        because keith had trouble with him, keith had to swallow his pride from ONE TIME to RUN TIME.

        So he not gonna flat out and put himself in a trap bag but talking otu of turn and saying "errol gonna have a hard time" cause if he does say that and errol doesnt he plays himself so take the safe route and say "intrigued to see how this figth playout" make it sound mysterious and their something he knows that we dont maybe when the truth is dude had a hard time with him and hes wondering out loud if errol will too.

          Actually Keith is accurate with what he's been saying, and Keith wanted that work.

          Look what happened to Bundu the moment Keith turned Southpaw:



          Keith doesn'T the credit. If anything, all Keith PROVED was that Bundu would be no match against ELITE Southpaws.

          Keith said Bundu was a very awkward fighter and switched stances randomly, so Keith had to try different strategies. Gavin is no Spence Jr., and Thurman is no Algieri.

          Spence vs Keith is a good fight. Let Spence get a title and settle the political drama with Brook. From there, IBF unification bouts can be made. Of course Spence might want to make defenses too before unifying. Getting the title first is important.

            I don't think Spence will be in a hurry to fight Keith once Keith becomes beltless on March 4 th,but who knows.

              Keith thought Bundu was very good. Spence showed him how to get Bundu out of there in style. Bundu was not that bad but he was not that good. Bundu said Spence was better than Thurman after fighting them both.

                Keith also showed the World that Bundu was 40 years old at the time...vs 42 years old already losing that 0 come Spence...

                      That was a great fight actually. Bundu was WAY more active offensively in the Spence bout since Round 1. I guess because Keith marketed nothing but KO's he let his consistency down with the perception that he would KO a 40 year old. Two years later, one could theorize that Bundu's exponential work rate against Spence tired him out faster than the Keith bout. They're on Youtube. Look at Bundu's offense from either bout starting from Round 1.

                      Spence is the real deal though. Not as crafty as Lara, but stateside needs one.
