I just watched the Lo Greco fight. That was an impressive 3rd round TKO against a fighter who went 10 rounds with Porter 2 years ago. The kid looks solid. Good fundamentals, footwork, athletic, powerful too. How does he compare to the best i.e. the likes of Crawford or Bradley?
I'm not sold quite yet, but he's decent all around, too soon to tell, also the fact that he stopped Lo Greco when Shawn didn't doesn't mean much, Lo Greco had been off for almost two years and had a fight in March against some journey man and took the fight on 3 days notice, his conditioning probably wasn't the greatest especially facing a technician with the accuracy of Spence.
To me, he doesn't look as impressive as Jose Ramirez. He's solid, though. They should have him fight Sammy Vasquez Jr. Really, prospects NEED to be fighting other prospects. Fights like Najera/Verdejo need to be more regular.
I thought he looked solid and you can see talent and potential there....keep grooming him and get the right fights to gauge his progression he can be a top fighter
Spence looks to have the goods. He can go to the body and mix up his attack. He also has good pop. I'm ready for him to step up in class and take on a guy like Soto Karras or Josesito Lopez next.
I loved the body shots he threw with some mean intentions. The only issue I see for him is that he is managed by Al and he doesn't seem to develop young fighters that great for the moment. I honestly think that Russell and Leo Santa Cruz suffered from the bad match making (too soft opposition lack of exposure to certain styles) and Wilder will be in trouble soon.
Top Rank is oodles better at handling prospects than Gaymon. I also have to give a shout-out to GBP because I love the way they are handling Diego De La Hoya.
I would really like to see that but I already know how it's gon go. Vasquez gets knocked out the same way. He is not on Spence's level at all.
Errol Spence has the makings only time will tell But there is one thing he really does need to do IMMEDIATELY!!! ?? Distance himself from the influence of the Mayweathers They will not be beneficial to him in his career
Time will tell...he is solid but he isn't a prodigy... prodigy's make themselves known by the time they are 25.
