It amazes me how people don't see Thurman is getting KO'd by Spence

      Shawn Porter would be a nightmare for Spence's style. This would be a body punching fest. I would bet a ton of money on either guy cause either could win. I wouldnt be remotely surprised if Porter won with his swarming style. There would be cuts in this fight too.

        He's talking about overall which is true.

          Brook might be a better fighter than Thurman, I think. I am confident in Spence picking up the win. He will stop Thurman. They're aren't many fighters who can handle him on the inside, couple that with his very strong jab plus the fact he gets stronger as the fight goes on and I just don't see how Thurman can win.

          Thurman is a decent puncher, but not the devastating hitter he was made out to be. Garcia and Porter took clean shots from him on the chin and weren't hurt. He'll have to stop Spence to win this fight because he can't outbox him and I don't think he can hurt Errol. Thurman's power has been greatly exaggerated

            I'm not as confident about Spence beating Thurman. The latter has better movement, reflexes, and he's got enough power to prevent Spence coming forward to unload his bombs (much like Brook's first four rounds). Spence is a little stiff, not as fluid, and Thurman has the better jab. Great fight when it happens.

              Some people on here underrate Thurman, he's definitely dangerous for Spence because he hits harder than Brook and Spence gets hit with a lot of right hands. Plus Thurman has speed and a decent defence so he can be awkward to fight.

              However, Spence's bodywork would do serious damage against Thurman's glass gut.

Thurman's likely to be on his bicycle all night, which will undoubtedly rub people the wrong way. Not only is Spence talented, but he comes forward more often than not, so he catches the "I only support black fighters" crowd as well as the casual crowd. That plus his talent, and you have a hell of a lot of people rooting heavily for Spence.
                Couldn't of said it better my self from one time to run time turned a lot of boxing fans off with him. Also in 2 fights against Bundu and Collazzo he got hit hard and didn't step it up another level for a knock out. He got on his bicycle and took the easy way to get a win.

                  Spence Should call him out about his Fighting name. Are you going to live up to One Time and fight me? Or your given name Run time? Which he's starting to earn by his actions in the ring lately. One thing I see in Spence that I don't see in Thurman is the daring to be great attribute. Spence will go for the kill. Thurman will take the easier way out.

                    Spence will be the favourite in the fight, but the way people are counting Thurman out is starting to remind me of Garcia vs Matthysse. The guy is getting no respect, you yanks do a really **** job of supporting your fighters, if Thurman was from the UK he would be a PPV fighter with a huge fanbase. He's got the resume, titles, KO power and he's a good talker, what's not to like?

                    Win or lose, Thurman is going to test Spence. Believe that.
                    Yeah, I don't get it. Keith should have a bigger fan base.

                      Thurman gets hit just as much as Spence does....matter of fact, EVERY ww not named floyd mayweather gets hit a lot.

                      Fact is, Thurman hasn't stopped anybody in a long time...even porter took Keith's best shots, and didn't go anywhere, and this was a guy that got put down by Adrien Broner for goodness sakes...

                      Thurman's faster on his feet, and according to Leonard Bundu, who got slept by Spence, hits harder, but if Keith fights going backwards which has been his m.o. as of late, he'll probably lose this fight on activity alone.
