This feels like Deja vu because this is what most were saying about Spence when I & others mentioned he got hit clean too much back in 2016 & on. It doesn't matter how good a fighter's chin is. No one should be eating clean shots like that every fight; especially an elite fighter. The difference between him & Bud defensively is you can touch Bud up a little but he's not consistently taking big shots every fight like Boots. He also gets hit with the same type of shots which are a looping or sweeping right hands. Also punching with him works & we saw that over the weekend & with Karen

Against a fighter his size with power & especially an elite guy like Bud, there's no way he gets away with that. Boots looks offensively elite when you stand in front of him. We all saw what happened when someone gave him some lateral movement. He looked lost. Bud would turn him & counter punch him all night bro. His IQ is too high
A fighter's chin is going to be good until it's no longer good if you know what I mean. The more punishment that's absorbed will soften them up. If he's taking these punches in the ring and not afraid to, he's probably taking thousands of them in sparring with headgear and 16 oz gloves giving him a false sense of security. Boots is the typical Philly fighters. I hate to say it because I love philly fighters, but they are brainless. They brawl and fight when they don't have to just to prove a point that they are a philly fighter. Zahir Raheem didn't do that and his career suffered for it. You coulnd't get sucker him into a brawl when he's winning a fight. Bhop as well. I've said that Russell Westbrooke is the dumbest most talented NBA player I've ever seen. He's like the Meldrick Taylor of the NBA. There is no reason that Taylor shouldn't have been one of the greatest fighters of his generation and ever, but that dude just loved to fight for no goddamn reason whatsoever

This

Once the nerves of the chin begin to communicate with that off-switch they get to know each other on a first name basis
