    Like I said EJ’s jab is the best in boxing as well as his body punching.

    My analysis of this is that it could be said both Kovalev and Khan quit or were looking for a way out.

    Khan wouldn't have won more than 2-3 rounds against Floyd. Khan wasn't that good.

    And before you say, "Khan would have forced Floyd to chase after him", that wouldn't have made a difference. Khan can't fight on the backfoot AT ALL. Maidana and Algieri, neither of whom are known for having good or fast footwork, had no trouble catching up to him.

    He won't have to, because Crawford is going to violently KO him, and early. When you're getting your **** knocked loose by Ugas, that should terrify all Spence fans.

    I am not terrified at all. Terence is going to get run over by Spence Jr and he knows it as well, which is why he is being a nightmare in negotiations. If Gamboa and Mean Machine hurt him the regularity with which EJ will hit him and hurt I feel sorry for Bud.

    Not sure where you get the idea that Spence is some kind of a massive puncher, but he's not. Especially when he can't stand and tee off on his opponents relentlessly. Yet speaking of getting rocked, Garcia, Porter, Ugas and Lartey all rocked Spence. You know who Bud usually has the easiest time dealing with? Southpaws, he devours them. Diaz and Indongo barely touched him, and he dismantled them with ease. You know who Spence avoids like the plague? Southpaws. Several beat him in the amateurs and Lartey who badly rocked him was a southpaw. I have no emotional connection to either of these guys, in fact, I prefer Spence's style to Bud's, which means I can approach this match with a clear mind. Spence is getting brutally ****ed up. Now stop deluding yourself.

    Stop being silly Chris no one devours Spence. One thing for sure is my guy EJ is not Diaz or Indongo. Bud is being difficult in the negotiations for a reason probably because the realisation has set in that EJ may be to much man for him. Bud can try and use his athleticism and mobility to throw off EJ but will be shocked that EJ’s supreme fundamental skills are getting to him then he will gamble and get clocked. His switch hitting is a weakness in this match up. I respect Bud and like him a lot but my best advice to him is stay away from the lads from Texas as they are bad for your health.
