Re: Errol Spence Jr vs Lamont Peterson
Errol Spence Jr takes this one easily. I don't think this one goes the distance.
Lamont is a pesky and cunning fighter, who usually comes with the right game plan for the big fights. However, Errol will be too much for him to bite. Errol has plenty of flaws in his boxing, but he manages to capitalize on what other fighters expose while trying to exploit Errol's weaknesses.
Fight will be a stalemate by the first rounds, and Errol will finish Lamont by mid rounds. Lamont will try to counter Errol without success

Re: Errol Spence Jr vs Lamont Peterson
That last part is interesting, when you say "stalemate", do you mean a fight that seems to be in the balance? So you don't think Spence will have taken lead by round 4?, possible, Peterson is awkward, but I think Spence can back him up, use his jab at long range, make Peterson work, and if it becomes a fight, Spence can punch, slug, and bang away to the body. I think Peterson's best shot is to throw in bursts, move out of range, change direction, make Spence walk onto shots, but I think the difference in overall ability to too much for for Peterson to have much success or come close to winning.

Re: Errol Spence Jr vs Lamont Peterson
Fight went as expected. Only thing worth noting in this fight is the lack of improvement on Spence's side. Spence took some hits that he shouldn't have taken, and even Peterson was slipping his punches before Spence started his combinations.
If the unification bout happens between Thurman and Spence, my money is absolutely on One Time.

Re: Errol Spence Jr vs Lamont Peterson
What a performance from Errol Spence!
To dominate Lamont Peterson like that, from start to finish, walk through his punches like they're nothing, sustain such a high pace, land with such power, precision, that was a master class from Spence overall, he dropped the pace just slightly in round 7, took some big whacks, but only because Peterson was not able to challenge him, it is very hard to criticise a fighter who wins every round against a guy as good as Peterson.
Peterson tried his best, but after 6 or 7 rounds, he was there for one reason, because he was too brave, to proud to quit, his trainer did absolutely the right thing, there was no point in sending him out there, the older fighter, the tiring fighter, he wasn't defending himself, he wasn't able to hurt Spence, it was so unlikely he was going to win, and if you rule that out, and decide it is not worth it, and you, in all realism, will not win, what's the point?
I think Spence would beat Thurman, but what a fight that could be, does Thurman want to fight Spence?, I think so, but he will have to be at his best, I think Spence might have the mental edge going into the fight, for a few reasons, but Thurman is a world champion in his own right, it takes two great fighters to make a fight like that.
