    Spence wins the same way he beat Brook. I don't think Thurman would be able to box with this kid without the need to clinch. Spence will never allow Thurman the distance he needs. Erroll will brawl his way in forcibly. There's no KO in this fight. It would probably resemble the Garcia fight. Which many people say was boring to watch.

    Did you expect clinching in the Brook-Spence fight? Yet it happened tens and tens of times. Third time I saw it, man, there's no way Brook wins this fight, I thought to myself.

    Porter vs Spence would be more interesting.

        Thurman by decision, "Onetime" is the KING until these 2 battle it out

          I favour Spence..... but Thurman has a good gas tank, he's showed he can fight at a furious pace for 12 rounds which he'll undoubtedly need to do against Spence.

          The key is the body work, Thurman needs to negate that..... but how?

          My guess is he's got to land something big early to hurt Spence and take his confidence away early, if he can hurt him early then maybe Spence doesn't get going until the mid rounds at which point Thurman can win those early rounds and doesn't slow down as drastically as Brook did.

          For Spence?? ..... well he needs to do what he's done thus far, box behind the jab to get in close. Work the body and close the show late on when Thurman runs on empty.

          My guess is Spence has a better chance off pulling off his game plan than Thurman so I'd probably pick him to win by close UD or very late stoppage.

          Amazing fight when it goes down, probably better than the one we saw this weekend.

              Thurman was doubled over by Collazo, Spence is a vicious body worker which will slow Thurman down. Thurman also lunges and throws a lot of wide loopy shots, Spence will avoid or catch them and break thurman down for a late TKO.

                In my mind this fight is much more competitive now than I thought it would be before this weekend. I kinda bought into the Spence is super man hype a little. Spence is good, but he isn't super man. I was fully expecting him to blow through a Brook that I was sure would have a hard weight cut. I wasn't expecting Spence to also look like he had a hard weight cut as well. Spence looked sluggish to me. His hands weren't all that fast. He was very counterable, and offensively, he was a little one dimensional. Any future opponent would be smart to park hard lead right hands over his jab.

                Thurman vs Spence is a more even fight in my mind now that I've seen Spence in with a top level guy. We learned some thing. Spence will still be bigger than Thurman in the ring. Thurman is only 5'7. I think Thurman should be able to counter Spence a bit though, and also maybe time him with jump in type hooks or right hands.

                  Rooting for Thurman.

                  But I believe Spence would win that one. By wearing down the body and either winning by late stoppage or by decision.

                  I would like to see Thurman win though, I'm rooting for him. But being real and honest in my assessment, I would say Spence wins.
