Comments Thread For: Spence Discusses Future Move To 154: I'll Be Stronger, Sharper And Could Throw 1,300 Punches

[Ray*]

Spence at 154, Jermell at 160, Jermall at 168.

[Roadblock]

Spence doesn't have much power at 147 so to go after naturally bigger guys would be absurd

Power goes up with weight Spence would punch harder at 154, especially if he really is doing hard to make 147.

[Doubledagger]

Looks like an alibi so that if he loses to Pacquiao. He'd say that's not my best. My Best is at 154.

Bruh Spence been talking about his weight since the Kell Brook fight. Everyone knows he is big for the weight.

Even after the Danny fight when he went to Canelo's fight and called him out Spence said that he is only 70 percent at welterweight and would be 100 percent at 160 which is why he was calling out Canelo


That was long before the Pac fight was made.

Yawl paranoid mtfers tryna spin everything someome says.

Jeff Horn is better than both, Khan isn’t.

Manny Pacquiao has had two fights since leaving Top Rank.

Mikey Garcia left Top Rank when he was still a prospect.

I don’t understand either comparison to Crawford’s career.

Jeff Horn didn't beat anyone on the way to the Pacquiao fight, and didn't beat anyone after the Pacquiao fight, and most people don't believe he even won the Pacquiao fight! Pacquiao fought Broner, Thurman, and now Spence! Mikey fought Broner, Spence @ AT&T (47K fans), and is in talks with Prograis as we speak! Crawford has a very weak resume at 147...still!

BOB ARUM: JEFF HORN’S WIN OVER MANNY PACQUIAO WAS NO ROBBERY

BRISBANE, Australia – Bob Arum appeared calm and collected as he sat on the dais between Queensland Tourism and Education Minister Kate Jones and Lord Mayor Graham Quark in a large room on the fifth floor of Suncorp Stadium.

While social media and sports commentators on ESPN — which televised the fight in primetime on Saturday in the U.S. — shouted robbery after Jeff Horn won a unanimous decision over Manny Pacquiao to lift the WBO welterweight title, Arum called for restraint.

Five years ago, when Tim Bradley Jr was awarded a split-decision winner over Pacquiao, Arum went off in the media center, calling the judging “outrageous.”

This time around, Arum kept an open mind about the scoring, explaining a win for either fighter could be reasoned.

“I thought it was a close fight, it could’ve gone either way,” said Arum, who will co-promote Horn’s future fights alongside New Zealand’s Duco Events. “There’s an argument for the fight being 7-5 Manny — 11th round was sort of close. I thought Manny gave away early rounds.

“Could it have been 7-5 for Manny? Yeah. But you can’t argue with the result.”

I think Pacquiao was robbed twice, and I think Arum had something to do with it...TWICE!

[Doubledagger]

He'll throw 1,300 punches, and 1,100 of them will be jabs. If he isn't going to fight Charlo at 154, then I don't care about his eventual move there, unless of course Bud goes to 154 too.

He threw 1200 punches against Mikey so its right up his alley

Jeff Horn beat Pacquiao. In the article you sent, Pacquiao’s promoter says the decision was fine.

It’s a trash division because no one there is a stud. Everyone is the same. Charlo is not stud. He’s good and is the best at this weight class but not a whole lot. but he’s not stud. Jrock? Harrison? Rosario? I mean who is a stud there? These guys are all the same. Charlo was losing the 2nd fight vs Harrison. Spence would beat all those guys in much better fashion and imo he beats charlo. They’ll never fight obviously. But I guess I should say the fights at 154 are entertaining… I don’t favor anyone beating anyone by a whole lot.

That's actually why it's a good division, if one fighter can just run through a division the rest of the division probably isn't that good.

[ShaneMosleySr]

The guy who beat the current unified champion just fought to a draw with a 17-3 unranked welterweight.

The former unified champion was just outclassed by an unranked middleweight who couldn’t even win a round against top middleweights.

154 id awful.

I think Pacquiao's promoter was a co-conspirator in the crime...TWICE! That's why he's no longer his promoter! That and "fake contracts!" Lol!

Ok and what is 160? GGG a highly overrated fighter who waited until he was ancient to actuallt fight a good fighter? Charlo and Andrade who literally haven't fought anybody worth a damn since they were ironicallt at 154? Murata? Lol

168 without Benavidez in it is a lackluster ass division too. Saunders is a PED cheat, Plant is completely unrpoven, and Smith, while a decent fighter, is nothing to write home about.

This current 154 division is much better than the 140 division Crawford went Undisputed in. Postol's only good win was a twice beaten Matthyse. Indongo beat Ricky Burns and Troyawhatever to become unified.

I really don't like to diminish divisions, but a lot of these divisions y'all hype up be underwhelming as ****. 160 and 168 have been garbage divisions for quite some time, I don’t care how much 'talent' these divisions have if they don't fight each other. I respect the current 140 and 154 divisions and Cruiserweight as well because they all actually fight each other. 135, 147, and 160 could take some notes from those divisions.
