Rumor has it that at the end of October, the “pound” owners of all welterweight belts will meet in a face-to-face confrontation – Americans Errol Spence (28-0, 22 KOs) and Terence Crawford (38-0, 29 KOs).
Despite the fact that Mayweather has different data on this fight, the equally legendary Roy Jones Jr. and James Toney willingly shared their predictions. They are in solidarity with the majority of fans. At the same time, for some reason, they remember an accident involving Spence, although since then the American has already had two victorious fights.
Tony is confident that Crawford will destroy Spence in 6 rounds.
Jones Jr. is a little more careful in forecasts: “Everything is still not very clear. We need to see how Spence will be after that accident. After all, many don’t really know anything, but they speculate on this topic – they say that he will never be the same again. ”
“Yes, Crawford is a terrible uncle. But Spence is also a tough presser. And if he manages to play his game from the starting gong, then they will have a cool fight. But if it doesn’t work out, then Tony’s prediction may well come true,” Jones said.
But ex-world champion Sean Porter, who gave tough fights to both Crawford and Spence, does not agree with the legends: “With all due respect, but this is not so. The fight can end in any of the rounds, but it can go the whole distance. This is a deadly equal confrontation in strength. I would bet on Crawford with a minimal advantage. That is, not 50/50, but somewhere around 49.9 against 49.1% in his favor. It all depends on the plan for the fight and its execution in the ring.
Interestingly, Spence finally admitted his guilt in that terrible accident: “Yes, I drank …” Earlier, Mike Tyson named the winner in this confrontation.
