Spence to fight Thurman... at Jr. Middleweight

I like this fight.... let's be honest, Spence has looked pretty lackluster since returning from his accident, and Thurman regularly fought in and around 150 throughout the early part of his career, and he didn't look horrendous vs. Barrios. Stylistically, I've always thought Thurman could pose quite a few problems for Spence. So it's kind of a good test for both of them to see where they're at in their careers. Also, let's be honest, is there any doubt Thurman would outpoint the Ugas and Garcia that Spence fought?

 

Let's not forget, even though he looked decent against both, he was also rocked so badly by both of them, he seemingly lost track of reality and mid match went on walkabout two times. Sure he lost to Pacquiao, as I predicted he would, but he also performed exceptionally well in teh second half, and almost did enough to make it a draw. As far as getting rocked by Josesito, yeah... that wasn't his greatest moment, but people also tend to forget, he dropped Lopez early and won basically every other round of that fight. I'm not entirely sure that Lopez wouldn't rock Spence and that Pacquiao wouldn't give Spence issues either.

 

I keep saying Usyk and Loma are the light of the boxing world and he who follows them shall never be in darkness.

Never any nonsense with them. No deck-stacking. No A-side, B-side diva shenanigans. No refusing to sign on the dotted line unless they have as many advantages that can be wangled in their favour wangled in their favour so they're essentially rolling with loaded dice. No refusing to travel. No cheating. No weight bullying. No home refs to let them fight to their own set of rules and home judges (sans one judge in the first AJ fight) to turn a L into a W and save their unbeaten records. No trying to weaken opponents at the negotiating table with catchweights and rehydration clauses. No cherrypicking. No ageing opponents out. No ducking and avoiding the best. How often do we see this with their peers and other fighters? It's such a common occurrence that we come to expect it. If every fighter was like them all the fights would get made and the sport would be 1000 times better and more healthy. But y'all support all that malarky and hate on the real ones who tread the righteous path, the path that few others will walk

Keithy will have have fought one time (see what I did there?) in almost four years by the time they climb into the ring. Like once in 44 months or something.
