Originally posted by BoxingIsGreat View PostWe'll soon find out the "Truth" about Spence.
First up is Gervonta. Can't wait to see him shine.
Spence has Lomachenko and Mikey to contend with eventually. Spence has Thurman and Brook and maybe Crawford. You need opponents to shine. Spence might just shine more eventually because he is in a glamour division.
I'm not sure Davis will ever be put near Lomachenko until Lomachenko starts to fade which prob won't be any time in the next few years.

The biggest risk of this fight being in England is they might arrest Spence for murdering Brook after the fight. Cause he is going to merk that boy.

I'm sold on both. Both are heavyhanded and skilled. They are my two current favorite fighters. However, I like Gervonta's explosive style a little more.
I wanna see Gervonta fight Mikey and Loma (two of my other favorites) maybe in a year or so.

He's a big talent but I do believe Brook's GREAT timing and particularly that straight right is going to be huge in this fight.

Originally posted by Porter's Dad View PostI don't agree with that. I've studied his last 5 fights before Algieri and he gets touched up more than people realise. Seriously, he got hit clean in nearly all those fights quite a bit, even though he was dominant.

Spence employs hand/arm guards and slight head movement as defense in the past few fights because he knew his opponents wouldn't beat him to the KO.. His team explained that major head movements put your head in a position to be openly hit when ducking/weaving and removes the leverage from your counterpunches.. Spence hasn't shown his entire arsenal because it wasn't needed in his previous fights.. I'm sure if Spence couldn't take a solid punch on the chin and still come forward, Coach Derrick wouldn't employ that defense for Spence..Last edited by CowboyJ; 05-16-2017, 02:32 PM.

Originally posted by SteveM View Postleaving aside that Brit fans are over-hyping Brook and sleeping a great deal on Spence, Brook is better than Minter and Spence, at this point in his career doesn't yet have the track record that Hagler had back then.
But Spence has the potential to be as good as Hagler providing he has a solid chin - jury still out and he will be hit by Brook so lets see how he looks in this.
