Showtime: Errol Spence Jr. vs. Lamont Peterson & Robert Easter Jr. vs. Javier Fortuna RBR.

What a worthless night. **** Anthony Peterson.

And Spence is getting way too much hype. Starting to **** me off. Errol "I sparred Mayweather" Spence Jr.
Hes really good at what he does, but he only does a couple of thing. The so called "one trick pony".
Cant wait to see him move up or for Thurman to grow some balls.

 

With Brook, it wasn't just the fact he had the eye injury against GGG.....

It wasn't just the fact he had been weight draining for years.....

It wasn't just the fact he had to come down from 2 weight classes higher.....


It was all of the above which led to Brook being unable to compete at the same level.

 

Who's on that resume?? I cant name an opponent besides Porter or GGG.

Brook has the best win between the two (Porter) but in only 23 fights Spence already has a better resume. Sorry but he walked the brit down and cracked him. There a level (or two or three) between Spence and Brook.

 

Spence by a huge margin over Thurman? Nah. That fight would be close in the odds, but given Thurmans track record in championship fights against better competition, I have to favor him slightly over Spence at this time.. But its close to a 50/50 fight obviously.

 

Spence looked great, Lamont's style is to walk and pressure and that just wont work
against a bigger stronger guy. Nothing I've seen from Spence tells me he beats Thurman.
Every time he fights I'm convinced Keith stops him. Keith hits people differently, he hits hard, fast and at different
angles where you can't see the shots, he hits hard even going backwards, it's Roy-esque.

It's funny that people are calling him scared, Keith had the hardest road to the title out
of every titlist, he never avoided any style of fighter. There's a reason that every single
WW is calling him out, everyone realizes he's the legitimate class of the division, funny
guys on here don't realize it.

 

@CST80 - How do you see your boy Horn coping with Spence?

 

I don’t get how you can’t not like someone like Spence. Pretty down to earth, he is aware of his flaws and has an exciting style. Also the weight bully argument is asinine, if you can make the weight you can make the weight.

 

Not to me. And this isn't me fanboying either, I give Thurman only a punchers chance to beat Spence. I also have Crawford beating Thurman by a huge margin too.

 

You gotta admit, Cistatey, that's good.

 

Of course he had to weight drain!! What, was he gonna fight Canelo at 154? We all know how that ends.

 

Again, you're simply talking resume and not comparing the two fighters skill sets.

If a weight drained and injured Brook can go 50/50 with Spence over 6, imagine what a Prime Brook does.....

Erroll Spence = Prime Brook minus Punch selection+footwork.


Brook spent a whole 14 year career draining weight....Spence hasn't even done half that.
