Spence is a problem but I dont think a pressure fighter with no defense will beat danny. If spence start moving his head and setting traps I think he could be top dog at 147. But we won't know until nikkas fight one another. I hope spence does beat keith becuase I think spence is an easier out for danny

I think you underrate Spence's defense

Fighters with his style always gonna get hit a few times but he's no Brandon Rios or not even Lucas Matthysse for the matter as far as his defense goes. His defense is not his strongest part but he also isn't reckless. I doN't think that Danny could handle Spence's pressure

Anyone remember a recent fight (within the last 2 months) of a Black fighter that uses the cross guard defense like George Foreman used to? I wanted to rewatch this fight but can't remember his name. He fought a light skinned Black or Latino looking fighter. The cross guard fighter has a bald head. @Newzz @patscorpio

For 12 rds nah he won't last

He gotta catch him first 6 rds like Khan...or really cause some damage like Matthysse to make it 12

If he don't N not throwing enough punches plus fatigue...hell get hurt

Yeah I agree in that
Danny would need to dish out something serious t Spence to truly have a chance

Funny the same logic nikkas using to say Horn won the fight did not use that same logic when Floyd fought Maidana the 1st time

I thought Floyd scraped past in the 1st fight, and wouldve lost if Maidana had his MXs on:manny:

Canelo-Golovkin: WBC Creating Special Huichol Belt For The Fight

By Miguel Rivera

The World Boxing Council has announced the creation of the "Adolfo Lopez Mateos" commemorative belt, which they plan to present as a special prize to the winner of the middleweight showdown between Gennady Golovkin and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.

Canelo challenges Golovkin for the IBF, IBO, WBA, WBC middleweight titles, on September 16th from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

According to the WBC, the belt is being designed and created by the Huichol community.

Canelo (49-1-1, 34 KOs) has stated in several interviews that he doesn't have any intention of facing Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs) for the WBC belt.

In the last year, there has been a lot of animosity between Canelo and the WBC.

When Canelo fought in May, and dominated countryman Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. over twelve rounds, the Mexican star rejected the WBC's request to sanction the fight for a special commemorative belt - which was also created by the Huichol community.

When the WBC staged a special ceremony in Mexico to award this belt to Canelo, the boxer no-showed - but also made it known beforehand that he was never going to accept that title.

The friction first began a year ago, when the sanctioning body ordered him to defend the WBC middleweight title against Golovkin. Canelo, who was on trial at the time in Miami over a contract dispute, had requested more time to make a decision, but the WBC set a date for a purse bid - and Canelo vacated the belt. The WBC would then award the vacant WBC title to Golovkin.

Canelo claims the sanctioning body made statements that claimed he was running scared from Golovkin.

Sulaiman already made it clear that his organization will sanction the fight with Golovkin - and if Canelo wins it will be his decision on whether or not he intends to keep the title.

"I would like to meet with Saul. Boxing is a great sport, I am convinced that there is bad information, issues that have reached the boxer incorrectly and that his feeling [towards us] is not correct," said Sulaimán.

"He is an idol of Mexico, a great boxer and there should not be any kind of distance [between us]. I have really been friends with him for many years, he started the Ring Telmex program , he was a young champion , twice under the WBC. It is clear that there has always been a very close relationship and it is not right to have this distance. The right thing is to have a meeting, clarify things, talk and move forward."

"[The belt] is a matter for the boxer. Golovkin will defend his title, we will sanction the fight and the winner will be the champion of the WBC. And if anyone wants to resign or not accept the title - that decision is beyond [the hands of] our organization. The rules are clear, a boxer can vacate and if that's the case then the title will remain vacant."
