Great KO but I'll say this: If Spence doesn't tighten up his D he's gonna get knocked down or KO'ed. Mark my words bruh's. This is the 3rd fight I've seen where he's taken clean shots unnecessarily. Against a slightly above average puncher will get him in trouble.

people only ever seem to remember to ko, but he still needs some development.

Keith Thurman Vs Errol Spence it's destined to happen.

Thurman ain't gonna like that body work at all

 

[Knicksman20]

i peeped this too. plus the fact he couldn't really keep bundu off him until the body shots started taking effect was something concerning.

Exactly. Bundu got worn out from those body shots but he had success in spots & landed some good shots. He just doesn't have any power

Can't they replay footage from the Olympics?

*has flashback of how collazo had him running off a body shot.*

Keith better get this

and this or it's gonna be a long day for him

Brook ain't fighting Spence and he's not coming back to 147. 154 would probably be even tougher fights tho if he wants belts.

As long as Spence's defense is leaky he better stay away from punchers. If they fought tomorrow Thurman puts his lights out.

Spence is the only puncher in the division lmao, nobody else has power like that. Second fighter in a row who's never been stopped and folded like laundry.

thurman isn't a true power puncher, which is why porter slugged with him and wouldn't do so with the likes of Adrien Broner lmao

Bundu had no respect for Thurman's power, Thurman dropped him early with a shot to the temple, that's how thurman scores his KD's, same with robert guerrero, he is an accurate puncher, not a powerful one. If he can't land in that precise spot he's not that dangerous to be honest.

Spence would mow him down, can't see anybody at 147 posing a challenge to him, he's destined for the 154 division, him v.s. canelo the next mega fight.

It's boxing, everybody gets hit

that's like saying Floyd would've got KO'd because Emanuel Augustus hit him with a lot of shots and bloodied his nose.

Bundu is a rugged veteran with a lot of experience, spence did what he was suppose to and send him into retirement in grand fashion, unlike thurman who had a pedestrian performance,

 

[BlackManLiveFromLondon]

Spence defense.. hes gotta improve on that

Keith Whiplash Thurman might not be One Time but the guy is accurate with the shots.. if they were to scrap now I don't think Keith KO's him but he'll definitely drop him

I made a similar post in the Algierri fight thread. Spence is a heat seeking missile and his offense is diverse BUT he is so irresponsible defensively. He gets caught in exchanges and countered quite a bit. He truly is Terry Norris 2.0 minus the bad habits. Unless someone has world class one shot power, he should be ok cause he's just too much to handle offensively for a duration of 12 rounds. If his chin is true, opponents literally will have a 3 round window to catch him before the body work, pace, pressure, diverse offense, and power sets in.

Terry Norris is my second ATG fighter & he reminds he a lot of him. To me the jury is out on his chin though because he hasn't faced anyone that has even slightly above average power.
