WBC order Spence vs Thurman.

if errol spence vacates, should i be counting that as a duck of thurman or crawford? You mean Al Haymon vacates. Spence can't do anything.

Yawwwnnn Boxing is a mess No one cares about thos fight Keith is the far more intriguing fight...Yall dont know shyt about boxing.... Only Manny beat Keith, and Keith shuldve been stopped ten times over there but kept fighting, Manny is a much massive puncher than Spence. I expect a draw type match

spence the diva vacating. feels good man.

what's the "holdup" on spence announcing a fight?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fv6osqrq0qU This is when Thurman was Thurman, not Keef. The fight is an WeBeCrooks and Haymon joke now and the Bob Arum Rock boxing fans are actually buying into this nonsense. Damn, I almost forgot how good Thurman was, Once Upon a Time. See what I did there? :rolleyes:

He still doesn't like how Thurman never gave him a shot when Errol was coming up. He's also said he doesn't like or respect Keith on a personal level. So therefore, he's not giving Thurman a shot, and he's made that clear numerous times If you don't like someone and you are sure to beat that someone, why not get in the ring and F him up? Maybe he is not so sure of winning. And b4 anyone jumps into any conclusion I think Spence should win.

Porter was landing flush on Spence and Spence kept coming. Ugas was countering beautifully off Spence's initial work and Spence just went violent instead. Keef's got NOTHING for Spence. Nothing. Remember, this is a guy who was almost stopped off a body shot by, and went the full distance with, Josesito Lopez - the same Lopez that Andre Berto stopped in 6. That onslaught you saw in round 7? Spence's decimation of Ugas should clearly tell you that Thurman doesn't survive that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZQ4IqwwCy0 {"alt":"Click image for larger version Name:\tthurmanlopez.jpg Views:\t12 Size:\t202.8 KB ID:\t31623386","data-align":"none","data-attachmentid":"31623386","data-size":"custom","height":"480","title":"thurmanlopez.jpg","width":"480"} Thurman took the Lopez fight because he's smaller and he thought he'd be easy to beat. :lol1:​ Josesito must not have gotten the memo. Spence stomps a hole in Keith's chest.

But you said Thurman vs Spence is better on paper than Spence vs Crawford. This is simply not true, my brother. Did not mean that, I should have been more clear. Bud's upcoming fight with that David dude. There is no bigger fight than Spence/Crawford. Maybe AJ/Fury but there is not other huge fight out there.

The hardcore fans know him and he fought Pac that opens him up to the casuals. Boots or Stainonis won't bring the money that would compare to Thurman. Don't get me wrong I want to see Boots get a shot but the business of boxing is how it goes. We didn't get Spence/Crawford and we are not getting a consolation prize.

They better announce it now and the date shouldn't be far apart from Crawford's fight.

I see where you’re coming from, but I want to know with absolute certainty that Thurman is far passed his peak. He’s a highly skilled, athletic fighter but I’ve seen his ability to absorb punishment reduced in the last few years. I just don’t want to write him off until he’s actually beaten soundly. It would have been good to see him fight a decent step-up opponent before getting in the ring with Spence though. One thing we should remember is that Thurman is a lot craftier, faster and trickier than a guy like Danny Garcia. The only issue is that Thurman appears to be more fragile than Danny, now days. You make some fair points, but honestly, I don't want to see Spence waste a fight on Thurman, Id much rather Keith fight one of the young lions and be a gatekeeper to prove he is worthy of a title shot, as it is Thurman is just riding his name he just hasn't been impressive at all in the ring, I mean a LW took out his last opponent.

Really? How you figure? Thurman has been semi-retired for years and lost to old man Pacquiao. Spence sends Once Upon a Time back into retirement for good.

Frankly - I think Spence does to Keef what he did to Ocampo. Keef's #.1 weakness is the body shot. The story of the fight writes itself. The body shot - That’s definitely the worry for Thurman. Keith has responded to body shots in a troubling manner in at least 3 previous fights. On the other hand, he survived all of those troubling moments and won those fights. Spence is a good body puncher, so that could spell trouble. On the other hand don’t be shocked if Thurman hurts Spence. It’s very possible, especially in the first half of the fight.

If I were Errol Id tell KT to go fck himself, he doesn't deserve a shot he has done nothing in years and is looking for a payday, Id do that or offer him peanuts or throw the belt in the bin and Keith can fight Ennis for it, in my eyes Keith has been a sponge and done nothing he doesn't deserve a shot at 3 titles based on his boxing over the last 3 years. I can sort of see your point, but part of me wants to see Spence beat the brakes off Thurman. :lol1:

Spence saying that he would not ever give him shot will create more drama to sell the fight. With the available fighters it appears that Thurman is the match that will sell better. Even with Thurman not fighting frequent this would be a better fight on paper than the Bud fight. Really? How you figure? Thurman has been semi-retired for years and lost to old man Pacquiao.

Unfortunately, everyone on NSB would attack Spence for ducking were he to do that. I wouldn`t. Fuck the belt, if Thurman is the mandatory. Thurman has done like nothing in the last 4 years.
