Comments Thread For: Spence-Thurman Nearly Finalized, Conditionally Approved To Take Place Above Welterweight Limit

[Tag, You're Hit]

I don't think anybody saw this coming.

For all the people saying they're fighting above 147 because of Keith, y'all are crazy. Spence is PBC's golden child. Keith doesn't have clout anymore. My guess is Keith accepted the terms because he wants that cheddar and because neither he nor Spence are disciplined enough outside of the ring with their weight, so it makes sense for him, too.

I've been a Thurman fan for a long time, but this move here is making me think some of the haters are correct about a cash-out type of thing. This doesn't make sense. But, like Roadblock said, I'd like to get some more info on this before I get too bent.

You know who is disciplined year round? That's right, Terence Bud Crawford.

Anybody with 2 brain cells saw this coming. You'd have to be an idiot not to.
which apparently alot of people here are

Run time grab and hold Thurman will make this a 12rd snoozer. Keith always fights to go the distance against top competition.

[Plick647]

so hes forgoing THREE #1 contenders, some waiting for years; to fight OneTime, for no belts...
Privileged much?
in that light, i hope this clown gets KTFO by One Time...
Keep drinking, Spence. it does your body great!

I only read up to, "none of Spence’s three titles will be at stake as the bout is due to take place above the welterweight limit.", and I could not read anymore.

I always thought of Thurman as a smart guy, and I still think that he is a smart guy...but now I also think that he is a 'sell-out'.

What would the point be for a Spence vs. Thurman bout, if none of the titles are on the line, and it will not even be fought at the welter weight limit?

Well, take the money and run 'One-Time', and I would bet that it is some 'serious' serious coinage.

If you are with PBC, and running on their side of the street, I 'THINK' that one better have some serious leverage or, be run over, or off the road.

There will be no Spence vs. Crawford bout.

And, I would not be surprised to one day learn that 'One-Time' took a dive, this time for the money in furtherance of the PBC, Crawford Spence agenda. .

Just one fed up boxing fan's opinion.

Makes me wonder about Stanoisis injury now... I hope the WBA makes Stan the full champ but I smell something fishy.

Also, watch all the deflecting Mexican hate threads pour in on NSB and YouTube now.

Spence just doesn’t want to risk losing those belts. That’s all it is. If Keef were to beat him and get the belts, it’s over for The Big Fish! He isn’t doing it outta spite like some may want to believe. He wants that undisputed guarantee! Win or lose

[Combat Talk Radio]

This sounds weird as hell. Spence said he’d never fight Keith now they might fight and above welter? And for no belts? How u got 3 belts and ur fighting but jot defending them? Smh

He wants to unify. Fighting Keef for the belts means Keef gets a higher payday.

Spence is c*ck blocking.

So you saw it? Did you comment it before. I would bet no. Everyone knew Thurman might be likely next. No one here has ever commented they thought it would be for 0 titles and at 154

[Roadblock]

Bro, the facts are right there! He didn't wanna fight Crawford and now fighting a guy he swore he'd never fight at a catchweight and your still defending him. Absolutely ridiculous. Look in the mirror. Clown with no makeup

Your perceived facts are interpretations and not facts at all, youre hate-driven and so have a distorted view of anything opposing your Tonka truck.

I cant make a judgement on what little information we get served on a spoon, I call it the Laundromat syndrome.
