Comments Thread For: Thurman To Spence: A Lot Of Talk For Someone Handling My Past Work!

No one beat Porter the way Brook did. Not even close.

Yeah, Spence and Thurman came to fight not hug the man to death.

Brook had a good gameplan and he won the fight, but let's not act like he went in there and beat the man down. He spoiled the fight, found his spots, and eked out a win.

What would you prefer, Brook making sure to pick his spots and tie up Porter who was overthrowing everything, or look for the big shots with Porter overthrowing everything and the fight coming to an end due to injuries caused by Porter's head? Brook had already had his face split open with Porter's head, with Porter also getting a facial injury due to his wild punches.

Brook did the right thing. Control that dude and protect your face. Pick your shots here and there and leave with the title, otherwise he'll be waiting another 6 months to go with the couple of years he'd already waited.

He’s not wrong. In fact, Spence hasn’t fought Danny yet, and so many fans are counting Garcia out already.

I'd be impressed if Danny goes the full 12. Danny does not match-up well with Spence.

Spence is a high output stalker and Danny doesn't have the power to discourage Spence's workload and tight defense.

This could get ugly for Danny, but they have to fight it out so we'll see

I think that fighting and beating a top guy would be better than demanding fights based on what he (Thurman) did 3-4 years ago. There are no guarantees that Spence will get Pacquiao or Crawford so if Thurman wants to be relevant then he needs to get off the sidelines and get active.

I get you. For his legacy perhaps fighting Ugas is the way to go, and maybe it will put him in a position to get the Manny Pacquaio rematch if he beats Ugas and becomes the regular WBA champ.

He can have Haymon put pressure on the WBA to order Manny to defend against him.

Manny will then have to choose between rematching Thurman, fighting Spence, or dropping the belt.

Either way Thurman will be in a good position.

Great idea man.

I hate when young bucks call out pacquiao, man up and fight each other. Crawford and Spence specially.

I hate it when Pacquiao holds the division hostage.

Man up and fight the best or drop the belt so that the young guns can move on with their careers.

Is that why when Hearn asked him to fight in England like he said he would, he turned it down? Hearn then offered the fight in the US. Thurman turned it down again. Go and look at the other videos from that time and see what Thurman has to say. I don't care about Thurman lying about fighting Brook in this video when it's common knowledge he ducked the fight.

You mean the Porter win where Porter was the big favourite but Kell pretty much dominated? Yeah, forget that MD. Kell won 9 rounds. Porter would go on to beat both Thurman and Spence but not get the decision. No one beat Porter the way Brook did. Not even close.

Brook was willing to fight those fights in the US but he was ducked like Brits are always ducked by your guys. Stop talking nonsense. Brits are always ready to travel. However, Americans are terrified of doing so. It's been that way for over a hundred years. They lose nearly every single time they try. Whereas we win most of the time we travel.

You mean Naz that travelled 5 times as champ to the US? Who was he supposedly not wanting to fight? He was ducked by all the top fighters like Morales, Barrera, Marquez, McKinney, Jones, Tapia and Espinosa. Sorry, but you're incredibly deluded. It was only when Barrera had nothing to lose after being ripped off of the decision against Morales in the first fight did he eventually accept the fight after years of turning it down. Go and watch their after fight interviews around that time and listen when Naz is mentioned. HBO even put the pictures up of all that ducked the fight before the Sanchez fight.

Khan was the best at 140, what are you talking about? He was ducked by Bradley, Floyd, Manny and a few others. He did duck Brook, but that was about it. The rest is fantasy like the rest of the nonsense. Khan also fought plenty of times in the US. Something that Americans are too scared to do themselves with the UK. They're too scared to fight us on their home soil too, that's how pathetic it is. The only way we could get to your coward in Wilder for years was him cherry picking a badly out of shape Fury and thinking it was easy pickings. The rest on that joke is history.

You lost all credibility when you said that Porter beat Spence.

Lol, not even close buddy.

The sanction body can take it way anytime. So he can hold it till he dies?

Thurman is just trying to stay relevant at this point, apart from asking for 10m for a Crawford fight, what has he done lately?

Thanks, and I mention Ugas specifically because I know the fight would be easy to make. Ugas would gladly take the B-side position just to secure the opportunity and you already covered how a win could benefit “One Time”.
