I'm not sure though if Spence can score a knockout victory here, if he will ever win this fight, I think it will be a decision win for him and Fundora is very tough specially with how he showed in the Tim Tszyu fight.

Prior to him becoming a champion, if I'm not mistaken, he was in the top 5, and against Mendoza, he was leading in the judges scorecard, all 3 of them have Fundora by 4 or 5 points. Until Mendoza caught him with that huge punch that's why he was knockout. But if not for that, I think he could have won that fight.

But that one knockout loss by Fundora is a reference to all the fighters that want to beat him, I'm sure Spence watched and will continue to watch to spot Fundora's weakness and try to create a similar situation where he was knocked down.

The strategy that I can think of is Spence will try to get the match as close as possible so he can get his left hook he will go toe to toe here because as long as he is close to Fundora, Fundora has no advantage over him.

When you have that height advantage the body is an easy target if Spence worked on the body he would have a good opening in the face, Spence needs to win this fight and I'm sure he is so serious about his training because another defeat could be the end of his career.

Of course, everyone has a strategy fighting a taller guy like hitting their body. But I think Fundora has really adjusted very well and knows that will be the case for him and that knockout lost against Mendoza really open his eye on how to play defense while throwing at the same time.

And he being a champion, I think there is some bragging rights that in his mind, he is tough and that even Spence is not going to beat him in this fight. And that's why it will be another hard grinding fight for him like in the Tszyu fight and chances for Spence might be good if he can cover in the first part of the fight and then pour points in the second half for a win in the scorecard.
