Re: Spence vs Algieri
Spence looks to be a great seek and destroy tactician. Which really seems to be the theme now with fighters like GGG and Kovalev taking over. I don't have both feet on the band wagon just yet as i would like to see him matched up against a dangerous offensive pressure guy to see how well spence fights going backwards. There's a few holes that jumped out at me but i'm not sure if he is being deliberately neglectful because he knows Algieris a pillow puncher and blasting him out in a firefight just looks more impressive.
He's pretty efficient because hes able to fight as his own pace and be economical with his punches, but i've also see him move straight back, throw a glove up while leaving the other low while turning his head away instead of pivoting out because hes relying on being just out of range and wanting to take the opportunity to counter hard. Window of opportunity for a pug with good chin and chucks bombs straight down the middle over the jab.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
