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

[Roadblock]

Barrios - at 5' 10" and a solid frame at that (Keith is 5 ' 7") - probably should have been competing at 147 for a couple of years. I suspect he had better punch resistance at 147 than he did at 140 vs Davis. And Tank can CRACK. But, Barrios had more success against him than he did against Keith because Keith has better defense and movement. But, yeah, Thurman from 4 years ago would have stopped him - maybe not in three, though. But, Keith NEEDED the rounds after being out for so long and he was rightfully concerned about how his body (hands/elbow) would react after finally (hopefully) being healed. He even admitted afterward he should have gone after him to close the show.

Don't get it twisted, I know the Keith that fought Barrios is not what he was in 2017 and that he has A LOT to prove to show he can still be that guy. But I saw enough in the fight against Mario that gives me hope he can be what he once was. His injuries were serious. I hope he's 100% now.

Im looking at the reality of the form on the board, you're caught up in wishful thinking of the past, its boxing anything is possible but the odds are that Keith is broken by injuries, surgery and time out, if he were a racehorse he would be at very big odds, that's reality.

I don't think Keith should even get a shot at Spence, I would have rather Ennis or Ortiz being forced onto Spence, it looks to me like Thurman bought his rating.

Errol Spence Jr. is a world-class welterweight boxer who is undefeated in his professional career. He has wins over some of the best welterweights in the world, including Danny Garcia, Kell Brook, and Lamont Peterson. Thurman, on the other hand, has only one loss on his record, which came against Manny Pacquiao in a close fight.
Spence is a bigger, stronger, and more powerful boxer than Thurman. He also has the advantage of being southpaw, which will give Thurman problems. Spence will use his superior skills and power to overwhelm Thurman and score a knockout victory.

They're both saying it though. If you have a source of Crawford saying he's left the table completely and this fight is never happening, post it. I honestly don't think it exists and you're making stuff up.

Here's what we do know.

Crawford said he did "all he could do". Meaning there's apparently nothing left to do or try.

Use your brain.

First of all there's still no guarantee BLK Prime puts on an event. But let's say they do.

You're talking about an obscure, not marketed, app.

ESPN+ struggled to get 125k buys for Crawford / Porter. And that's ESPN.

Tyson and Jones weren't paid their guarantees for the Triller exhibition. Again, obscure app.

What's likely to happen? Crawford don't get paid.

So that's two lawsuits from him. And way less leverage at the negotiating table since there's no way the event draws.


So IF it's true there's "nothing else" he could have done to make the Spence fight (which is BS), what do you think will change?

Produce a link or beat it. You can misinterpret how a guy from the hood talks all day until sundown. Use your brain lol?

Wow. This is a big name fight. Dunno what Thurman's done lately to get this opportunity, but I guess it's interesting to see if Thurman gets stopped or not. I think he will, though.

Two fights since mid 2019...and is VERY susceptible to body shots. There is no way Thurman wins this fight. It's gonna' sell decent because what Thurman's accomplished and because he has only one loss, but let's be honest...Thurman in the present time is strictly a name and he does NOT in the slightest convince anyone that he's as hard as he makes himself out to be.

That is a confident bet I can make on Spence taking this win.

I hope that Thurman knocks him and his dentures out!!!

Yeah, I'm definitely putting hope into my thoughts here because I've been a fan of Keith for a long time. So, I am admittedly divorced a bit from reality. But, I still don't think I'm outside of reality either. Long shot? Probably. But far from just a puncher's chance.

As for Ennis or Ortiz, they're the young lions for sure. But boxing is a business and Spence-Thurman (because Thurman is still a big name and his resume is far greater than Ennis or Ortiz) is going to get Spence paid more. And, in all honestly Ennis and Ortiz are riskier fights than Keith at this point. Though, I would slightly favor Keith over Ortiz this minute.

I preferred Keith to have had another fight before he gets a chance at Spence or Crawford. I mentioned as much after his fight with Barrios. But, boxing is boxing.

...link of what?

Everything I posted is facts straight from this site, that YOU saw. And you STILL ignore it.

That's the textbook definition of a mark. A fanboy who can't look past his own frustration that his fighter let him down.

We're done here, brother.

I've said over and over I'm not fan of Crawford.
