I’ve been saying Spence has a much deeper tool set than he’s shown. People talk about him taking big shots but that only happens when he knows he can take a boxer’s power and goes ultra aggressive. He tailors his gameplan to his opponent. He also has that dog in him where he wants to dominant and not coast to a win. He has insane recovery time and usually gets more aggressive after getting caught just to prove a point.Spence's style doesn't make sense to people if you don't understand how he came up in boxing. Spence started boxing and training in a Mexican gym(Vivero boxing gym). That's why he fights the way he does, it's a hybrid style he uses good boxing fundamentals but mixes it up with the pressure and jab of a Mexican pressure fighter. That's why people think he isn't a good boxer because most black fighters aint gonna fight you like that it looks out of place for him to be fighting that way.
It is a very fan friendly style that he CHOOSES to use instead of a more fluid slick style which he does have in his arsenal. Porter even admitted Spence could have sat back and boxed him and kept him on the end of his jab, but that would have been a very boring fukking fight and they both knew it. Lol
I truly believe he was on his way to superstardom with the momentum he was building before the accident. Then he had another chance before the Manny fight got canceled.
