The unified Welterweight champion responded to the Mexican’s claims. Moreover, Spence made it clear that he doesn’t believe in allowing others to dictate the outcome of his fights. He also pointed out that Alvarez picking himself to win against Dmitry Bivol did not turn out great for the undisputed champion, thus removing value from his claims.

“He got it wrong, cause he not God. And he backed himself to beat [Dmitry] Bivol and he got his a*s whooped.” said Spence

In true Spence fashion, he made it clear that he doesn’t let anyone else’s opinions dictate the outcome of his fights. In addition, ‘The Truth’ is one of the best boxers in the world and is yet to be beaten in the ring. Nevertheless, in the competitive world of boxing, predictions and opinions are all part of the pre-fight excitement. Despite this, Bivol also feels that ‘Bud’ might have the upper hand heading into this fight.

Bivol’s prediction in favor of Crawford speaks volumes about the challenge that lies ahead for both fighters. Moreover, the clash between two champions at their peak is a testament to the allure of the sport. In the end, Saturday night will provide the answers to all predictions and speculations.
