Comments Thread For: Spence: I'm Looking To Stop Porter, I Want To Clear Out 147!

[slimPickings]

Spence is way overrated, he struggled with a much smaller Garcia, hopefully Porter shocks him and beats him.

"struggled"?!?!

The much smaller man CALLED Spence out saying he "saw something"!!

Spence obligated with a nice a$$ whipping!!

Haters will hate.

Mikey got washed 12 rounds to 0, 120-108 or 120-107 for Spence. That was easy work. Mikey knew he had no chance and wanted to just survive the full 12 and we'll see if he didn't **** up his career by doing that because that was one hell of a one sided beating he took.

I'm not really expecting Spence to get the knockout against Porter because Porter is pretty damn tough himself so I'd give Spence his props if he can get it done. Spence will have to land a lot of precise timed chin shots and body/head combinations to get Porter out of there. It's possible but I respect Porter's toughness.

Yes KO is now the name of the game no more going the distance to be recognized Spence, Crawford and midget Pacman who has now finally grown into the welterweight class at age 40.

Spence has become a lightning rod, hasn't he? It seems there are two camps on him:

He is the best at 147, and most likely could move up and eat up 154 as well. or:

Spence is overrated, everyone is giving him too much credit for the Kell Brook win as Brook never recovered from the Trip G debacle, and he could not even hurt a much smaller Garcia.

This is the fight we find out. Porter is for real and has to get a win here. 0-3 against Spence, Thurman, and Brook will put him squarely in the "good, not great" territory. A win over Spence erases those other two close losses and he is a big money guy at 147. He has to go for broke. Spence will need to earn this one, and a victory here will silence that second group quite a bit. If he gets the KO? Wow. He will truly be elevated in most fans eyes, even those of us who believe he is the real deal. This is a big fight.

Spence is a natural MW but preferred to fight in the WW division because there are still midgets who want a piece of him. Why risk himself in the bigger division when he don't have to sweat it out in the welterweight? Hopkins mastered it until finally moving to MW and LHW.

[v.cassiusali@ya]

When will Spence challenge himself and fight Crawford?

Spence is not fighting Crawford because it give him some degree of risk. I will not be surprised if Spence will be fighting robert guerrero or bambam rios next.

... My guess is that if there is someone who may stop Porter, well, that is Spence -- with methodical deep body shots...

Stfu Spence. You couldn’t even stop Mikey Garcia who’s 40 lbs. lighter than you and 5 inches shorter.
GTFOH.
Porter with the upset on this buffoon.
And then Crawford vs. Spence gonna end up like Wilder vs AJ.
No more hype when the fraud gets exposed.

What fight were you watching?! He didn't knock him out but he beat him up and won every single round. ZERO struggle, very easy win and we saw a different side of Spence when he showcased his boxing skills vs the pure power we were used to seeing. You're equating him not knocking Garcia out to him struggling, which is completely inaccurate.
I do want him to finally fight Crawford but I'm afraid he's waiting for that fight to marinate even more, which sucks for us fans.

It was the exact same Spence that has showed up plenty, only casual’s haven’t noticed, he fought the same way vs peterson and vs bundu, the plan was also to box cruz. It’s how spence fights, he goes after guys after having dismantled them or after realizing he’s getting outboxed, which he was vs Brook and damn lo Greco. Difference is those guys are still levels below a fat midget garcia.

Anyway, anything can happen in this fight.

With the way Spence keeps on talking right now, I think he's just raising the bar for himself. Hope he doesn't disappoint the fans though and he walks the talk
