    Boots Vs Thurman

    Do you think we'll get this fight if Crawford and Spence sign to fight each other?

    Who you got and why?

    Idk what Thurman has left.

    Idk what Boots has after failing to be aggressive vs Aunt Karen.

    I would defer until the weigh in

        Makes the most sense to set up the next opponent so it should be on the undercard. Which means we ain’t getting it until maybe on the rematch undercard or after.

        Boots by wide UD or late KO.

          Eh unlikely.

          Thurman doesn’t seem hungry for anything but tuneups or big paydays. He’s ranked #1 by the WBC.

          I think he waits to try and get the winner of Spence-Crawford or to fight for a vacant belt. I don’t see Keith getting of the couch to fight Ennis, but then again the clock is running out for him.

            It does make sense but I doubt that it would be on an undercard. Boots Thurman IMO is main event quality. Even better quality than half these PPV's thyeve been putting on. Don't be surprised if it ends up PPV. Not that it would do great or anything but it would be a measuring stick for boots if it does descent numbers and he wins.

            Active Thurman beats the Boots that fought Karen IMO. But I have my doubts that this version could.

              Youre right but I am old enough to remember Roy/Bhop was an undercard fight and when chavez and canelo fought before Mike and Floyd.

              I think Boots would always beat Thurman.

                Yea, it sucks that they don't stack cards like that anymore. I think I heard someone (promoter) say one time that people are paying for the main event so thats why they dont do that anymore.

                Kind of a shtty way to look at things.

                So fck us, right.

                  Thurman thinks he is a star and doubt he wants to be a stepping stone. Barrios was low risk for him but Boots is a high risk fighter with little reward to him other than a beating a ranked contender.
