Errol Spence enters the ring with an impressive unblemished record of 28 wins and no losses, including 22 victories by way of knockout. His ability to apply constant pressure has proven to be a formidable combination, earning him recognition as one of the best welterweights in the world. The southpaw stance of Spence and his knack for breaking down opponents have been pivotal in his rise to prominence.
On the other side of the ring stands Terence Crawford with a remarkable record of 39 wins, no losses, and 30 knockout victories. The switch-hitting maestro is renowned for his crafty footwork, lightning-fast counters, and ring intelligence, making him a challenging puzzle to solve for any opponent.
In a fight of such highly skilled boxing greats, picking an outcome is incredibly difficult. Spence’s size will create problems that Crawford has not quite faced yet and could result in Spence landing some clean shots in the earlier rounds and giving him the first advantage. Over time Crawford’s boxing IQ should allow him to catch up and counter, making the middle rounds very exciting.
If you favor Spence, your best bet is Spence by decision at 3.25. Those wanting a slightly higher return could back Crawford to come on strong after weathering an early storm followed by him finishing by way of knockout in round 9-12 at 7.00. Or to hedge your bets, wager on either fighter to win by split decision with odds of 6.50 covering all bases in a highly competitive bout.
