The 147 pound king and greatest fighter of the WW division Errol Spence was ambitious. He bit off more than people thought he could chew when he fought Kell Brook. Brook was widely regarded as the biggest and strongest WW in the division. With a titanium plate in Brooks surgically repaired right eye socket, we knew Brook's right eye was pretty much unbreakable going into the fight with the Truth. It turned out he would be beaten so bad that his left eye socket would get smashed into oblivion. Spence beat Brook from pillar to post in the second half of the fight and established his dominance over the most experienced and well rounded fighter in the WW division. In doing so he showed he is the king of the welterweight division. Brook had no choice but to bend the knee to King Spence and quit. Now ol Run Time Keith Thurman has purposely gotten surgery on his elbow to prolong a Spence fight until next year. I get the feeling he will be running like he was from a JWW Danny Garcia in his last fight. Ultimately though, he will have to find courage and man up. When he finally fights Spence he will realize there is a reason all the pundits say Spence is the future of the sport even though Thurman has accomplished slightly more (and took way longer to do so). We all know Spence is the superior fighter and will easily win the battle. My question is, will Spence make Thurman quit when he realizes there is nowhere to run and the punches are raining down on him? Will King Spence make Thurman bend the knee!!!?
Will King Spence make Thurman bend the knee?

He is going to have a hard time being slick with a hungry Spence pressing the fight. If Porter had ring IQ he could have beat Thurman. Spence has the ring IQ, work rate and gritty determination. He dares to be great. Thurman decided to go into business man mode avoiding Errol when he used to act like it was hard to get fights. Spence is already in his head and the self doubt has already set in. Thurman didn't look slick barely squeaking by Porter. Errol isn't a statue like Garcia. He will make it a dog fight even if Run Time is employed.Comment

Thurman wont make it out of the 6th round with Spence.
I seriously doubt that fight ever takes place.Comment

C'mon man! Keef got this! He has to many angles to his game for Spence, right now. After a few more fights then Spence will have a BETTER chance of beating KeithComment

No, instead Spence would hit him so hard he'll force him into doing the Stanky leg because he's from Dallas.
Spence cuts off the ring very well and is an excellent inside fighter. One time can run but he cannot hide.Comment
