Need to catch up later sounded a good fight
Couple of great fights coming up, Smith vs Beterbiev although I don't give smith a lot of chance to be fair.
Then Spence vs Crawford, I guess Spence has been waiting for Crawford to age a bit, judging by how they both fought vs Kell Brook I expect Crawford to stop Spence.
If Inoue can carry that up to lightweight, in with Haney, Stevenson, Lomachenko and Kambosas etc that will be aan incredibly strong division.
im going Crawford by 10th round stoppage.
Crawford on paper of course, not least how they both disposed of kell brook and s porter.
Spence for me slightly better alertness in the ring. Think his recent accident gives him a psychological advantage. Surprisingly slightly bigger man.
Spence would need to hurt/frustrate in early rounds whilst crawford tries to suss out opposition like he does in all fights. Needs to avoid crawford right hook throughout the fight. He needs to try and get on the inside as think crawford wins a jabbing/distance contest.
If spence hurts/shocks him early, think a crawford retirement/doctors stoppage late rounds is a decent bet. Think its hard to strategise against spence. I think after round 4, if crawford not rattled a bit, then crawford takes it late rounds/decision.
Great fight prospect though. Unlike British heavyweight boxing, a good example of best vs best actually happening at the right time for the fans benefit.
is that was Kell was controlling the fight before his notoriously shit tank emptied and he then started to struggle before getting hurt and injured. Against Crawford he was just ruthlessly taken out.
EDIT: Just about to watch this Punch Perfect Boxing video & probaly change my opinion!

What I like most is two champions fighting each other, no drama, no bullshit just getting the fight made, refreshing especially in light of the recent heavyweight nonsense.
Whyte surely should get a lifetime ban this time.
Gutted for Whyte as he's a comical character but 3rd time positive??!!! A lifetime ban would make others think a bit harder about trying although I'm fairly sure most use/have used PED's and it's rife.
Hope Josh takes hrgovic (as its the only plausible fight as he is due on the undercard anyway). Ziang fights in late sept so prob not a goer. everyone else fighting soon, done for peds or fought already. Only wilder with no upcoming fight, but that wont happen with a weeks notice in the 02.
Spence crawford a disappointing fight, as was tank garcia, but as a fight fan, at least they are concluded and gave the fans what they wanted.
Whyte should retire. All mouth no trousers. Fuck off.
Joshua should just pack in. He's rubbish.
Sure he's stopped being the wrecking ball and young gung ho fighter he once was, being beaten has definitely made him think and plan his moves which the average Twitter armchair fan simply won't understand, but that finish was impressive.
I'm looking forward to the Wilder fight next, and regardless, win, lose or draw he's fought everyone who wants to play.
AJs not a natural fighter , he’s not a natural boxer , he is a great athlete who can hit . He is made for life financially and imho needs to keep it simple , think a bit less and risk a loss to get a statement win on his record.
39 year old with a glass chin, does ok for 6 rounds and gets hit with a shot that most heavyweights would not get stopped for.,,, Certainly not ruiz, klit, wilder, fury, ziang, hrgovic etc. Saw even more caution in joshuas approach and makes the wilder fight looks like more of a KO for wilder. Makes you wonder whether whyte would have won the fight.
