People don\u2019t know that because people didn\u2019t see that in the pros.<\/p>\n \u201cHe just chose to use pressure in the pros, but to get where he wants to get, he\u2019s got to go back to being that Errol of the amateurs. The Errol who did a little bit of everything.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was a hell of an amateur fighter who could do a lot of different things, but he just doesn\u2019t choose to do it as a pro.\u201d<\/p>\n Last week, Spence spoke about how much he is enjoying life in camp under new coach Shields, praising the \u201cback to basics\u201d approach.<\/p>\n \u201cCamp has been great.

So much better than he ever was.<\/p>\n \u201cHis body is well-rested. He feels really good.
