Spence loads up on shots with his wide stance and has been caught a lot. I'm not impressed with Spence and if he wins and fights Brook for the IBF I'm going with Brook. I think Algieri is going to give Spence all he can handle. Wouldn't be surprised with an Algieri win. Algieri has finished on his feet against Provodnikov and Pac despite being floored. And went the distance with Khan. An Algieri win won't be an upset imo
Spence doesn't load up from distance which is where that is most dangerous. It's usually when he has his opponent on the ropes and trying to unload on them is where he'll load up.
People shouldn't underestimate this. Algieri has been on the big stage before. I don't know if Spence will be shook but this is his first big showcase fight on national TV. He's the heavy favorite and the pressure is on him to not only win but win in a dominant fashion.
remember Mike Jones... WHO?????????????? MIKE JONES
It'll say a lot about Spence if he manages to steamroll Algieri. I think this is a tough fight. And if it is, that's not a knock on Spence. Having a tough time with Algieri at this point in his career doesn't mean he isn't the goods.
*****e!! Chris is a tall, lanky, solid fighter with well rounded skill. I thought he gave khan the business and outside of Pacman has done pretty darn well. He's pretty clearly the best fighter this young guy would have ever faced. Not a far fetched idea that he could win.
youre on a roll today
Hey remember when you asked why people talk about spence instead of imam :cool2:
Remember when spence fought someone good?
Nope...
If Chris can put together combos and use his superior feet, he will cause Spence a lot of problems
If he just throws one's and two's like he did against Khan, it's not going to win him the fight
Spence is somewhat flat footed

agreed
spence is a bit stiff and telegraphed imo
i don't know whether algieri will win, but i wouldn't be surprised if he manages to beat spence to the punch and avoid most of the major return fire. i also won't be surprised to see spence's power not carry up to the top level
I see only one or two thinking Spence will take it to Algieri. I am one that will also say Spence will show us why he is hyped. He will either stop Algieri, or beat him very badly. Algieri has no amateur experience, and this isn't kick boxing. Spence's bodywork will break Algieri down and will hurt him in the second half of the fight.
Easy work for Spence, but it is a fact that he does need step up fights to prove he deserves in the top ten at welter. If I am wrong, I will come back here and admit it. Don't think I will have to though.
Spence gets Knocked Out Cold !!!
Someone's Blonde girlfriend, sitting ringside, gets a tummy ache from mixing alcoholic drinks... We can call her Zoe...
Of course Zoe turns out to be vegan....
She orders a couple of Bananas to settle her stomach.... After a few minutes, Zoe's tummy is cured...
Just then Errol lands a thumping combination, and the crowd roars.... Zoe is startled and jumps to her feet..
In so doing, one of the Banana peels flys from her hand and into the ring...
Oblivious to this, Spence continues his attack.... Then Errol slips on a Banana peel and does a "My cousin Vinny in the mud" goes completely horizontal and hits the back of his head hard on the canvas....
Poor Errol Spence is knocked out cold for about 20 seconds.... A no contest is declared.... Zoe is dubbed the " Steve Bartman" of boxing and declares "I dont get it" ....
Spence gets shook under the big lights.. Comes in overconfident, algieri steals the early rounds with jab, lateral movement, work rate.. Spence panics, freezes up and loses a decision... The only way I can see algieri win... Similar to Quintana-williams 1
Simple:

Spence is no where near the guy you want him to be.
Quite frankly, when spence is forced to go backwards he's not impressive at all.
Hey remember when you asked why people talk about spence instead of imam :cool2:
I think Spence Jr is just SPECIAL and he will show it this fight
That being said I respect Algieri and I think with the right gameplan yes he can pull the upset absolutely and if Spence take him likely and think he can just show up, walk through his punches and get him out of their then he himself could get off to a good start then slow down and get picked apart late in the fight if he doesn't fight smart, pace himself and be patient
Well....I came here only to see what is being said. This is my first post (that I know about) here. Errol Spence Jr. has "unusual profile" right now. I have been involved 49 years..I feel for the Sport.
Probably Spence by decision.
NO NO NO. NO WAY CAN ALGIERI BEAT SPENCE. The gap in skills and punching power between these two boxers is as wide as the grand canyon. It will be as one sided as the Pacquiao-Algieri fight only Spence will KO Algieri because he is meaner than today's Pacquiao.
