He would spend a lot of time in his fights being inactive (the main reason why I would have picked Pavlik over him at 160), but he definitely had some nice highlight reel KOs.


He was sloppy af but he had a lot of raw power. That sloppiness and the inactivity you mentioned is a reason his power didn't seem to carry as he went up.

The scary thing about this is he's doing this against a much faster fighter with quicker hands. I think that's why it was so easy to counter Spence.

That's why I always say a big advantage of being the smaller fighter, is that the fighter moving up has been used to fighters with way more faster hand speed than their new weight class. The bigger fighters they are facing are slower and easier to time

Yeah thats why these fighters bring im smaller guys to spar with. Faster and fight at higher pace. Plus you see skills that you don't usually see at higher weight.
