In a recent interview with FightHype.com, former WBO title challenger Hank Lundy picked Crawford to win this bout. He believes that Crawford’s success lies in his ability to box effectively, but he raises concerns about ‘Bud’s’ tendency to veer towards brawling instead of sticking to his boxing skills. According to Lundy, this can potentially lead to trouble for him in the ring.

“To be truthful, I got Spence going to another dimension, and I know where Crawford lackin’. Wanting to fight too much instead of, you know, boxing.” he said

Moreover, Lundy acknowledged that Crawford possesses tremendous skill and a competitive spirit, referring to it as having “dog” in him. However, the former title challenger warned that if Crawford failed to go the whole twelve rounds, it could create opportunities for Spence to exploit.

” Now he said he’s gonna put a boxing lesson on Spence. I mean, Crawford got dog in him. Crawford ain’t gonna go the whole rounds and box. He gonna win a fight, and when and that’s when I can tell you that’s when a lot of trouble gonna happen for him. He’s got to stay true to his game and box.” he added

These insights from Lundy, who has shared the ring with Crawford, add an interesting perspective to this discussion. While many admire Crawford’s versatility and aggressive approach, Lundy’s observations highlight the importance of balance and strategic decision-making in the ring. Moreover, Spence also believes that Crawford’s power is over-hyped considering the level of opponents he has faced.
