Comments Thread For: Spence Hired Full-Time Nutritionist For First Time: 'Weight Has Always Been Real Serious Issue For Me'

Damn! It sounds to me that Spence has a drinking problem. That would help fluctuate his weight faster than anything.

Sounds like he has just one or two more fights left at 147 better make it Crawford next get all the belts and move up . No more delays

True, i mean most of the guys who blew up in weight, hatton, DLH, Fury, were all alcoholics

They were very noticeable you could see them chubby in the face.

Spence I never seen looking fat between fights but his drinking problem certainly wouldnt help

[Get em up]

Do you think? I didn't see that in the Porter fight. It was a form of ineffective ring generalship. He walked Porter down without throwing anything. They were both looking for a counter punch but Porter's step-forward wasn't quick enough so he had to charge forward then we got 2/3 punch exchange inside and then clinching and Repeat - it was very boring to watch after a while when I realised they were neutralising each other.
I think Spence will try to fight behind his world class jab but Ugas will counter him.

This is basically what I meant by that comment about Ugas engaging. Rewatching some of Spence's earlier fights lately he had a good punch selection and output. With Ugas being a counter puncher I can see a high octane fight while it lasts but I believe Spence wins in spectacular fashion. I honestly think from what I'm seeing in training and interviews Spence feels like a man on a mission and that makes him a tough fight for anybody.

His metabolism says otherwise. He’s getting older, he’s going to carry natural weight around anyway. Water retention is a huge factor. Some of these guys put on as much as 17 pounds in like 30 hours somehow with no iv’s.

Right. Again, there's no telling how long he's been making that weight. In most cases, guys fight a few lbs heavier in the amateurs than they do in the pro ranks, so knocking off those last few lbs can be a headache, as most fighters have endorsed.

Let's go back to same-day weigh-ins, and rid the sport of weight bullies. 190 lbs for someone who comes down to fight at Welterweight? Go fight ****ing Cruiser if you want to walk around that big..

One of the major storylines surrounding the career of Errol Spence Jr. is just how much longer the big-bodied boxer could compete at 147 pounds. The WBC and IBF welterweight champion has been hinting for a while about his inevitable move up to the super welterweight division.

Weight issues and bad judges is what messes boxing.
Spence should be a Middle Weight. So should many others. Guys like PAC and Floyd walk at 150 normally so for them to fight guys that can balloon to 190 is insane.

Solution is pretty simple - the final weigh in should be on actual fight day, not a day before.

[i love boxing]

That is great news.

[Liondw]

Spence could realistically go all the way up to super middleweight.

Then a potential Canelo fight doesn't sound that far fetched. I don't think he'll fight either of the Charlo brothers as he moves up, because they're friends.

Then again, if the money is right, who knows.

And so the excuse to swerve TC is layed..lose to Ugas
