        Another man down. Not too long ago Thurman thought he was the boogie man in the division, funny how things change. I fully expect Thurman to do the Rashad Evans "I wanna keep my belt longer." even when he's healthy enough to fight.

          Are you kidding me NC? Come on you know Spence has better ability RIGHT NOW. The key to this fight is the mental stability. Look at how determined Errol is? I haven't seen this level of determination in a fighter (outside of Crawford) since a young prime Pretty Boy Floyd. Yes Thurman is slightly sharper skills wise right now and will be in the early going of the fight.......... Until Spence learns during the fight what Thurman is doing to him. Then you will see the deciding factor. You will see the difference between these two men. Spence is too determined to get smoked out by Thurman. Thurman can't smoke this kid out of there early even if he is catching him hard. Errol's will is what is going to have him applying constant pressure like he did in the Brook fight. Errol just broke a mans face. A man his own size, who really was physically stronger than him in the early going. This power is not like Thurman's. This is extraordinary power that SomeTime doesn't possess. You see Spence bridge the skill gap as the fight goes on. You saw how big ass Brook was fighting like a beast early and using the experience advantage. Brook didn't used to be a quitter. He had to chance everything once Spence started breaking his body apart. He never imagined himself having to bend the knee and give up the welterweight crown in front of his home fans. Thurman's only chance is to put Errol to sleep Williams-Martinez 2 style. He won't. This kid is too good, too prime. Keith loses this by KO. He is the one that doesn't want it now and needs to be a "business man". Cerebral guys like him can be broken down if they aren't prepared. He needs the time to prepare, not Spence. Spence beats him now and he is the one that has to go train and hope to close the gap. His experience advantage in this fight is highly overrated by some. Those that know what they are seeing and don't need Paulie Malignaggi to tell them what they are seeing already know Spence is the better fighter right now. He knocks out championship fighters. Thurman doesn't even knock out championship contenders. Don't kid yourself bro.

            Yeah thats right. I just laugh to myself watching old Thurman interviews about KOs for life and how everybody was running from him. He really used to think he was the ****. He doesn't talk like that now that Spence is around. Thurman quit barking and was quickly domesticated mentally. He quit saying he was being avoided after that. He is the Danny Garcia of the welterweight division. I say that because he is that fighter people think is the easy guy to beat. Danny will always be a junior WW in my eyes. Thats Keith's best win. Very sad. He beat a little guy and it took him several years to get to that point. King Spence conquered the real challenge, the man that was on the highest level technically/mentally. He broke that man. Man down or knee down, they can't hang with this kid right now. Nobody can. Maybe Crawford has a shot at victory. Not Danny, not Thurman. Shawn Porter can take this kid the distance, Peterson probably can too. Other than that these over top guys right now get stopped at 47

              We can agree to disagree. Btw thank you for the wonderful memory of Martinez v Williams 2 KO. One of the sickest ever! Errol is a talented young man, he is special, but I just think that Thurman can raise the bar higher when they meet. I could be very wrong though. We will eventually get to see. Errol definitely has a will to succeed, a humble attitude, and a serious killer instinct. No lacking there.

                I enjoyed the career of PWill. He fought everyone that was willing. Errol has that same mentality. So far Thurman has been able to get the job done every time out. He will definitely have to raise his level and be better than ever before to stand a chance against welterweight King pin Spence. Hopefully this fight comes off. I know Spence wants it. I'd be suprised if Thurman stepped up to the plate and fought this kid in his next fight. If he does though, the coronation will be official.

                  The WBO strap is also being held hostage by a Pacman that's avoiding Spence like a red ghost!

                    Spence would stop this version of Pacman now. Pac couldn't even avoid those telegraph head butts. Errol's hands would give him too many problems He is better off rolling the dice with Crawford. He has a KO chance with the left hand if he's in shape atleast. Spence is too big for him.

                      I don't think Pacman goes 5 rounds with Spence. Pacman should just retire. He is getting badly bloodied and getting decisions on him by the likes of low level limited contenders like Jeff Horn. He's washed up.
