Thurman-Spence is a true 50-50 fight..

Thurman can’t and won’t survive the body shots that Porter endured against Spence. Stylistically I’ve always felt Spence is all wrong for Thurman and I think Thurman knows this. It won’t be an easy fight but the outcome seems clear to me, Tough fight for the first 7/8 rounds and then Spence takes over after wearing Keith down via body attack.Comment

Lol nah...People still making Spence out to be this KO artist LOL. He couldn't make a dent against a fat lightweight and looked weak against Porter in spots. Sure, he dropped Porter but Porter sprang back up and brought the heat right back to him pushing him to the ropes. He's not stopping anybody at the top level even with his size advantage. A healthy Thurman would outbox him and stun him. Spence doesn't move his head and showed he gets thrown off by footwork.
Even Danny Garcia saw all the glaring flaws in Spence and happily stepped up to him. lol
Thurman just can’t take a body shot...Comment

Good breakdown...Thurman can’t and won’t survive the body shots that Porter endured against Spence. Stylistically I’ve always felt Spence is all wrong for Thurman and I think Thurman knows this.

People seem completely unaware of how vulnerable Thurman is to the body. The southpaw left tends to be a shot that troubles him also, both Pac and Collazo hurt him badly to the body the that shot.
Spence stops him... Styles make fights.Comment

In what sense?
Spence doesn’t really struggle with lateral movement, as he likes to fight on the front foot, likes to press the action and can cut the ring off.
A bad style matchup for Spence is someone who can push him back and put him on the back foot. Thurman can’t do that.Comment

Yeah, I think Porter hurt him with a left to the body too.... he’s very vulnerable and none of the guys we’ve mentioned are anywhere near as good body punchers as Spence.Comment

Exactly mate...
Spence really targets the body as well, Thurman is a tough guy and definitely has heart but there’s just no way he will survive that body attack.Comment

if Keith can take the body punches for 12 rounds he will have a good chance to win, and we know he cant, so....Comment

If only it were that simple. Banking on one aspect, have seen this a few times, oh, who and who did this. Not that long ago what was being said about what Ugas was doing to Porter. Hopefully Spence doesn’t get hit with any big shots or has the chin of Garcia and Porter. Get broken down like Collazo, stopped to the body himself like Quintana or take a broken rib like Diaz. Hopefully he doesn’t get beffudled with the footwork neither.


Hopefully he can take the punch Thurman comes back at him with after he breaks Thurman’s ribs

Hopefully he can take it better than he did that right hook from Lartei

To hope.Last edited by SplitSecond; 09-30-2019, 10:47 AM.Comment
