    Yes, Thurman has looked a bit vulnerable to the body at times eg Collazo. I was surprised Garcia didnt work it more with his left hook.

    However, if Thurman hits Spence as easily with his right hand as Brook did then Spence is going to be in a whole lot more trouble than he was last night!

      You do realize that Thurman is the one who is actually out with an injury until 2018?

      I think Spence will go the mandatory route and fight Carlos Ocampo - who will take the slot.

      Tewa Kiram should get a shot at Lamont Peterson for the interim WBA.

      So you could get Garcia v. Porter for the number #1 contender spot (WBC), which should be the next logical fight - but I have feeling Garcia would rather fight Broner. Bigger name and easier fight. Plus the hype surrounding the fight would draw more attention.

        Thurman fight is more realistic for next year. Hopefully Spence stays busy and keeps his momentum going. Pac fight is realistic I think, except for the fact Arum will want no part of it.

          What other top names are there for him? I agree they are on the sidelines but with Thurman out I think they're the best available names. Unless Bradley still plans on fighting at 147

            Humble, well spoken, has a killer fighting style, and just wants to fight the best.
            He reminds me of AJ actually.
            Boxing is in fine hands after Floyd and Pac fully retire.

              Spence is gonna break Thurman down with body shots. We know that is a bit of a weak point for Keith. Thurman probably takes an early lead because of his ability to box and move so well, but the body shots he takes will begin to slow him down until Spence is able to stay in front of him and unload.

              Hope we get it within a year's time!

                Spence we know you want to unify but Thurman had elbow surgery will be out 6 months then will need a tuneup first stop calling out a fight that's a year away
