Spence vs. Ponomarev ordered by IBF

If the fight is made, who wins?

[crusader]

Spence should win handily.

Ponomarev is tenacious but fairly basic, easy to hit, and lacking in pop. Just last year Steve Claggett was busting him up at times, and I see him as another van Heerdan level opponent for Spence.

In that case he will do better to pass the opportunity this time. He is still very young.

[jujigatame]

Kind of a lame fight. Spence should be fighting someone like Peterson, Vasquez, Garcia, or maybe Guerrero at the very worst. Ponomarev is tough and scrappy but Spence is a HUGE step up for him and he does not have the skills to hang.

[SaadOffTheDeck]

That's who he wants to fight, at least this one will make him Brook's next mandatory.

[diddy]

Epic mismatch. I advise Ponomarev to pass.

[jujigatame]

They should just do Spence/Peterson. Peterson has been sitting around for 6 months without a fight and has nothing compelling on the horizon, they're both Haymon guys, and it would be a stiff test for Spence against a highly skilled guy without huge power.

[ClivePatrickLyons]

Spence will win with a leg in the air so in other words Spence will piss it in and that spells bad news for Brook.
