....and so it begins
:lol1:
Didn't you learn ANYTHING from the fight you just watched????
Experience isn't a force-field...it won't keep Spence off those ribs.
Thurman couldn't even handles Luis Collazo's body attack.
did you miss the second part of the sentence you bolded? spence has the tools to beat thurman, but i just don't think he is ready yet. thurman has the speed advantage even if you call the power even. should be a great fight, and i hope boxing delivers another one!
Thurman may go with the same strategy against Spence like he did against Porter and Garcia...however if he gets caught in the ropes this time he's toast. Spence will be more accurate with his attack than Porter and be more aggressive against Garcia.
Thurman has three options come October-November: Porter rematch, Peterson, or Spence. The demand will be Thurman-Spence but don't be surprised if Thurman chooses another route.
The Keith "1 Time" Thurman Jr vs Errol "The Thruth" Spence Jr WBC/WBA/IBF Unification fight is not up to either guy to make it happen.
It's all up to Al Haymon. I don't see this fight happening right away but it will def happen in the very near future. I see Errol getting in at least 2 more Ws before stepping in with Thurman. Again, it's Haymon the one calling the shots, not them, sht, if it was up to the fighters they would probably agree to fight next saturday...
Thurman/Spence is the best possible matchup that can be made in boxing right now. Two Undefeated 147 champions in their prime looking to unify an historic division.
Both are highly skilled. I see everyone here on their feelings, bashing Thurman but the Florida kid is good and at this moment has far more experience than Errol. I still have Spence slightly the favorite but i wouldn't count 1 Time out. I believe this is a 50/50 fight.
Fellas, stop getting your panties in a bunch and just trust the process. Enjoy the fights as they come and watch the rise of the new kings!
PS I expect Spence Jr to fight for the RING belt very soon since Oscar seems to like the kid a lot. Thurman/Spence should be for the WBA, WBC, IBF & RING titles. Fck the top rank belt.
Just watched the replay of the fight. Gotta admit...I thought Spence was gonna get exposed. Looks like the hype was justified! I want to see Thurman vs. Spence next. I give the slight edge to Thurman because of experience, but Spence is a stylistic problem for him. Can't wait!
This fight can't realistically happen until 2018 but I'll go with Spence when it does. I like Thurman's willingness to acknowledge and challenge the other top guys.
You said the same thing about Brook and we see where that got you.
I was only joking about Brook. I had no real opinion on that fight, didn't even vote.
This would be a good fight. I think Thurman would win some early rounds. But Spence would keep pressing and work the body.
A bad habit of going to the ropes on Thurman's part is heaven for Spence.
I see Spence eventually wearing Thurman out and knocking him out in the late rounds.
Me or Roman Reigns would beat you up in a real fight. You are a manlet. I am a big boy.
You're a boy alright. Some day you will learn the difference between a man and a boy. Until then, learn a thing or two about boxing.

I can see Spence stopping Thurman late or winning by UD and also making it look easy...
Runtime's dominance at 147 would be over after Spence TKO'ed him.
And look what he accomplished after those losses. Sign of a true world class champion.
Meanwhile, you are a fan of a fake sport, and a Roman Reigns fan of all things. Lmao!
Me or Roman Reigns would beat you up in a real fight. You are a manlet. I am a big boy.
He's still not good at fighting on the inside. Spence might be the best inside fighter in boxing. Spence is a terrible matchup for Thurman.
Thurman is good at bouncing around and jumping in and out. IDK who wins this fight to be honest
Thurman is a different fighter now
He's still not good at fighting on the inside. Spence might be the best inside fighter in boxing. Spence is a terrible matchup for Thurman. Thurman had a close fight with Porter and Spence won't smother his own offense like Porter did
