[Roadblock]

Errol 'I'll Never Fight Keef Thurman' Spence lol. Smh.

He is being forced to can't you see that, and he still has not confirmed that he will.

[Bullrider]

Is there a date set on this fight?

[-DSG-]

I don’t get why people aren’t more excited for this.


wish it happened earlier so it would be a fresher, hungrier Thurman but still a damn good fight.

I agree One Time is easily the best opponent of Spences career.

This some BS! I already know as well as everyone else that Spence win against Thurman he will be moving up to Jr. Middleweight seeing that the fight with Crawford didn't materialize, I can't see him hanging around another year in the division but Crawford won't be far behind so you can run but you can't hide, the belts don't matter at this point!

Who give af about the belts at this point? Bud should have no problem meeting Spence at 154 if he really wants the fight.

In name only, his boxing form needs to turn back the clock at least 3 years, the second half I see Keith folding.

I'd rather see Crawford vs Spence, but I'll take my boy Keith vs Spence. Definitely still a great fight. Let's go Team Thurman!

Keef definitely is still a top fighter and deserving of much more respect than he receives on this site. I would say that until they have faced the caliber of competition that Thurman has, and get some of the results that he did against that level of opponents, he is still better than Boots and Ortiz, and I think Boots is a terrific up and coming talent. Now, Spence will break him down as he has the others, but that doesn't mean that those young guys that haven't proven themselves against any top contenders will do the same. Inactivity has ruined the "quick to forget' boxing public of the skills One Time possesses, and his boastful arrogance digs into their heads like a crown of thorns. Keith has power, movement, counters, combinations, ring IQ, sets traps, finishing and technical skills, a quick jab, and as we all know, the utmost confidence in himself against anyone. So, until the newbies are willing to fight the top ten or five of the division, and come out on the better end of most of those fights, they are not deserving of just being automatically labeled as better than Thurman. Put in the work, forget about the assumptions.

Did you see Thurmans last fight against 140 pounder that a 135 pound Tank Davis knocked out, its not the Thurman of old not by a long shot, a b+ 140 pounder should not be able to live with him.

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.

[Rebelrbg]

Stanionis getting ***ed. Forced aside and ordered to fight a guy more dangerous than either champ has faced at 147. Good fight though, hopefully he gets paid well.

Yeah right, who has Ortiz fought that proves that he's so dangerous? All assumptions, he's such a killer, of what, cans and journeymen?

[Rebelrbg]

I feel bad for Stanionis. Ugas fought a bum then gets to fight PAC because the WBA stripped him. Stanionis meanwhile fought Butaev and has to fight Ortiz just to get a chance at Spence. The WBA really had it easy for Ugas. The WBA corruption continues after they said a year ago that they will eliminate all the secondary belts.

They must have felt sympathy for Ugas because of the way he was robbed against Porter.
