FLASH QUOTES:

SPENCE:

“This is a tough challenge. If you know Lamont, you know he’s a tough fight but I came to dominate the division and it started with Kell Brook. I’m going to get Lamont Peterson and then I’m going to get the other welterweights that are out there.

“It’s definitely important not just to win the fight, but how I win the fight. I came to dominate the division and I came here to look good. I’m the future of the division and I’m the future of boxing.”

PETERSON:

“I wouldn’t say that Errol isn’t the bigger guy, I just believe that it doesn’t matter. It’s all about boxing skills.

“I think we’ll both make each other look pretty good, but I’m going to win.”

Let’s get it I got Spence by decision

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Easter is due for a brutal KO and I think he gets that.

Spence is going to be in a dog fight where he pulls it out late.

I'm hyped for both fights and I hope they deliver on the action.

 

[patscorpio]

easter is ko'ing fortuna for sure but he better stop fighting small and putting himself in fortuna's range...fortuna is struggle filled but he can punch

spence will prolly win a MD over peterson in a competitive fight

fortuna is a bum but hes prolly going to be a heavy bum since he wont have to do the ibf 2nd weighin..and he can punch which might make him a little dangerous depending on how easter fights him

 

[The axe murderer]

Fortuna Easter will probably be fight of the night. Easter always goes to war
