Comments Thread For: Is Keith Thurman Doing The Right Thing By Making Spence Wait?

[greeneye99]

'Sometime' Keith Thurman already lost: Errol ' The Truth' Spence has a win over this clown ( if respect among your peers means anything ) its like the old days when honor meant something, you are called out for a duel and you don't show up by sundown -- only this time Keiph had a whole year and still refused to fight.

We don't need to see this fight anymore, I know 'The Truth'. Keith come find your balls, Errol Spence has them.

as usual your post Makes no sense lol

He needs to test out the elbow in a tune up, then Fight his mando or get stripped. He has no choice but to make Spence wait. I don't understand what the big deal is.

Dudes can't stop complaining, like they don't understand how boxing works.

The key for Keith is to keep winning lol Waiting doesn't work if you take a "L" he better hope that he doesn't suffer a loss or get robbed between now and then. I couldn't imagine if he were belt-less and started begging for title shots lol

So Keith does deserve recovery time, you can't just have a long layoff and fight the top fighters. Boxing doesn't work like that you gotta get the flow and timing down. So let him work out the kinks then no more excuses lol

Yes. Spence is the toughest fighter at 147 and you don't get in the ring with him after an injury, you need momentum in boxing and Thurman NEEDS 2 fights and a good run BEFORE he fights Spence to stand any chance of winning.

Thurman knows this, because he is smart. Boxing fans will call him a ducker, but intelligent people know boxing and that to be at 100%, you need momentum, which is certainly not after an injury and inactivity.

This ^^^^^

Not just that, as a fighter you want to go in 100% so there is never any doubt. "maybe I should have had a couple fights before fighting the best guy in the division.

I think Thurman knows himself by this point, and that he is not ****** enough to be pressured into a fight like Brook was.

I guess it's wise for Thurman to take a few tune up fights before facing a dangerous Spence. I think he might even wait until Terrence and Spence fought each other...

[ShoulderRoll]

Why did the writer say that this is taking a page out of Mayweather's playbook?

Letting fights marinate comes straight out of the playbook of another person....

Thurman is just delaying the inevitable no way he beats Spence I expect a late round stoppage I think he knew when Spencer was an amateur somewhere in the back of his mind he knew where this young guy was going to give him plenty of trouble and he will...
