Errol Spence Jr. vs Marcos 'El Chino' Maidana @ 147 - WHO WINS?

Maidana old-mans him ATM. Ask again in 18 months

That is a high end cross roads fight.


I would say this though Maidana is a tricky fighter (a lot trickier than he is given credit for), and in a step up fight fighting a tricky guy is not usually ideal for the inexperienced guy. Also if Spence can make the fight simple against Maidana it is likely to be a pretty bad fight, so that is also a pretty big drawback to making that the step up fight when winning may not help him that much (especially winning the easy way).

Maidana is now a heavyweight

Spence doesnt impress me as everyone else on here. I remember when it started. Some guy hyped him up a while back before a fight and he looked great. Then came the Broner story, but in all reality he hasnt looked that impressive besides maybe one fight since.

yea some folks aren't being real and overconfident with spence's skills. dude has 16 fights vs nobodies and he's gonna "win easy" against marcos? that's a huge step up in competition and a recipe for disaster.

Maidana's style is tailor made for Spence. Spence will pick him apart and stop him late. Easy work imo.

heard this one before. by body shot right?

I'm not ready to annoint him the new king just yet, but he looks good to me. He has bodied his last 3 opponents impressively. The problem is he is fighting guys that just don't belong in the ring with him. He needs to fight a top 15 guy as I think he is ready. Garcia while a tough guy, is just going to be there for Spence to pick apart and really is'nt a challenge for him. Garcia's last opponent looked good boxing Garcia until he tired out. I don't see Spence tiring out.

Spence has a significant height and reach advantage, athletic advantage, hell I would give Spence the edge in most anything outside ring expirience and power. Also as of now, Chino could'nt beat a blow up doll's ass with the shape he is in.

Errol definitely has the skills to beat Maidana, but he still needs some grooming. The fight would most likely be a main event, making the jump from fighting on the undercards to headlining with a seasoned vet like Maidana is asking a lot out of him. I don't see him being able to a perform to the best of his abilities on that big of a stage just yet.

[Dr Rumack]

If Chino can still make 147 without killing himself he'd be too much for Spence right now. Spence would make too many bad decisions at this stage of his career.

Maidana will not be beat...
