Errol Spence Jr just yet.
There is something about him that leaves me uneasy about him. His guard is too close imo. He can't see all of the punches coming. Now this is just my opinion.
Now he is young and maybe Oluoch is just a cagey guy, but he hit Spence a few times and even backed him up once. Spence got him out of there, but I'm just not sold yet.
Good power, but I'm questioning his defense.
I'v seen guys get better in each and every fight and that could happen with this kid, but it's a wait and see thing with me. I love his attitude, courtesy and respect for his opponent and the game...so I hope that he does well.
The problem with spences defense when he goes on the offense is the fact that he's right handed which causes him to wing a lot of his punches. And he uses his left as a shield mostly.His left is almost always a hook to add power to that hand. A couple of times he missed and the shot was VERY awkward because of that. When he does throw the left straight it carries some power yes but not as much as it should. He relies a lot on his right but does try to equal out his left. Good body puncher but wings them a lot. He still has loads to improve and I hope he finds ways to make up for the weaker rear hand,(even though it does have some power). It really is only used to set up his right hook.
he's a Southpaw. or are you saying he switches his stance when he goes on the offense?
I had a feeling this is who u were gonna talk about lol. I like and and want him to become a beast but yea his defense does need work. But only 11 fights he has plenty of time I'm sure hell be champ soon
You realize nobody in history puts on a virtuso performance everytime out.Who said that he needed to? His defense looked suspect, and his chin did for a sec too. Things like this just click in me. I could be right or you'll think I'm wrong.
He's a prospect dude, so he'll def improve with each bout. It's part of the learning experience so him getting rocked or kd is something to look forward to because we will see how he deals with adversity. Looks good thus far tho.

I like Spence. He made me famous for a short period of time. At the Broner vs Maidana fight I was just talking to him and he asked to take a pic. People saw that and afterward were coming up to me asking me to sign their fight posters, I was like "yeah i'm nobody, Spence is the famous one".
Hahaha thats funny

I really like spence. He delt with an awkward style and was constantly on the attack and just got caught a few times. So much up side for him and I know he'll continue to get better.

I'm a big fan of the guy. There's a reason why he's being moved the way he is. Technically, he's pretty sound. Defensively, he did get caught, but his chin was down with just about every shot he took. Also kept that high guard and had a lot of shots land on his arms.
But he faced a guy that was pretty awkward. Had control, lost it for a moment or two then regained it once again. Finished the job and goes on to the next test. I'm just glad he's getting all these fights in. He's 24 and I think he's looking to work on the holes that I believe he thinks he has this year. I'm sold
I think Spence is someone to keep an eye on. He obviously hits hard but he looked a little lost for a couple of moments in there with that Kenyan guy tonight.
