Comments Thread For: Errol Spence Drops Porter, Wins Split Decision To Unify Titles

[Bronx2245]

So you want a counter hook guy to become aggressive and be first against the stronger body snatcher Spence? It could work but it puts Danny in a dangerous spot in potential clinches. I don't see it as Danny wasn't aggressive versus Thurman and Porter for a reason.

Don't know that Canelo kills Spence but he definitely wins. In my view, losing to Canelo is a win win. You still get the big check and Spences would be huge with the fight in Dallas.

If they offer him a fight like that (Canelo @ AT&T), he has to take it! That Canelo bag is a life changer! I'd love to see it!

I think with the right nutrition and better in between fights habits Spence can stay at 147 for a few more years. He is 29 so he is starting his 30 year old metabolism slow down, but he is a slender framed guy so I think he can hold off genetics.

I don't know man If we going by the height weight ratio, at close to 5'10 you shouldn't be 147. Yeah Spence is a slender frame guy but he's bigger than both J-rock and Lubin, who are also slender fame guys that fight at 154 full time.

I always remember watching Spence early in his career when he started above 150lbs how he had to work himself down to 147 and that's when he was younger, now he's almost 30. He shouldn't want to overstay his welcome at 147 either the body tends you betray you.

I don't know what he does, but I know he's dropping at least 20 to make 147! That's going to catch up with him sooner or later! I just don't know what Boots can do to get there faster! He's 23-0 w/ 21 KOs, and he's still on these BS fights! I would like to see him fight Josesito Lopez, Sergey Lipinets, or Jamal James early 2020!

Spence isn't a gym rat so he puts on weight in between fights. He has been doing ok with IBF rehydration so I will assume he can keep dropping 15-20 lbs in camp.

Ennis is on the Wilder plan seems like. Fighting amateur level fights as a pro so that he can make money while gaining experience. I see his step up fight happening next summer.

Exactly. That's why you tell the media you want to get in there with him.

Not aggressive in the sense of throwing a million more punches but there are too many times in elite fights where there's an opening for Danny and he doesn't take it for whatever reason, he's admitted to this and TBH I don't see where Spence is stronger than Danny he didn't look that much stronger than Porter imo. Garcia had Thurman running late and Porter moving even more than he did against Spence. Danny always been pretty heavy handed and physically strong.

As for Canelo, I'm sorry he kills Spence. Maybe you guys don't see what I see but I been watching Spence for a looong time. He has ALWAYS been very vulnerable to sharp counter punches since the amateur days and honestly he still fights the same as then. Just learned to pace himself for 12 rds. Book also was doing Spence in with counters early but couldn't keep pace.

The money is at 147 so he will stay unless he wins the Canelo lottery.

I have questions about Spence's stamina at 147 and as time goes on the worse it'll get he's either overtraining a bit in that Texas heat or 147 is starting to slowly takes it's toll on his body, possibly both. He just seems lackadaisical at times and you see that 1000 punch BS went out the window when facing top talent at 147. I don't think he could keep a true Welterweight on the outside for 12 rounds, that's not really he style either he's really more of a come forward up close in your face type fighter like he said himself.

- -Dude, your dim type don't deserve such a high level battle by two warriors who only served to further enhance the Halls of Valhalla with this fight.

The right man won and both enriched personally and financially with this all time great fight. Even Jack Reiss did a good job.

[QueensburyRules]

- -Danny could land a lucky punch, but has yet to show any class over top welts like Spence has.

Probably gets KOed after mostly getting mullered with his hysteric Daddy Rosing the towel.

Boots just F'd up signing the wrong Promotional deal at the end of the day. He would have already been a top welterweight with AL, Spence only has like 3 more fights.

But you know how PBC likes to play it, out of sight out of mind lol

Yeah or until his body betray's him. He was asked the other day by Fighthub If I recall correctly he said 1 more year and during the press conference last night he said he could move up to 154 and fight J-Rock and move up and down.
