    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.
    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.

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

        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.
        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.

            Thurman took the Lopez fight because he's smaller and he thought he'd be easy to beat. ​ Josesito must not have gotten the memo. Spence stomps a hole in Keith's chest.

              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.

                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.

                  Damn, I almost forgot how good Thurman was, Once Upon a Time. See what I did there?
