I think Spence, unlike Hurd's previous opponents, can hurt him. That would be the difference for me. Hurd gets by on size and resilience, but Spence has a solid combination of strength, ruggedness, as well as solid technique (something Hurd lacks).
I don't think spence can overpower Hurd, but i wouldn't be shocked if he does. If Hurd doesn't cut the weight properly and Spence does his bodywork thing then things can be very difficult for Hurd.
Interesting match up, would Hurd be able to take the shot coming in (after-all he's not exactly the most elusive) and how would Spence handle the pressure of Heard (don't think i've seen Spence fight on the back foot before).
Not really sure how it would go, Hurd is the physically bigger guy and could gradually break down Spence, then again Spence has real power and is used to training with the Charlo's (who arent exactly small).
