Comments Thread For: Errol Spence Drops, Beats Down Lamont Peterson For TKO Win

You think he’s as successful against guys he can’t physically overwhelm? I made the GGG comparison in another post. Gennady has been less successful against guys he can’t just bulldoze. Jacobs had success against him. And whether you agreed with the decision or not. Canelo was able to stay pretty even with Gennady, even in the second half of the fight when he was pretty spent. Canelo was able to keep GGG off balanced enough to keep the fight close. I think Crawford is too small. But I think a guy like Thurman could keep Spence off balanced. I also think Lara and Andrade could as well.

I think Lara would have the best chance to beat him. Lara's style was the last one to beat Spence.

That could be possible. Looking at it myself briefly, the fights that seemed to make sense and be possible are: Collazo back in NY, probably sells well. The winner of Ugas/Robinson, which might be some kind of eliminator. Or he could fight Omar Figueroa back home in Texas in some kind of Lone Star State showdown.

Doubt that Figueroa Jr wants anything like that in his second full fight at 147, tbh.

If I'm recalling correct, the Ugas/Robinson fight and Ortiz/Alexander fights are both IBF eliminators (I believe for the #2 and #1 ranking).

Figueroa Jr vs Collazo makes sense though

Horn is a joke and respresents everything that’s wrong with the belt crazed era we’re currently in. The guy was totally gifted a belt against a washed up legend. And how he’s legitimized because he has a belt. If there’s no BS belt attatched to that fight. There’s ZERO interest in seeing Horn fight against any current top welterweight.

don't you think that's a bit harsh? I mean a joke? EVERYTHING that is wrong with a belt crazed era? He did beat Manny, hell it was controversial, i had Manny winning but still tip the hat for getting the nod. Crawford will beat him up but he's certainly not holding the belt hostage or anything. The question is WHEN do we get Spence vs Crawford or Thurman?

You were damn close my friend

Story of my life haha

Thurman beats Vargas hopefully fall we get Thurman/Spence.

Then he moves up for Hurd, Charlo, Lara.

Im not even going to pretend Bob Arum lets Crawford fight Spence. Thats a waste of time even dreaming...

Hes the Liam Smith/Lipnets of belt holders. Just keeping it warm.

Lamont the punching bag Peterson is clearly stronger but he can't get off. Don't get me wrong Spence is working him. but damn. If he threw he would actually give himself a chance. especially if Spence punches himself out.

Spence doesn't punch himself out. The guy just doesn't know how to stop throwing punches and the longer the fight goes the more he actually throws.

Stamina of he beast man.

Dude was literally running Peterson down. I've seen dudes been walked down, never saw running down. Spence is scary. Peterson has heart though.

He did the same when he was finishing Algieri. Algieri tried to use movement to save himself but Spence literally ran him down.
