Watched the All Access Spence v Crawford episode 1 today.
Started with a brief altercation between Derrick James and Terence Crawford at the doors leading into the arena at the press conference in NYC.
Went on to showing Spence hanging out with players of the Dallas Cowboys and Crawford at a parade in his hometown Omaha.
They moved on to Colorado Springs where Crawford is training up in the mountains and back down to Dallas with Spence training in 100 degree tempertures inside the gym.
It showed them both hanging out with their families and spending time with their kids and among it all the usual previous fight clips and interviews with the boxers and other people related to the event.
The impression Spence left me with was he's expecting to do this through a war of attrition so to speak, whereas Crawford is thinking this will be won with a more strategically sound game plan , let's see what episode two has to offer.

Nonito Donaire vs. Alexandro Santiago had been pulled from this weekends card. Instead will now fight on this undercard.

I’ll pay for this, it’s a genuine PPV fight. Undisputed, for all the belts between the 2 best fighters in the division.
That doesn’t happen very often in boxing.

The potential fight of the year looking better and better.
Hopefully both fighters will emerge from this with their reputations enhanced.
Boxing is a strange sport where you can go from hero to zero in a shockingly short time.
The judges haven't had a good year so I'm hoping we won't be needing them in 2 weeks time.

Obviously it's a close fight to call and difficult to make a pick on the winner.
However, after watching some of their most recent bouts and evaluating their record and behaviour I'm beginning to lean towards one of the boxers.
Without question Errol Spence has fought the better competition so I'm not going to get into any back and forth about that as it's clear he has the edge in that category.
But when I look at the two of them talking and the way they behave, Terence Crawford seems much more alert and clear headed to me, Errol strikes me as a bit of a stoner on the side and slurs at times and doesn't appear to be 100% there depending when you catch him.
So for now I'm giving the edge to Terence Crawford based off of that, as well as I've rarely seen Crawford shook up or stunned which may well have something to do with his level of opponent, but he always looks steady and in control no matter who he fights.
I may change my mind depending on what happens from here on in, but for now the pick is Terence Crawford and I won't count out the possibility he could actually stop Spence inside the distance.

The closer we get the more I think Craw takes him easily.

It's out now, I watched it earlier.
Most of the show is based in their training camps, Anthony Joshua makes an appearance in the show at Errol's camp.
Also shows Derrick James receiving his 2022 boxing trainer of the year award.

Do love a bit of All Access just finished the second episode
Great fight this one, at the moment I would say I am rooting for Spence but believe Bud does it
Not counting Spence out at all though, but i do agree with Evanders comments
