Comments Thread For: Errol Spence Aims To Punish: I'll Be Trying To Destroy Kell Brook

[Butch.McRae]

Don't just cherry pick parts of a conversation. You're missing the point of what was being talked about. I was replying to comments relating to speed vs timing. Every nation has variety in it's styles, but yeah, actually, the US does favour athleticism over most other qualities. That goes for all sports not just boxing. I'm not surprised though... it's very TV friendly and y'all have short attention spans.

A guy who's fought one quality opponent (in a competitive fight) has poise? Unless you want to add in Carson Jones...Smh

Lol we'll see what happens in a few weeks. But don't be surprised when it looks like Pac v. Cotto and not Calzaghe v. Jones.

Not as much variety as the U.S. has produced historically.

Were Joe Louis and Joe Frazier and James Toney super athletic? How about Andre Ward or Mikey Garcia?

Did Floyd won all his fights mostly due to athleticism or due to skill?

You're trying to paint with too broad of a brush.

Poise has little to do with quality or quantity of opponents. It's innate.

Not as many people as the US. The two go hand in hand.

I think Brook wins as well. Spence is pretty unproven and arrogant for a guy who's best win is against Algieri

aha ive just put a bet on with someone today for the fight.

The US style is all about athletic dynamism. It looks great but you get confused and think that’s the only quality that counts.

Speed is a component of any physical activity but timing is not really about speed. It’s more about poise: balance, patience, accuracy & composure under pressure. It’s Kell’s main strength.

I know you don’t get it yet, but your boy Spence will understand soon enough.

Spence has sublime timing, balance, and punch variation. They say "he has no head movement!" but you have to wonder why he never gets hit cleanly. It's because he has PROPER PUNCH TECHNIQUE. He always bring his hands back to the proper position after he punches and he never...EVER admires his work. He lands his shots then makes some sort of defensive move afterwards. Superior technique is the reason he will beat Brook.

Yea, I criticized his head movement until I started studying him a bit and realized he's just extremely aware of distance and his opponent's posture (if he's able to strike). That's a quality you usually only see in the elite. Even Pacquiao, who seems like he neglects head movement, is just very aware of when he's in the strike zone and will often just move himself slightly to attain a safer position.
