watching spence fights he doesn't react well to getting hit. he was visibly affected when he got countered by pederson who's no power puncher. he hasn't faced a legit power puncher. could he be packing glass???
His chin looks OK to me. It may not be like Haglers chin but it's definately not glass. He took some hard punches from Brook and didn't go down or get hurt.
He is a ko waiting to happen to me. And it's because he holds his hands too high, and too close to his face...and doesn't move his head. Bud is going to whip his ass.
You need to change your name if you rooting for Bud over the Truth.
I watched Spence walk through Kell Brook and Peterson shots like nothing.
By walk through I mean literally I witnessed him EAT a hard power shot, walk through it and come back with his own power shots with even more power on them.
I can understand people making the arguement "Well Peterson doesn't really punch too hard" but if you watch the punches themselves you can tell they have some mustard on them. But even then, how about Kell Brook's punches? Now I doubt anyone is naive enough to tell me Brook isn't a puncher.
If he had a glass chin, he just wouldn't be here. His defense is not all that and Peterson and Brook have respectable punches and landed enough to check and see what's there. He may not end up being Hagler but he doesn't have glass.
Only thang Spence be packin is a BBC witch gocho cuck ass shook... Go wach hocky.
lol :dance:

Damn right. Bud is going to put on a show I want that fight so bad.

we'll have to wait and see how he reacts to a real power puncher like thurman and to lesser extent porter.
I think a bigger issue is that he gets hit with punches he doesn't see, that is what I have noticed about him. This is a trait which is common in attack minded seek and destroy types, but if he doesn't have the most solid chin he will need to slightly alter his approach and become a little more responsible in his attack. This may take away from his offensive, but it is all about finding the right balance to be successful at the highest level.
Thurman could definitely trouble him for sure. People are already talking like that fight is a forgone conclusion, but to me he is a clear level up from Peterson, and better than Brook as well. I make Spence a small favourite in that fight.
I think he can be hit and hurt, but not a glass jaw. We have seen him hurt and rocked at journeyman level, that doesn't mean he is packing glass it can happen. But I also think it indicates that it is probably not a strong point.we'll have to wait and see how he reacts to a real power puncher like thurman and to lesser extent porter.
i question things, but i don't know about this. i didn't see him bothered by peterson honestly. but he does get hit. he took some big punches, the thing is that he had peterson in front of him.

He ate some bomb shots by Kell Brook and kept his hands up to recover. At least his recovery time is under 5 seconds... We haven't seen him "rocked" officially yet. Remains to be seen.
He really doesn't react well to getting hit but I don't think it's because he has a glass jaw. It's a flaw in his game that he'll have to fix but so far no one has taken advantage of it. Brook didn't do it so I don't see anyone else at WW exploiting it unless Crawford can carry his power up to the division. I think he'll be able to handle Thurman's power.
So far he’s proven he can take a punch. I can’t see any WW taking him out with one punch. He’s going to have to be hit with a significant combination to slow him down IMO.
