    As good as Spence was tonight he admits that the long layoff affected him negatively.

    Fighters need to keep busy in order to stay sharp. It's better for them to fight often and not just get in the ring once or twice a year.

    I hope other fighters and their managers/promoters take note.

      No one can keep him off the top 10 anymore. This victory is one of the best in modern history. Not only did Spence beat a top fighter in his prime, he did it in front of 30,000 people screaming for him to lose, and to top it off, Spence dominated, bullied, and made an elite opponent quit in front of all his fans.
      For me top 5 as I still think Brook is the second best in probably the strongest weight division, Ward Loma Garcia Crawford Spence

        arguably the best 2 welterweights in the world, at worst 2 of the top 3. They both gave it their all.

          Definitely hope they fight everyone at 147 and prove it as I think both beat everyone at that weight.

            I thought it sounded like you were making excuses, my bad

            I would favor Spence over both of those guys

              Same here, haven't seen the fight yet though

              I think maybe he didn't have enough reserves coming down in weight, even with good program, he looked gaunt in the face at weigh in and no fat reserves at all, really dried out

                all good points

                good post !

                  I've said it before. He's made from the McCallum/McClellan/Norris school of boxing. Sound attacker all around, who doesn't mind a little contact.

                  To beat this guy over 12 rounds it'll take a physical beast or some Julian Jackson/Tommy Hearns type of power.
                  I totally agree with you, he beats everybody in the welterweight division either by knockout or unanimous decision. SPENCE VS CANELO SEPTEMBER 2019 IS THE MEGA FIGHT YOU HEARD IT HEAR 1ST

                    No complaints Spence was better and that say's everything you need to know about him. Hard to say as well as I always said Brook was that good.
