are a lot of speculations around and hype are getting bigger. So hopefully it can breach 1 million and so if will be the 2nd fight this year that we will have this big numbers based on the fighters themselves.

I'm with you here mate, yeah it seems that the hype has reaches it's peak as well and the timing is perfect for this guys to get the needed boost as everyone is talking about this mega fight in social media. So perhaps conservative estimates could run around 500k-800k PPV and then the highest could be around 1 million and higher and could even topple the record of Tank - Ryan Garcia fight in terms of revenues. And with that, both can make a tune of like $30M-$50M easy? What you think?

I also did not see any movement as far as the odds goes. Still Crawford is considered by the bookmakers as the favorite and then Spence, this is his first time to be the underdog after a long time.

I guess more bets are flowing on Crawford's side, but it hasn't changed a lot since Spence is also a champion, and probably the sharps are backing him with their bets. Both are champions, actually, but we cannot deny that fans see Crawford as the better fighter, so the odds will likely stay that way. It's up to us if we will choose the underdog and enjoy a good return in case Spence wins.

There's a lot at stake for Spence here, but he is willing to take that risk, so he must have a good plan on how to defeat Crawford. Losing here means losing his popularity as well.

[Vaculin]

Errol Spence may have 3 belts in his possession but certainly that doesn't mean that he is more superior or dominant than Terence Crawford that is yet to be answered this Saturday. Also because of his actions in the past years says different because it's somehow clear that he is ducking the latter and afraid to take the call then proceeds to wait the latter until to be much older. Just like what Mayweather did against Pacquiao at that time.

Indeed, we will be able to conclude now who's better between these two champs.

A long awaited fight that will unify all the belts in this division, fans will surely love how both fighters will going to execute
their respective strategy to win.

In that note about the similarity with how Mayweather handles the call in fighting Pacquiao, most of the fans feel that same way
but like what happened before, better than never. Let see if the same result will it be..

[Fundamentals Of]

This thread is silent the day before this long awaited battle will finally takes place. Is this calm before the storm?

To all those who have been demanding and waiting for this moment, have you already placed your bet? As for me, I have already placed a small amount for Crawford. I can't miss betting on this mega-fight between undefeated fighters. Just ML to be safe even if I strongly believe this fight will not last 12 rounds.

[harizen]

This is it and the fight will now happen for real within just less than 24 hours.

At the official face-off and weigh-in;

Terence "Bud" Crawford @ 146.3 lbs
Errol "The Truth" Spence Jr. @ 147 lbs

Both fighters are look conditioned and no signs of any exhaustion or something along those lines because of hard training. I also like the way they talked to each other during the face-off and shake hands where in most cases, we are seeing rival boxers already starting to get heated once facing each other. It's like they are showing respect to each other and will just do the talking in the ring.

Let's get it on!
