I think Lamont is gonna try to box and move early and then press the attack later, which isn't a bad strategy at all for him since Spence doesn't have so much experience in long fights and Peterson gets better as the fight goes on, he'll try to survive the first half and maybe win a round or 2 and then put it on Spence late.
Spence should be ready to play the hunter in this fight, he needs to cut off the ring so that he can deliver that body work as early as possible in the fight. If he invests there early then it'll be a rather easy fight for him, but if Peterson's movement gives Spence problems like it gave Danny Garcia problems then it'll probably end in a close decision for the champion. Both are too experienced and both don't have tt 1 punch KO power, they break you down, so I don't expect a stoppage in this fight, maybe after 8,9 round for Spence.

Peterson is a great, and very game fighter. This is a great match up and I'm glad they made it.
I'm taking Spence by TKO inside of 10 rounds. Peterson will be tricky at times but I think Spence will have too much and his punches will start to pile on after the middle rounds.

A big welterweight with power and good fundamental boxing skills.
How is Lamont Peterson(who has shown he can't beat someone at the top level) more of a test than Kell Brook?
Lamont is not a bad fight tho

Decent enough fight on paper. I think Spence wins easily, however. It's a little strange that it's taken him this long to get a fight, I thought he would have built on his big win and aimed to start building his profile as champ as quickly as possible. I hope Spence doesn't end up being one of those fighters that ends up only fighting three times every two years.

But with that said, Peterson's purse will be identical to the $1.2 million Berto got to fight Porter. That's probably the main reason he took the fight.
Spence will fight Garcia or Porter after. Whichever one steps up will be getting the largest purse of their career in exchange for taking the fight.
WW is a pricey division at the top. Similar to MW.
