    Spence doesnt have creativity

    He is kind of like a robot as basic as they come. He just throws txtbook punches without creating opportunities.

    Borrrrring. Dont make me laugh with this boogeyman bullsht. Is this what we call special fighter in 2019?

    Sorry but Spence is not special but he is very good still.

    "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."

    a smart fighter doesn't make things needlessly complex when he can dominate, and i mean dominate, with the basics.

    just because he didn't show you more of his arsenal doesn't mean it isn't there. spence is wise beyond his years and the garcia fight was yet further evidence of that.

    perhaps it is boring to you, i can't argue with a subjective opinion. to me dominating someone like that with the basics shows true mastery of his craft, and there is a degree of artistry in that which is simply beautiful.

    spence vs crawford will be one of the all time best WW matchups.

        We won't know enough of about Spence until an opponent can push him to his limit. He hasn't had to go up a gear and get creative. When he fights an elite boxer we will see what he can do. Until then he just needs to keep handling his opponents decisively. #1Assassin hit the nail on its head.

            I honestly saw a different Spence last night. Sublime skills and movement. I'm in awe with Spence's boxing skills. It's still sinking in. He didn't look too powerful. Maybe because he's sucking down to 147. Last night, his boxing skills were on display. It was a marvel to watch. Thank you.

              Lets be real here he dominated because of a big size advantage not because of his basics. Lets see if he can bully a big strong welter like thurman or porter with the "basics"

                Spence didn't come to brawl, he came to box. Throughout the promotion he and his trainer kept telling everyone that skills will win the fight, not size and power, and they did just that.

                Doing what you said you would do, and doing it so perfectly (winning every round) is just incredible to me.

                  Mikey would still beat the hell out of Porter. Thurman would go a little different. I'd give Mikey a chance.

                    Porter confirmed he's nothing special in his last fight. That was an awful fight.
