When Spence fights a fighter who is not damaged it will show. Thurman will knock him out, and probably Porter............Spence is looking for a fight in Texas with Garcia next....................
Spence performance against Brook did really nothing but tick boxes for me. My only concern with Spence is that planted front foot. He plants it, launches his attack, ends his attack and stays lent on that front foot just a little too long and a little too heavily it sorta renders him static. Not that i can think of a current Welterweight that can take adavantage of it. Brook did a little but obviously not enough cuz he lost. His power, stamina, accuracy are all of a real high quality. I think what impressed me the most about Spence and his corner team is they were ready for and had an answer for everyting Brook did that troubled them. Every success the Brit seemed to have was considered and worked on between rounds in Spence corner. These guys have the brains and the tools to adapt in Spence. I am a fan no dout about it, Him and Crawford are without doubt the 2 best Boxers America have got right now and they are serious elite quality.
Spencer was getting battered before Kells injury. He was going and would have gone about the 9th or 10th. Nothing to do with his stamina though. American athletes have excellent 'programmes' to ensure their stamina is always looked after...
I thought he was gassing around the 4th-5th, where Brook was starting to turn it on, but re-watching it Brook buzzed him with a few good shots and he may of just been trying to recuperate, because he came on very strong afterwards.
Spence needs another trainer, he could do well to hook up with Danny Jacobs trainer, andre is a very inteeligent guy & schools his fighters very well indeed! Spence IMO has all the attributes needed but to be quality,which at the moment he is not, he needs a better trainer. A good fighter does not make a good trainer or SRL, Tommy Hearns, Mike Tyson would be there. Just a thought ,imagine Marvellous Marvin as a trainer...he would be epic !
