    I used to think this would be 50/50 but I felt against Lo Greco he looked real suspect in that 1st round. Once he started letting his hands go he was all good but he was getting tagged with overhand rights and looked generally uncomfortable.

    You can't just go from being a prospect fighting D level to fighting B+ level opp unless you are truly special. If this fight happens next we will find out if Spence is special or not imo.

      I just know that errol's body attack is on point....thurman beats him but if Errol focuses on the body he has a chance.

        That's true but I think we have to see him in there with a berto or something

          Beating Berto will put him right behind Thurman on the rankings, seems like the most logical step for Spence. I definitely don't want Thurman facing Berto.

            Yeah, I don't buy all the hype with Spence.

            Doesnt move his head enough, squares up too much, doesn't do enough with his jab, stays on the inside but doesn't look to have the elite speed/quickness/reactions to do it without leaving himself very available.

              Spence is probably fighting Leonard Bundu or Jo Jo Dan next.
              John Molina Jr. would be a good opponent. Robert Guerrero maybe?

                I think Spence should go through the gears first.

                    Spence is 25 years old. If he's not ready now, than when will he be ready at 27? Thurman is only 14 months older than Spence, but he's been a pro a few years longer.

                    If I'm Thurman, I except the fight and call his bluff. Take him out right now. See if he really wants it or not.

                      Thurman will probably be fighting a fellow contender next. Losing to Spence will derail all of that and make Thurman easier to avoid. I don't see why he would take such a risk unless no one else is available. If he can't get Brook/Khan/Porter/Alexander/Bradley/Chino, then he should settle for Spence.
