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’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.

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.

No.1 punch output of any welterweight in the history of boxing.

He outworks them. His greatest attribute.

Why this fight not at 147 for the belts? I know Spence not afraid of losing and he said he'll never fight Keith, so this must be a high profile stay busy fight for both of them. Spence keeps the belts for Crawford. Keith gets a big payday and back in the limelight with a win

Guess it works out for both of them :manny:

Shawn Porter made a comment I'm actually somewhat starting to agree with in a fight hype interview when they asked him what he thought of them fighting at 154 for no belts, and to paraphrase him he basically said the belts don't matter, all that matters is we have two top level guys who are about to fight and I somewhat agree with it.

Belt collecting/hoarding is actually starting to rob boxing of some really good fights.

yeah this is more of a prize fight grudge match. The pre fight build up is gonna be big and lets be real this is a bigger and better fight to sell to Casuals too.
1. You can do it in ATT stadium
2.Thurman isn't socially awkward like Bud for example and prob got the best mouth in Boxing when it comes to Americans
3.Both gonna talk that shyt (look at how Spence bullied Porter in them pre fight interviews lmfao)

From a Pure ROI perspective this shyt is easy money, which is funny BBL Prime ENT hating on it lmfao
