Agree. But Brook has a bit better defense than Spence. Faster hands too. I don't think neither Brook nor Spence can withstand each other's punches for too long but Brook's experience may give him the edge.
I was at the Lartey fight and remember how rocked Spence was. I also had a chance to speak to his cutman (RIP) later and he told me that was more about not seeing the punch as opposed to not having a good chin. Not sure if that's any better. We'll see.

no my assessment in some respects is similar, his head movement isnt great and he IS hittable, brook was able to connect repeatedly with good counters. his chin held up though, definitely not made of glass. his jab was much much better this fight, i was impressed with him on saturday night, must have some good pop in his shots too to do that damage to brook. without a doubt hes a world class fighter, time will tell whether he becomes the fighter that some people think he will. Thurmans gonna ask a lot of questions.
