Via Jack Tiernan: Devin Haney is speaking out on the news Errol Spence Jr vs. Terence Crawford agrees to terms for an undisputed weightlifting championship two months from now on November 19 in Las Vegas.
Haney feels that Spence-Crawford is a “50-50” Adultery can go one of two ways, depending on what they bring.
Devin says 147-lb WBO champion Crawford has a tendency to be a little too extreme which could hurt him because it would leave him vulnerable to heavyweight Spence.
We haven’t seen how sure the soon-to-be 35-year-old Crawford is as he’s only faced two big boxers in his career, Kell Brook and Egidijus Kavaliauskas.
Crawford hits the floor after being nailed by Kavaliauskas with a big shot. Although the knock was dismissed by the referee and ruled to miss, it was clear that Crawford was legally disqualified.
Brook was past his prime and was unlike the man he had been years before. However, before Crawford stopped Brook in the fourth round, he was getting emotional and looked very nervous.
“I love Crawford, and I love Spence. I just want to be a fan and just watch,” Devin Haney told Against TV Hub about the November 19 fight between Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford.
“I like both of them, and to be honest, I couldn’t pick a winner. I think it’s 50-50. I think on any given night they can beat each one.
“I would love to watch that game over and over again because I feel it could end in a knockout in the first game, but in the second, it could go in a different direction.
“I just feel like those people are equally matched. It depends on what kind of fight Crawford fights because, at times, he can be aggressive, and be too aggressive and get caught, and that works in Errol’s favor.
“He [Spence] has a good shot, good power, smart fundamentals. So a switch hitter like Crawford, it could be kryptonite for him because a guy with better fundamentals can beat a guy like that,” Haney said as he gave a thought. about the match between Spence and Crawford.
Spence can box when he wants to. If he chooses to play against Crawford, it could be an interesting chess match. It will be interesting to see if Spence can mail Crawford as he did to Mikey Garcia.
