I can see Spence losing this fight pretty easily. He had a helluva time getting passed Crawford's jab (best fighter in the world with an educated jab) & now he's gonna face a 6'5 guy that showed he can fight behind his own long jab if necessary. This could be a lopsided fight if Fundora doesn't get clipped but we'll have to see if Spence's power even translates to 54 & what he has left

And let me add he's fighting another southpaw where Spence has shown he gets hit with even more clean shots

spence gets hit with those counter jabs from a southpaw because he'll jab his way in, but he can't parry the counter jab with his left hand, because he cant throw his sweeping left hand to the body without dropping his left hand to his hip first. he can't throw a left hand to the body from his cheek. he always has to drop his left hand to his hip first. thats also how you can tell he wants to go to your body: his left hand will drop.

It doesn't matter. Spence had those 2 car accidents & a career altering beating from Crawford. He was never a defensive wizard & has been in some wars plus, when you factor all those things in with his age, it's not looking good for him. I'm not saying he can't win, but the odds aren't looking good for him

Forrest vs Mayorga & Hearns vs Barkley come immediately to mind

What do ya'll think of Richard Torrez's potential as a heavyweight contender?

Think he would be best at bridger(but no prestige) or Crusier (prob too big a cut) but who knows in a post Fury/Usyk/AJ world

Still think Burton/Augustus won this fight & should've got the nod

Augustus had decent pop but not enough for someone like ward so he had to throw in that fight
