    Spence grinds him down mid to late. Normally, I'm wishy-washy on what most perceive to be good match ups. This one, I'm 100% certain of the outcome.

    Spence is way too aggressive and punches way too much to the body for Thurman. Spence has a good engine and will throw bombs throughout. Thurman may be a better boxer and sharper puncher, but ultimately, Spence is too big for him. Thurman could only decision Guerrero and Garcia. I'm pretty sure Spence will knock them both out.

    I don't know. If Kell doesn't get tired this fight is not quite the same. Will Keith get tired also? Errol said he felt sluggish too. Not sure how long he stays at welterweight. I think Thurman wins if we see the same Spence.

    Thurman doesn't have the right style to beat Spence IMO. I think in a boxing match, Spence holds all the advantages and either grinds Keith down late or wins a wide decision.

    I'm on the fence. I want to digest Spence's win a bit. Perhaps I blaspheme, but Brook's best win was Porter in a fight that (contrary to the narrative around here) wasn't a schooling and in which Brook benefited from favorable reffing. I'm not convinced that Brook (however brave and classy) was necessarily the number 1 (or even 2 or 3) current WW going in last night. Will come back and vote down the road.

    Spence in 6-8 . Easier fight than Brook and Thurman is very bad at taking body shots.
