I'm so proud of J Rock. I knew he had a chance if his chin could hold up, but this was shocking. He pulled it all together and earned this championship win.Comment

No idea why he didn't try his hand at 147. He's a small LMW but has good pop. But I mean if he is more comfortable at LMW then so be it. He could hang with any of the top LMWs. I believe in him and think he can get in the P4P rankings eventually. He's that type of talent.
Spence didn't move down all at once either he fought at 152 then 150 to see how he felt 1st and then 147 the way I see it I think when it comes to natural size, Spence might actually be a bit bigger than Lubin.
That said, I think in the Garcia fight I started to see slight signs of 147 taking it's toll on Spence although he threw a lot of punches I could see it in his reaction time, breathing pattern and power. He didn't seem too fluid against someone who was significantly smaller, so I'm anxious to see how he'll look vs Porter, but it's obvious to me he'll have to move up in the near future. He's 29 now.Comment

I've always thought the same thing about Lubin the fact that he is under age 25 I think that he still or could have at least tried to work himself down to 147 just as Spence did and Spence was over 25 by then.

Porter fight could tell us more though. But one thing going for Spence is it will be a short break from his last fight so he won't have to cut as much weight. Fought March 16, and will be fighting August 3rd so 4.5 months from his last fight opposed to almost nine months from O'campo to Garcia. He's not staying at 147 longer than probably mid 2020 though.Comment

I like Hurd , he's tough and honest but I never thought he was much more than a Margarito boxing wiseComment
