Why do people think Thurman vs Spence is a foregone conclusion??

Wont be one sided if Thurman takes out his trackshoes. Once he starts running all over the place like a fkin pansy, itll be hard for Spence to catch him.

Originally posted by Damn Wicked View PostI believe Thurman is the better fighter and would win BUT he's been out of the ring for awhile now. He seems to be preoccupied with other things, like his significant other and his wedding.....Is his heart still in the fight game?? Hopefully it is.
He has been inactive but he was out the ring for nearly a year before the Porter fight and 9 months before the Garcia fight and showed little signs of rust so hopefully that will be the case if he fights Spence.

I think it stems from the belief that American fans hope and think Spence is something truly special, whereas Thurman is elite, but you can see he isn't special.
Personally I am not convinced Spence is special, or he beats Thurman. I don't expect him to stand out from the rest, just another elite guy in the mix.
Crawford on the other hand...now that guy is tremendous.
Lets wait and find out.

I think Spence wins by KO. Thurman has shown a weakness in taking body punches poorly. Spence is a great body puncher. Thurman had close wins over Porter and Garcia. Spence KOed Brook who is about as good or maybe better than Garcia or Porter. Thurman might win some rounds because he is very good but Spence is better and would end the fight with a KO win just as he has KOed almost everyone he ever fought.

Originally posted by RJJ-94-02=GOAT View PostI'm thinking Spence manages to get the stoppage at around 9-12. Thurman certainly proved a lot to me in terms of stamina in the Porter fight though so I could see him hearing the final bell. I think Spence will heavily invest in that body though and break him late.
