Carl Froch makes close prediction for Errol Spence vs. Terence Crawford fight: 'It really is a 51-49 percent fight'DAZN

There is just one month to go until Errol Spence and Terence Crawford finally meet in Las Vegas for the undisputed welterweight championship. 

It's a fight which has certainly been years in the making with excitement continually building, and now former world super middleweight champion Carl Froch has had his say on the contest.

The Nottingham man is expecting a close fight between the pair, but sees experience playing a vital role in the outcome. 

“I like the older, wiser Terence Crawford. Errol Spence is a fantastic talent, a great fighter. Crawford is as well, but he’s just a bit older and a bit wiser and, when he needs to, he can step it up a level," Froch said in a video on his YouTube channel Froch on Fighting

"He’s a bit similar to Oleksandr Usyk in the heavyweights. If he has a bad round, he then just steps on the gas. I think Crawford has that slight extra gear and is that little bit more special.

“So I’d say Crawford beats Spence, but it really is a 51-49 percent fight, nothing in it. It’s one I’m really looking forward to."
