I really didn't care much for this match but since its a unification its all good, its a must happen.

I fkn knew it!! I said numerous times that porter would rematch thurman before he ever dared to face spence! He knows he has a chance vs thurman and no chance what so ever vs spence! All this means is that we will not be seeing bud vs spence until sometime in 2020 smfh!!!

Thurman needs to make up for lost time. No time for tune-ups. He already knows Porter, so get in the gym and find the right sparring partners, make this fight in early 2019.

Lol, Thurman is definitely taking a tune up before facing Porter. Maybe he could fight his tune up in like January or February and quickly turn around for a April or May showdown vs Porter?

This rumor has been going on for a while. Maybe it'll make unification of the division quicker

Im cool with this as a fight but will anybody ever fight Spence??

I might side with Porter if Thurman fights him coming off of a layoff. That seems like among the last guys you'd wanna fight coming off of a long layoff.

I'd still rather see Spence vs Porter doe of any makeable 147 fight next. Thurman probably does need a bs tuneup fight. Bud vs any PBC guy isn't happening. So for me right now Spence vs Porter seems like the fight to make.

I'd rather see Spence fight Porter over Mikey. Sh^t man make me the master of the PBC universe & I'd make Spence vs Porter, throw Thurman in some top 20 guy fight & have the Garcia's (Mikey & Danny) fight to legitimize Mikey at 147 or knock him down to a lesser level at 147 or stick to the lower weight guys. Take things from there for the rest of the year with the Spence vs Porter winner, Thurman & Mikey if he made himself relevant.
