Haha, I thought exactly the same thing when I posted my pick (Spence KO). Khan is a great boxer, but Spence is better in almost every department aside from speed. Spence is all wrong for Khan, and I just can't see him beating him.
This. Khan is actually good to watch, to be fair. He's got skills, he's very fast, a fun fighter. In a division full of featherfists he'd be a monster. But that chin ...
this fight needs to happen, spence always crying no one wants to fight him and now he is fighting Ocampo? who the fook is that? khan will bring money and easy pay day so why not spencer?
I don't see it. Spence is all wrong for him. Timing, power. I think he should chase a broner fight. I think he comfortably beats broner on points, and then see who he can get the biggest payday for after that.
So..The forum has spoken. Spence would be a HUGE favorite. But, I still will bet with my heart take Khan on the upset.
I'm not interested in hearing any of this nonsense about Khan's past loses or his supposedly ''weak chin.'' It's all totally irrelevant because that was Amir Khan, not Amir Khan 2.0 who is no longer weight drained because he's fighting at his right weight and hitting way harder than before now that his right hand has been surgically repaired. Khan 2.0 is a completely different animal than the previous incarnation of himself, as evidenced by the 39 second destruction of Lo Greco last week. If Spence had been out for 2 years and had fought that Lo Greco who'd had a full camp, sparred over 150 rounds and was in the best shape of his life, at best, he would've won on points, if not lost. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/boxi...prevented-him-from-punching-at-full-strength/ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/bo...n-returns-Britain-following-hand-surgery.html https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/boxi...evealing-the-scars-of-extensive-hand-surgery/
PEDerson didn't fight Khan 2.0 who is hitting like a LHW now that his right hand has been surgically repaired, and Spence didn't fight PEDerson he fought Peterson whose testosterone levels were normal not through the roof.
