    Yea, I kept harping on that before the fight, where did people get the idea that Brook was powerful? Because he's big? Brook fights really tall and stiff and loses out on leg power (which is too bad since he's walking on tree trunks). Spence, the opposite, he gets coiled up like a cobra, pushes with his legs and really turns his hips and shoulders into his punches. I don't even think Spence is particularly strong, he just has a technique that sends a lot of power home.

    Anyhow, that's off subject but i couldn't resist that tangent.
    I understand man. Had brook had better footwork, he coulda made it through 12. Im guessing those tree trunk legs as you mentioned didnt help him in this 1. That pivoting off the punch works on guys like shawn porter that like to bury their head against your chest and wail away but on a guy like spence that leaves you turning into body shots.

    If Thurman can withstand a few flush body shots, he has the power and legs to win a UD imo. Thurman uses lateral movement VERY well to set up punches.

        I prefer Mayweather: the 1996 - 2006 version.
