I'd love to see Spence vs. Lara

i'm pretty sure that thurman has a higher ceiling than spence tbh

Lara UD. Spence would get popped all night chasing.

You don't go from Van Heerden to Lara man

I'm not understanding this fantasy matchup at all. A prospect vs a sly, slick, seasoned and elite vet? Why?

Yeah that TC fight at 147 could be very interesting, lets hope TC finishes up quickly with 140lbs. I think Crawford will be done with 140 after his next fight. Arum's already talking Pac/Crawford (if they can't get Khan). I hope they move TC up to 147 vs Algeri or Vargas first then look for him and Pac. That WBO WW title is going to get hot with Ali, Bradley, Khan, Vargas, and Algeri all in the picture.

Spence is sooo not ready for Lara. The thing that concerns me about Spence is that he's slow for his style. When you're young and fighting scrubs, you should look quick, even if you're a plodding fighter. Spence is going to step up and suddenly the opponents are going to have a much easier time catching him, then he's going the same problem Broner ran into. I only hope that's not the case.

Spence is a WW, there's no need for him to move up against a bigger and more experienced man in Lara. There's plenty of great fights for Spence like; Khan, Alexander, Guerrero, Bundu, Vasquez, or Robinson. Also want to see him stay at WW long enough to have super fights with Crawford, Ali, even Verdejo. Yeah that TC fight at 147 could be very interesting, lets hope TC finishes up quickly with 140lbs.

I hope Spence gets as far away as possible from Floyd and his family, this guy has some major talent and I don't want to see those leeches clinging onto him. He is no Mayweather, he could potentially be the next biggest thing and not because of hate towards him but for the talent and entertainment he could likely put on.

Lara messes Spence up.

Easy decision for Lara. Spence walks into counters all night long. What people have not been able to see that is very obvious is Spence is slow as hell! Think Younger Mayweather and especially Leonard. No comparison at all like they were trying to do tonight on TV. Of course he's not Floyd or Ray. Those guys are once in a generation type of guys. But spence is not slow. He just doesn't throw fast flurries but he has fast hands

Way too early, kid gets eaten up.

a totally unnecessary fight

yea lets end the kids career immediately... smh

Spence is a great prospect but he fights at 147. It's not a good idea to spot one of the best and slickest fighters in the world 7 pounds. As high as I am on Spence for the future I would pick Lara to outpoint Spence or win by KO if Spence doesn't have a good chin and Lara goes for a KO. Lara would be very hard for any 147 pounder or 154 pounder to beat. There is a reason Mayweather is fighting Berto and not Lara. Lara would be a very real threat to Mayweather.

Way too early! Spence Jr is slowly building up critics so that is great for him and that means he is going in the right direct with is career Spence Jr is not taking any shortcuts he has a good team around him which is just his Father and his Trainer and nobody else. Jo Jo Dan, Leonard Budu, Chris Algeiri to finish out the year would be another solid step up for him LMFAO at Spence Jr being "SLOW"? WTF are you watching? You need to get your eyes check up upgrade your TV! You mean he stands on his punches? Then yes he sure does! I don't see "SLOW" at all that Jab gets out quickly and it lands with force

I think so as well. Lara is too seasoned and a longer reach I believe plus a much sharper left. Im still not sold if Spence can even beat khan, maidana, thurman, Bradley

From what I've seen so far, Lara UD or he possibly gets him out. I think Spence is too squared up and Lara will measure him.
