    Just watched the replay of the fight. Gotta admit...I thought Spence was gonna get exposed. Looks like the hype was justified! I want to see Thurman vs. Spence next. I give the slight edge to Thurman because of experience, but Spence is a stylistic problem for him. Can't wait!

      Thurman has three options come October-November: Porter rematch, Peterson, or Spence. The demand will be Thurman-Spence but don't be surprised if Thurman chooses another route.
      The Keith "1 Time" Thurman Jr vs Errol "The Thruth" Spence Jr WBC/WBA/IBF Unification fight is not up to either guy to make it happen.

      It's all up to Al Haymon. I don't see this fight happening right away but it will def happen in the very near future. I see Errol getting in at least 2 more Ws before stepping in with Thurman. Again, it's Haymon the one calling the shots, not them, sht, if it was up to the fighters they would probably agree to fight next saturday...

      Thurman/Spence is the best possible matchup that can be made in boxing right now. Two Undefeated 147 champions in their prime looking to unify an historic division.

      Both are highly skilled. I see everyone here on their feelings, bashing Thurman but the Florida kid is good and at this moment has far more experience than Errol. I still have Spence slightly the favorite but i wouldn't count 1 Time out. I believe this is a 50/50 fight.

      Fellas, stop getting your panties in a bunch and just trust the process. Enjoy the fights as they come and watch the rise of the new kings!

      PS I expect Spence Jr to fight for the RING belt very soon since Oscar seems to like the kid a lot. Thurman/Spence should be for the WBA, WBC, IBF & RING titles. Fck the top rank belt.

        ....and so it begins



        Didn't you learn ANYTHING from the fight you just watched????

        Experience isn't a force-field...it won't keep Spence off those ribs.

        Thurman couldn't even handles Luis Collazo's body attack.

          did you miss the second part of the sentence you bolded? spence has the tools to beat thurman, but i just don't think he is ready yet. thurman has the speed advantage even if you call the power even. should be a great fight, and i hope boxing delivers another one!
