    Thats what camp is for though, to get back into shape again and ready for a fight. He cant test his elbow out in camp.

        I am no huge Jessie fan but he isn't the guy you fight coming off a year layoff and elbow surgery. I'll believe it when I see it.

Its not like hes been out for a couple years. He doesnt need a tune up at all. Hes just trying to prolong his title reign before fighting Spence.

          Im a fan of thurman too but its like he just doesnt want that spence fight. Ever since they started talking about it in 2015 he always has an excuse why spence isnt next.
          This is hardly even a tune up. He's still a top 10 guy at 147

              Respect for Thurman taking on a top ten guy for a tune up. Good fight.

                That’s a pretty good “tuneup.”
