    The question now is where? Sydney, Brisbane or Melbourne?

    Spence is gonna have to box well enough to beat home cooking. Won't be the first time. I mean maybe he's uttely shot and Timmeh will KO him quick.

    That said, Tim Tszyu has been beat down thoroughly twice. Spence has a higher KO % is 2 years younger and has fought far superior competition. Really, the only hope Tszyu has is home cooking or Spence is 10% of what he once was.

    Still should be fun. Maybe the Aussie will have learned not to lead with his chin all the time?

    Pacquaio wasn't robbed vs Horn. Spence will have to be good to win. On the pads he looked terrible not to mention fat.

    I think they did rob him. Aussies are just as guilty of home cooking as anybody else. However, if Spence doesn't make the effort, then ya, he'll get KO'd.

    It is and its really not close at all.
    He's beaten multiple world champions and Tim has a nice resume but name TWO elite boxers he defeated.

    I thought Pac won but that was the last time an international opponent got a bad decision in Australia.

    Spence’s resume is pretty overrated his best wins are against past it opponents.

    Prowler, surely you jest. Spence is 7 and 1 in world title fights, Timmeh is 0 and 3. I would take Spence's resume over Timmeh's every day of the week and twice on sundays

    I reckon Timmy's 3 and 3. Harrison fight although interim still a world title fights imo and it got upgraded to a full world title. He defended it against Ocampo and Fundora.

    Nobody is claiming all time great resume.
    Tim is a world class boxer but he is a notch below the very best it's really that simple.
    Spence operated successfully on the elite level Tim has never done that.
