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

still a better fight than bud vs avaneysan. LMAO.

wake up clown, Avanesyan would KO Thurman in 6 while Spence goes 12 with Thurman

I told ya. Jaron Boots is low priority to Spence. Heck, he'll probably take either Stanionis or Crawford next a year after this fight. Ennis is wasting time playing waiting games.

He's a low priority to Haymon and Spence, who is eyeing Thurman and Crawford. It's not a sport. It's a business, needless to mention.

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.

Facts!
This Spence/Thurman Non-Title-Above Welter weight Fight makes absolutely no sense
I definitely gotta believe the few guys in the comments last year who were saying that Spence would find it difficult to make 147 in time to fight Terrence Crawford
I wonder what all the Fans than said Bud was ducking Spence saying now?

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.

Smfh "little information"? They're literally telling us what they're planning! Why would they tell us they're close to making a deal only for it to not come to fruition? And if that did happen then that would be another failed talks with Spencer so that would only make him look bad. Man you are just lost. Sad

[Get em up]

So Thurman is in line for his mandatory shot but it's a non title fight? How the **** does this work.

[The tucker]

Above welterweight limit? Lmfao Spencer never had intention of fighting Crawford. This dude is a fvkcing clown. If you didn't see this coming you're a fvkcing idiot

He been saying he was trying to leave 147 but he would stick around for Crawford. So he is going to fight Keith at 154 because there is no reason to fight him at 147.

[Uncle SneakyTouch]

still a better fight than bud vs avaneysan. LMAO.

That's your retort for Spencer ducking Crawford to fight a guy who hasn't had a notable win in years? Sad

[Uncle SneakyTouch]

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

That's fvkcing ******. Who could have predicted the catchweight and no belts? Thurman was the obvious guy Spencer was gonna fight

[Cool story]

He wants to fight Thurman rather than Boots or Ortiz at the moment because of the money, and that's the only way that it can happen. I 'm sure that after the accident, he's not quite on weight either because he couldn't do roadwork for a while, but Thurman has too much to lose to make it in time.

Spence a fraud he not Floyd he not the second the coming of floyd he a fraud

[NC Uppercut]

Now if Keith gets injured, Spence is messed up! IBF will mandate he fight Boots then. Spence don’t want that work imo
