Comments Thread For: Errol Spence vs. Keith Thurman Title Fight Approved By The WBA

[Roadblock]

Yes, I saw him against Barrios, but that comes after a long layoff, which has been his problem of late, and Barrios wanting to fight for his respect after getting dropped by Tank. Hell, Tank could probably drop a lot of guys between 140 and 147. None of them besides probably the top 5 in the division have shown anything to where I would think otherwise. But, Thurman is a special talent, while he may not have looked spectacular after being inactive, there's another level that we've all actually seen him reach, unlike these guys that we're just assuming can get to that level. If he's to fight Spence, he can't come into that fight any other way than at that level, or he's risking permanent damage. Errol will still beat him savagely in the late rounds, but Thurman will put in a valiant effort through 6 or 7 rounds, maybe even have questions in our heads as to who's winning until Spence just breaks him down.

I agree Thurman will go well for few rounds he can box there is no doubt of that, but 3 fights in 5 yrs with multiple surgeries is a very big ask for a modern-day athlete, its been 8mths since the Barrios fight, even that time is getting away, I think Keith has avoided getting into risky fights to get one last big payday shot at a title based of his name, he should have blown Barrios away as he is a good sized WW and there were moments he looked ordinary, I would have rather seen Keith fight an Ortiz or Ennis or a come backing Ugas even Avansyen etc I don't think he deserves a title shot based on his current boxing.

Gonna laugh my ass off if Thurman catches Spence and stops him. Thurman isn't a great but he does have power.

Likely a boring Spence decision.

Whats funny its boxing even a no-hoper has that chance there will always be the guys in the bush waiting to gloat on the rare occasions it happens.

I'll watch any fight at this point. What are the options? Just give me the date. Make this fight happen ASAP.

Spoken like a true boxing fan indeed, make this fight happen

That fight is a pure shi.t.

Spence should throw WBC belt to the garbage and fight Ennis.

He wont fight Ennis as Boots is only known by boxing fans no commercial value just yet but a lot to lose, I think it should be Stantionis he was promised the winner of Ugas Spence and is WBA mandatory.

Same here, I think Thurman still has enough in the tank to be competitive. Unless he just mails it in for a paycheck, I think he gives Spence a good fight.

I would laugh so hard if he beat Spence. Haymon and Co. Would look really ****** if that happened. Assuming Crawford is telling the truth here.

'Keef' Thurmam is better fight than avanesyan Lol...cant argue that

[hitmanjosh]

Nobodies running from Crawford, they all know from past and recent history, he's the fastest running fighter of his era, and he turns corners using these weird ducking motions.

You don't know that to be faust or fact, you have no clout or authority so go sit your a(sS) down and leave my post alone! Fool

Why would he do that dumb ****??? His goal is to be undisputed at 147lbs
