If Spence gets past Vikas and Zamkovoy/Nolan and makes the SF he'll probably fight Kazakh Sapiyev who is simply too asian and too slick.

Ya I like his style but too bad he's a little too crude to get the win.

 

bad luck to the iraqi had a good go of it. rocked the saffa in the early going

 

I agree that Sapiyev is the favourite should these two meet, but to be fair to Spence, he's a kid and is likely quite a bit better than he was nine months ago. His style is still more suited to the pros though, and I think that fighters with faster hands and/or better timing than the Brazilian will hit him quite a bit.

 

He ain't bad , maybe I was a bit too harsh about him not going nowhere but he has to box more , he got good footwork and he has the reputation of a big puncher ( maybe that's why he looked so anxious on landing a big punch ) but he has to adapt , I think that if he had gone in there relaxed and boxed more he would have gotten the KO or at least a few standing counts on the Brasilian . Peace .

 

Yeah, he rattled him a bit. Can't see the South African going much further.

 

Reminds me of victor Kayo.....he probably needs to work on his conditioning a little bit if he's going to pull this off in the pros.

 

He's shite fanboy , accept it .:deal

 

This venuzalian's left hand is pretty impressive. If he had a good pro trainer he could probably have a good pro career.

 

Onlt 1 person talking shite you dry lunch !

 

yeah looks good. his left hand is well placed his right hand pops out. and he times well.

on he back foot he looks really nice as well. would like to see more of him. maestre?

 

what have i missed

 

Venezuelan Perez looks good. Pretty big too.

 

Maestre is a class or two above here. I don't think too many will be pleased about being drawn against him.

 

damn some great exchanges near the end of that round
