Former world champion gives his prediction for Errol Spence Jr. vs. Terence Crawford
Former three-weight world champion James Toney has given a bold prediction for the highly anticipated bout between Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford.
While there isn't much to separate the two fighters, Toney believes that the matchup would be a rather one-sided affair. In a recent interview with Mill City Boxing, 'Lights Out' previewed the welterweight title clash and claimed that Crawford has better experience in fighting tough opponents.
Further, James Toney opined that Terence Crawford would knockout Errol Spence Jr. and said:
"I think he’s [Crawford] is too much for Spence, but we’ll find out, we’ll never know until they’re in that ring. I’m not being biased, Crawford is the better fighter, he’s fought the better competition, people say that Spence has but I don’t see it."
He continued:
"I see a late-round stoppage – knockout! Spence has never dealt with anyone who’s just as fast as he is and who hits harder than he does. I love Shawn Porter, but Crawford beat the breaks off him.”
