Errol Spence Jr and Terence Crawford clash in the early hours of Sunday morning at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas in what promises to be a historic fight.
The contest for the undisputed welterweight title clash looked to have drifted away after various delays and cancellations, but two of the best pound-for-pound fighters on the planet are now ready to rumble.
It’s two unbeaten fighters, two superstars, two world champions and all four major welterweight belts are on the line in Vegas.
- Errol Spence to win
- Errol Spence by decision
Spence To Be Crowned Undisputed
This is a mouthwatering contest and it’s possible to make a strong case for either fighter emerging triumphant. Spence has won all of his 28 professional contests and 22 of those victories have come by stoppage. The Truth is the WBA, WBC and IBF world welterweight king and the 33-year-old has dismissed the challenge of Kell Brook, Mikey Garcia, Shawn Porter, Danny Garcia and Yordenis Ugas in a glittering career.
The New York-born fighter looks to hold the edge in size and strength, but physicality alone may not be enough to win this bout.
Crawford has won all of his 39 career contests and 30 of those have come by knockout. Bud has excellent wins over Shawn Porter, Kell Brook and Amir Khan on his record and most recently the Nebraska fighter stopped the super-tough David Avanesyan in four rounds.
The 35-year-old is a vicious switch-hitting, adaptable fighter and a supreme boxer. However, the Nebraska man has fought only three times since 2019, and while Crawford is still a fantastic performer, it’s possible that Bud’s peak may have passed.
Spence is a busy front-foot fighter and that could provide the eye-catching action. Crawford will no doubt have moments of success in this contest, but Spence’s work may be more frequent and, at the prices, the Truth looks value to deliver.
Truth Can Deliver Decision Win
Spence and Crawford are two fighters who carry plenty of power, but they are also technically gifted boxers with excellent defensive abilities and this Las Vegas contest is likely to go the distance. Spence certainly has a higher work-rate and punch output and that could catch the eye of the judges.
Crawford tends to do his work in short spurts and while that is often extremely impressive, a close fight may not go Bud’s way.
Spence is the fresher, younger boxer and the Truth is worth backing to win this superfight on the scorecards.
