Legendary boxing trainer Abel Sanchez predicts win for Errol Spence Jr.
Boxing trainer Abel Sanchez has cast his prediction for the highly anticipated bout between Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford.
Speaking to FightHub on YouTube, Sanchez dropped what fans have considered a wild take in regard to the outcome of the fight. According to the boxing trainer, he is expecting a routine win for Spence.
Abel Sanchez doubled down on his point by labeling Terence Crawford as "passive", believing that Errol Spence Jr. will take advantage of that and grind out a decision win. He said:
“I think Spence wins. He won’t stop [Terence Crawford] but I think he will control him from the outside. His jab will be significant, and whether ‘Bud’ goes with a right or left hand Spence will deal with it easily. It’s a smaller guy against a bigger guy who is younger and a little more spirited and that’s why Spence wins. 'Bud' is sometimes a little too passive in some of his fights and Spence will take advantage of that.”
