    Don't be surprised if Peterson pulls it off tomorrow

    Spence Jr is a solid fighter. Good power, decent hand speed.... That's it! He's flat footed and slow to set his feet to punch. He was getting beat to the punch easy by the kid from England. Only reason y he won is to his credit he knew he was losing and went balls out and came forward just throwing punches. Peterson has good power and decent speed as well, I can see Peterson beating up on Spence Jr no doubt. Bring it on Spence fanboys

    I don't doubt Peterson either he is very tough and rugged and will meet Spence in the middle of the ring BUT I think Spence will out dog him only because I think he holds the power advantage.

      judging by petersons preflight talk hes gonna engage spence in a dog fight which is bad news for him. or maybe its mind games. spence expects a war and pete comes out jabbing and dancing. I wanna see how effective spence is at cutting the ring against a slick boxer with decent pop.

      but I still think spence beats the dog sht outta peterson. a loss will put his goals and dream on hold. spence seems like one hungry determined throwback mofo. he beat brook off heart and hunger. he wanted it more.

        I don’t see it. Peterson’s one of my favorites but he’s not an exceptional fighter.


        He not very effective moving backwards. His only chance to win is to fight toe to toe but I expect the bigger and more solid fighter to win on the inside.

          Looking forward to this one.

          I think Spence is the real deal but don't think he fought anywhere near the best Brook. Not to discredit his performance, any win over Brook is good but getting back down to 147 killed Brook, as well as the pasting he got from GGG.

          That said, their fight for the first 6-7 rounds was close and both fighters showed their levels. I still think it would have taken a very good fighter to make Brook feel the effects of dropping the weight and his previous loss and Spence could do that, that's why i think he is the real deal.

          I'm interest in seeing how he deals with Peterson. I expect a Spence win for sure.

            He couldn't even beat Victor Ortiz or Felix Diaz ffs

            He's a good fighter but frankly he ain't beating anybody at the top just like he never at 140.

              I'd be shocked if Spence lost. No way...

                  If Lamont will use the uppercut and be tight defensively, he can win this fight. If he’ll use some lateral movement and jab effectively, he has the heart and stamina to do so. EJ could also drop him silly, but I don’t think so for some reason

                    And to be honest, Ortiz win that fight.

                    Peterson came on strong at the end but Ortiz won for me.
