yeah, Brook smothered Spences bodywork and it still caught up to him....Thurman uses his legs more which means if Spence gets body shots in anyway, they will be at full leverage...if Collazo, Porter and GUerrero got them through, Spence will and it will be ugly for Keith. My only question about Spence was his chin and he passed it good enough so even though Thurman could catch him coming in(Spence is still a bit stiff and straight) you gotta favor Spence heavily.

Stop crying dude you've called Thurman a hype job for years get over itComment

Thurman won the last 3 rounds against Porter. His engine isn't as good as Spence's but he's got quicker hands and feet than Spence, along with better reflexes.
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.Comment

Spences power will affect porter, plus he goes to the body just as much, if not more.
Not only that, but the great equalizer will be Spences jab, and the fact that porter will be there to be hit all night. Spence is also just flat out bigger. Porter really shines against smaller guys he can overwhelm.
It'll be action packed though.Comment

A lot of people don't like Thurman's style at the highest level. He went from One Time to what people call "Run Time." 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.Comment

Thurman can outbox spence and he has the power to hurt spence.

I agree with everything you said, until you started talking that yanks crap. So what you brits do a better job at supporting your hype jobs than we do? Could it be that we have a larger variety to choose from than you do?
Besides you've got people who think spence will win, as well as those who think thurman will win, equally chiming in here, so nobody is hating on One Time, it just makes for an interesting fight if you ask me.Comment

Nah it's not just that. It's obviously easier to become a star in the UK because the population is much smaller, selling fighters is easier. But we both know that's not the only problem. I don't usually talk politics on here but there's a real racial divide over there, you've got people fanboying not only fighters, but also networks and promoters, simply based on race/skin colour. It's cool to support your own people, but people over there take it too far and it creates a toxic environment. At the end of the day it's just a sport, it's not that deep to be disliking or hating on somebody because they're from a different background.
Anyway, I've gone too far off topic.
It's all good though, the fight is gonna be a treat for the fans. No doubt about it.Comment

Sure it is Possible but Thurman present problems as well, his Movement will be a problem and because he has Power, Walking him down won't be easy! Fan of Both, Thurman is WBA and WBC champ for a reason he can fight and he is very Versatile!Comment
