    It's all there. He only has five fights but I wanna see him go 8 or 10 rounds already. It's very rare that you see this much skill so early as a pro, Rigondeaux's the only other fighter I can think of that showed tremendous skills very early.


    Go to 3:50 of the vid, you can literally hear Hoskins soul leaving his body after Spence lands that body shot.

      Spence is pretty good, he was the best at 152 pounds in the amateurs for a while...been following him since the Olympic Trials...I really thought him and Marcus Browne had the best chances at medaling in the Olympics...

      I don't know if Spence has star power but he does everything well, he's patient and doesn't waste any shots...idk if he has any "star" power to build a fanbase but we'll see...

          Yea, I saw Roger numerous times at MGM and at Cosmopolitan Friday night. He was pretty much taking pics with anyone who asked it seemed.

            He has a pretty big fanbase around the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Hopefully Al Haymon and Goldenboy get him some fights in Texas to build his fanbase locally first. That would be a good start.

                I talked to Keith Thurman at that fruity drink bar spot at MGM near the food court...asked him when he was going to fight Broner just for kicks lol.

                That would be an interesting fight at Welterweight tho if Broner stays there after Paulie.

                  I talked to Lou Dibella after the fight and asked him about a potential Floyd-Sergio match and he said right now he doesn't see Sergio beating Floyd. Even talked to the guy from *************** I did a interview.

                    Correction, he gave great sparring to Floyd and planked Broner.

                      Andrade and Spence are the next american hopes.
