Flaws of Spence

[Redd Foxx]

He actually reminds me of GGG in the fact that he doesn't fight very well going backwards. Plus it took him a solid 5 rounds to stop getting hit by a lead right. A fight against Porter would be really interesting to me, though I absolutely hate Porter.

You kinda took the words^. He does resemble GG in the sense that you can hit him, but you're going to do it at a price. Even Algeri was landing on him but you can only play with fire for so long before you get burnt.

I think the main issues I'm seeing are things that resolve with experience. He's got technical skills, ability to adapt, etc. It just taking him rounds to get it figured out. Everyone has that early on. The ones who show the ability to adapt are the ones who shine bright.

Spence just got a ton of valuable experience and will no doubt be stronger from this. To use the old proverb; iron sharpens iron.

He's huge, we'll be at 154 soon. He need to make sure his power carries over..

A big flaw I've seen from him for years now is that he loads up on all of his shots. He needs to be more confident in his punching power and add variety of power to his shots. His style is search and destroy and with a style like that he would benefit from more volume punching, but you can't do that when you load up on each and every shot. He doesn't set up his punches well enough like that.

If it wasn't for his jab doing all of this for him he would get out boxed against top level opponents. It didn't happen this time, but eventually he might run into someone who can shut his jab down and he would be in big trouble.
