Guess Spence a made man now
When you beat the boogeyman that was supposed to give you your first L because "zyx" and you stop him in brutal fashion. It's always "bbbut he won't be able to do the same with blah blah blah." not even a week later
Personally I don't think any of the current crop of welters beat him.
too big, too good, to much of a varied offense. I think the interesting match ups lie at 154 but fukk it let him run through 147 and unify I will be betting on him every time.
I thought he was hurt too, but fought fire with fire. Both times he immediately returned heavy shots which kindve masked him being hurt

Depends on where you thought he was hurt fammo. I thought he was hurt at the end of the 6th & end of the 8th. When Spence came out in the 7th he fought almost exclusively off the back foot which made me think he was definitely hurt. That round he took control of the fight so yeah I agree with you. He had a good round 9 too.

spence can be hit by counters. but he is not easy to counter. when brook was trying to come over spence jabs with check hooks he was coming under those check hooks and going to the body. brook countered spence with a few check hooks. but he got hit to the body a lot trying to counter spence with check hooks too.
the kind of check hook to throw for spence is to throw a check hook and turn.
you want to turn spence. but danny doesnt turn guys.
spence is going play into some of his strengths. but so is garcia. its never so cut and dry.

He did a great job of scout that right hook although it wasn't coming together until the middle rounds. He would duck under but didn't add the counter till after Brook slowed down a bit. Good stuff. Personally I don't think he takes any Ls with the current crop of 147lbs maybe at 154 because his size won't be as much of a factor and there are some savages at that weight.

Brook's corner failed him. When Spence made a couple of minor adjustments they had no answer for them. Brook on several occasions feinted Spence out of position & landed a good shot. Why he didn't feint more is beyond me.

Appreciate the video and timestamp. But it's still a false equivalency. Chino campaigned at 135 and 140 like Broner....GGG has never campaigned at 147 like Spence. Chino was never considered the best at 147 or the division's hardest puncher....GGG just had a streak of 20 knock outs broken. It just sounds like buddy trying to give Broner extra credit for getting his ass whooped.

You're missing the point breh,i'm saying if Spence made the mistakes that allowed him to get hit in the face by lead rights,often (like brook hit him with) by a bigger stronger puncher,he'd probably got stopped or badly hurt.
Didnt have to be ggg,could be lemeuix, etc.
We cant give a pass to blatant strategy/skill mishaps,just cause his body held up to the blows.
It's boxing, bro. Everybody gets hit. Part of the deal is whether or not you can take it. I'm sure if a "bigger" puncher would've hit Floyd like Shane did, he would've lost too. Don't take away credit for him having a beard that can support his seek and destroy style. He was willing to take the price of getting hit by Brook to achieve his goal. He'll never be a back foot counter puncher. That's part of the deal you get with a fighter like him. Especially fighting the best counter puncher in the division. Nobody else in that division will be able to counter him like Brook did and he really only had 4 total rounds of success doing it before getting broke down.
