      Someone who fought Spence who caught him with a good shot. Remember this is NSB, where if you EVER get caught with a good shot, your chin is made of glass

        If he looks great against Brook he might have a hard time getting Thurman to fight him. I remember the old story of how he dropped and badly hurt Broner in sparring, he's a big WW and will make a good JMW.

        I'm pulling for Brook, but won't be the least bit upset if Spence wins. We need more stars in the sport and beating Brook & Thurman both this year will make him an elite fighter. Plus he'll have mando's with the Porter/Berto winner and Peterson. If I was Al, I'd make sure if Spence can't get Manny, to atleast get Bradley before he leaves 147.

          to be fair he didn't say he'd walk down Brook and stop him...or at least to my knowledge

          his comment is about walking down Thurman and stopping him

            Yeah, sparring where there are no real exertion of adrenaline to really test yourself. Spence has a suspect chin, he got clocked by a light hitting Lartey and didn't recover for a minute. He is going to ice Spence inside 6 rounds.
            This is the kind of logic that makes people look ******, every fight is different and every punch is different. Being hurt by a guy with less power is no guarantee that a harder puncher will be able to KO him.

            We heard that Kovalev was definitely going to KO Ward because Boone dropped him and Paul Smith rocked him. Same thing with Fury and Klitschko, Donaire and Rigondeaux.

            These triangle theories of "this guy hurt that guy so this bigger puncher will hurt that guy even more and knock him out" don't always work especially in fights between the best fighters or in Spence's case, potentially the best. Brook was dropped by some light hitting nobody early in his career, does that mean Spence will take him out? No!

              I like Spence's attitude. He seems like a guy who just loves fighting. If he proves to be the real deal against Brook then I can get on the bandwagon for sure

                I think it was a real respectful interview. I can't wait for Spence brook. I'll reserve judgment until after that particular fight.

                  He said she said, Ward was favorite against Kovalev. Spence doesn't react all too well on getting hit or fighters who forced him on the back foot. Paulie Acknowledged that from spence citing "he doesn't like it when the guy hits him back." Spence is consistent on reacting too negatively on getting hit. I doubt Spence could even beat Porter based on what kind of fight Porter is going to bring in the table.

                    Spence is a good fighter but Thurman will beat the sht outta him.

                      Right. Garcia is a rugged warrior and Thurman made him timid. Spence will shell up or try to be too brave and not have near the chin and get put down.
