Speed, can keep Spence "honest", and control him, for Thurman to steal rounds and win.

    Too bad that we will never see Errol Spence vs Terrence Bud Crawford, we just have to settle on a subpar fight like this one.

    The closer this fight gets, the more I think Thurman does better than expected.

    BUT, if Spence shows up and doesn’t fight like a big puss like he did against Mikey, Thurman is getting folded in half.

    Thurman has a 5% chance of winning. He's been hurt to the body so many times and he's fighting a massive weighted Spence at 154. It's gonna be a slaughter after first 3 rounds

    If Errol Spence has left over troubles from his accident, then I think Thurman has a chance.

    Not really a fight anyone's been clamoring for, not since 2017 or so

    I would rather him fight ennis or even a Brian Castano type at 154. Thurman is a good fighter and talented, he did unify belts and won plenty of rounds against Pacquiao so he has ability. This might be a very competitive fight but I give Thurman little to no chance

    Thurman is one of the most over rated fighters of thr generation. Spence mauls this version and beats a prime one..

    How was Thurman ever overrated? He was consistently criticized for having a weak body before he ever won a belt. And he never made it on P4P lists after unifying 2 belts while his peer in Spence jumped to #7 on p4p lists after winning his first belt off a broken, weight jumping Kell Brook. Thurman was the only man to beat Porter clearly with no clenching/corral tactics fighting Porters own fight. If anyone is overrated, it's Spence.

    Spence would have whipped Pac worse than Ugas did! Roach would have thrown in the towel!

    Spence timing will neutralize Thurman's speed. Thurman getting stopped to the body.

    Keith "Once Upon a Time" Thurman has less than zero percent chance of beating Spence. During his prime, he shamelessly avoided Errol. Thurman is simply pushing his chips all in; he's cashing out.
