The 147 pound king and greatest fighter of the WW division Errol Spence was ambitious. He bit off more than people thought he could chew when he fought Kell Brook. Brook was widely regarded as the biggest and strongest WW in the division. With a titanium plate in Brooks surgically repaired right eye socket, we knew Brook's right eye was pretty much unbreakable going into the fight with the Truth. It turned out he would be beaten so bad that his left eye socket would get smashed into oblivion. Spence beat Brook from pillar to post in the second half of the fight and established his dominance over the most experienced and well rounded fighter in the WW division. In doing so he showed he is the king of the welterweight division. Brook had no choice but to bend the knee to King Spence and quit. Now ol Run Time Keith Thurman has purposely gotten surgery on his elbow to prolong a Spence fight until next year. I get the feeling he will be running like he was from a JWW Danny Garcia in his last fight. Ultimately though, he will have to find courage and man up. When he finally fights Spence he will realize there is a reason all the pundits say Spence is the future of the sport even though Thurman has accomplished slightly more (and took way longer to do so). We all know Spence is the superior fighter and will easily win the battle. My question is, will Spence make Thurman quit when he realizes there is nowhere to run and the punches are raining down on him? Will King Spence make Thurman bend the knee!!!?
Thurman need 3 tune ups before Spence?
Yeah I said it. Thurman needs a tune up. Spence is in prime condition and knocks this guy out today. Facts. Probably atleast 3 before he actually steps up to the boogeyman of the division? Thurman is WW Garcia level. You know a couple tiers below where Brook was at. King Spence has sent a raven. Hey Thurman, bend the knee!!!!
Spence would stop this version of Pacman now. Pac couldn't even avoid those telegraph head butts. Errol's hands would give him too many problems He is better off rolling the dice with Crawford. He has a KO chance with the left hand if he's in shape atleast. Spence is too big for him.
I don't think Pacman goes 5 rounds with Spence. Pacman should just retire. He is getting badly bloodied and getting decisions on him by the likes of low level limited contenders like Jeff Horn. He's washed up.
The WBO strap is also being held hostage by a Pacman that's avoiding Spence like a red ghost!

Thurman will bend the knee to King Spence and I love Thurman but Spence is the TRUTH!
THANK GOD THAT BELT HOSTAGE BROOK IS NO LONGER ABLE TO HOLD A BELT HOSTAGE, THANK YOU KING SPENCE.

We can agree to disagree. Btw thank you for the wonderful memory of Martinez v Williams 2 KO. One of the sickest ever! Errol is a talented young man, he is special, but I just think that Thurman can raise the bar higher when they meet. I could be very wrong though. We will eventually get to see. Errol definitely has a will to succeed, a humble attitude, and a serious killer instinct. No lacking there.
I enjoyed the career of PWill. He fought everyone that was willing. Errol has that same mentality. So far Thurman has been able to get the job done every time out. He will definitely have to raise his level and be better than ever before to stand a chance against welterweight King pin Spence. Hopefully this fight comes off. I know Spence wants it. I'd be suprised if Thurman stepped up to the plate and fought this kid in his next fight. If he does though, the coronation will be official.
Are you kidding me NC? Come on you know Spence has better ability RIGHT NOW. The key to this fight is the mental stability. Look at how determined Errol is? I haven't seen this level of determination in a fighter (outside of Crawford) since a young prime Pretty Boy Floyd. Yes Thurman is slightly sharper skills wise right now and will be in the early going of the fight.......... Until Spence learns during the fight what Thurman is doing to him. Then you will see the deciding factor. You will see the difference between these two men. Spence is too determined to get smoked out by Thurman. Thurman can't smoke this kid out of there early even if he is catching him hard. Errol's will is what is going to have him applying constant pressure like he did in the Brook fight. Errol just broke a mans face. A man his own size, who really was physically stronger than him in the early going. This power is not like Thurman's. This is extraordinary power that SomeTime doesn't possess. You see Spence bridge the skill gap as the fight goes on. You saw how big ass Brook was fighting like a beast early and using the experience advantage. Brook didn't used to be a quitter. He had to chance everything once Spence started breaking his body apart. He never imagined himself having to bend the knee and give up the welterweight crown in front of his home fans. Thurman's only chance is to put Errol to sleep Williams-Martinez 2 style. He won't. This kid is too good, too prime. Keith loses this by KO. He is the one that doesn't want it now and needs to be a "business man". Cerebral guys like him can be broken down if they aren't prepared. He needs the time to prepare, not Spence. Spence beats him now and he is the one that has to go train and hope to close the gap. His experience advantage in this fight is highly overrated by some. Those that know what they are seeing and don't need Paulie Malignaggi to tell them what they are seeing already know Spence is the better fighter right now. He knocks out championship fighters. Thurman doesn't even knock out championship contenders. Don't kid yourself bro.

Another man down. Not too long ago Thurman thought he was the boogie man in the division, funny how things change. I fully expect Thurman to do the Rashad Evans "I wanna keep my belt longer." even when he's healthy enough to fight.
Yeah thats right. I just laugh to myself watching old Thurman interviews about KOs for life and how everybody was running from him. He really used to think he was the ****. He doesn't talk like that now that Spence is around. Thurman quit barking and was quickly domesticated mentally. He quit saying he was being avoided after that. He is the Danny Garcia of the welterweight division. I say that because he is that fighter people think is the easy guy to beat. Danny will always be a junior WW in my eyes. Thats Keith's best win. Very sad. He beat a little guy and it took him several years to get to that point. King Spence conquered the real challenge, the man that was on the highest level technically/mentally. He broke that man. Man down or knee down, they can't hang with this kid right now. Nobody can. Maybe Crawford has a shot at victory. Not Danny, not Thurman. Shawn Porter can take this kid the distance, Peterson probably can too. Other than that these over top guys right now get stopped at 47
C'mon man! Keef got this! He has to many angles to his game for Spence, right now. After a few more fights then Spence will have a BETTER chance of beating Keith

No, instead Spence would hit him so hard he'll force him into doing the Stanky leg because he's from Dallas.
Spence cuts off the ring very well and is an excellent inside fighter. One time can run but he cannot hide.
C'mon man! Keef got this! He has to many angles to his game for Spence, right now. After a few more fights then Spence will have a BETTER chance of beating Keith
one time is too slick
He is going to have a hard time being slick with a hungry Spence pressing the fight. If Porter had ring IQ he could have beat Thurman. Spence has the ring IQ, work rate and gritty determination. He dares to be great. Thurman decided to go into business man mode avoiding Errol when he used to act like it was hard to get fights. Spence is already in his head and the self doubt has already set in. Thurman didn't look slick barely squeaking by Porter. Errol isn't a statue like Garcia. He will make it a dog fight even if Run Time is employed.
