Porter fought both and says 'if he was laying money on it, he would back Bud.'

That's me. I'm gonna watch it, but the waiting took alot out of it.

Other then that, it's "just" a big fight for boxing fans. No GGG, no Canelo, no Garcia, no Davis, no YouTuber.
Just two of the best boxers fighting it out. It's important to us, but the non-boxing fans don't care about this fight at all.

You are saying that because you think they have the judges.

That's just it, it's still a hot fight but it's no longer boiling.

The PR teams have got a lot of work to do in the next 4 weeks or someone could be taking a serious financial hit.

No way would I bet on this one. It will bring out the dog in both, but if it goes to the cards I can't see Spence losing. He averages about 70 punches per round compared to Bud's 30-35.
I will say this...if Bud hurts Spence like Ugas did, he'll finish him. (Even though it was Spence's own stupid mistake) Bud may get broken down and stopped late too, who knows. I think it goes 12 though honestly.

Am I wrong saying this is the 1st undisputed at welter in the 4 belt era?

I honestly don't remember. Those kinda stats are arbitrary to me anyway because the "4 belt era" is nonsense to begin with.

There's only 1 Champion. That's all there ever has been. All there ever will be.

Compubox has Crawford 45 Spence 64 thrown per round. Cant remember where I seen the other stat.

My point is thst Spence is much busier, and it may be the difference.

My stat was off, yes, but hopefully you get my point.

I don't know what the average punches they throw a round is, and I don't think it matters a hell of a lot. I'd bet you damn near anything that Crawford's accuracy is significantly better than Spence's though.

Sometimes a guy throwing less is just picking his shots better.

It's a very close fight to call.
Can't help but think Crawford will have a leg up with the judges considering where it's taking place.

One thing that does appear to be clear, the miles show on Spence way more than it does on Crawford.
Terence does look more clear headed and fresh.
