    Errol Spence called Keith Thurman out after the fight yesterday and Keith Thurman responded already:

    So you know it's going down.

    I pick Spence to overwhelm Thurman with his strength and speed but will have to revisit this before I vote.

    I think and believe that Thurman can knock him out or win a decision,Kell Brook has like above average power and Thurman can do better than that for sure,also he wont clinch and stuff but will probably run around tho.Still better fight imo,cant wait to see it.

    Prior to yesterday's fight, I was thinking Spence would KO Thurman. After seeing that Spence was so sluggish, slow, one dimensional, predictable in his attack, and so easily countered by a Brook, I'm giving Thurman more of a chance now. He has better feet than Brook, and while his defense is no better, he hits at least as hard as Brook, and he can do it on the move, he doesn't need to be flat footed. I could see Thurman timing Spence's slow arse jab, with a right hand and causing some trouble.

    Thurman box circles round Spence. Spence best work is when he gets you on ropes, the body shots seem to tire his opponents and takes effect in late rounds.

    Thurman probably the best mover at welterweight with respectable power.

    Thurman boxes his head off on outside, but Spence is a serious threat with his inside work.

    Given Thurman movement I don't think he'll be on ropes long enough for Spence to work, So Thurman on points

    I think Thurman is 90% athlete/10% boxing skill. He won the fight against Garcia on pure athleticism. I know, part of boxing is althleticism, but I just don't think he has the boxing skill to beat Spence or keep him off him. He basically had a 7-5 fight vs. Garcia, who is smaller and IMO doesn't have the overall boxing skills that Spence has.

    "slow" and Spence don't belong together in any form. I'd pick brook over Thurman EVERYDAY as I would Spence. I also believe brook ko's Thurman easier than brook, but any way, they're both at least a level above Thurman, for sure

    fyi: in case (obviously did) you missed the action yesterday, Spence showed many different dimensions to his game. you're trolling if you're claiming Spence as ONE dimensional, you're demented is more likely

    Spence tko 7 thurman is less rugged than brook especially to the body and not as strong he will be broken down by a brutal body assault his normal movement will be slowed and he will be a sitting duck for Spence's brutal assault.
