    I'm feeling like a "Close" fight, that Thurman gets the the decision no matter what, so they can make the Spence fight. Will this fight go the distance? Can Barrios win?

    I don't see Thurman getting the fight with Spence. If Spence wins, what does he gain from fighting a semi retired fighter?

    Spence is coming back from massive inactivity plus an injury that is often career ending, so he probably doesn't want to jump straight to a fight with Crawford, Ennis, or a 154 title.

    Meanwhile, he hasn't shown a willingness to fight absolute bums. Thurman is another PBC guy who has a big name but is way off track career wise. A non-rusty Thurman might be a legitimate threat though, it will be interesting to see how ambitious Spence is with his comeback.

    A Spence - Thurman fight would be interesting.

    Top Rank, PBC, and now Eddie Fern.

    All saying Crawford is a terrible draw.

    Thurman's main weakness is constantly, always, every single time.... talking about himself in the third person. And if not the third person, as a 'collective' i.e "we" instead of "I". His opponent should capitalise on this in the ring. Let's see how it factors into the gameplay.

    Thurman:

    " Keith Thurman is ready for the fight, and Keith Thurman's a champion. The thing about Keith Thurman is he has great durability and the heart of a Keith Thurman, which is bigger than a Lion's heart. We took a look at the opponent and Keith Thurman knows he has what it takes to win in spectacular fashion; he can't touch us. We are sure of that. Keith Thurman is ready".

    etc.

    I thought it was basically confirmed that Spence is fighting Ugas next?

    Porter said Bud was by far the best fighter he`s ever fought.
