    Keith Thurman is tiny for 154 and even in his prime was always vastly overrated if you ask me

    Thurman is going to be pissing blood for a while after this. The body attack will fold him.

    Defend the belts for gods sake

    I don’t think it’s a move to swerve Bud, it’s not like either of them are rushing to fight each other at 147. Spence’s body just can’t make the weight anymore, he looked crazy drained for Ugas.

    This fight makes absolutely no sense at 154. He's not going to stay there because he won't fight Charlo, so I don't get why this will be a non title fight when he's got 3 of the main trinkets at WW. At least give Thurman a chance to win the belts. Smh

    Any lengths to keep the PBC cult in house

    Thurman cashing out while he can. It’s at 154 so even if he wins , which I highly doubt, he gets non of Spences belt. Beating Thurman at 154 also does nothing for Spence in terms of tune up. If he is staying at 147 then fight at 147. If he plans on going to 154 then fight a true 154 fighter instead of dragging up Thurman.

    Fight just seems like a big ass waste of time to me.

    Jermell moves to 160, Jermall to 168. Sure this was the plan all along. Can't have guys like ESjr fighting the Charlos EVER.... :shakehead:

    Spence is too big too make 147 apparently. This will probably be a permanent move to the jr middleweight division.

    Of this I am certain. Thurman lost three years ago to Pacquiao and has had one fight since then. Spence destroys Thurman who has no business being in any title fight let alone against a top 10 P4P guy.

    Of this I am sort of certain. Spence will not go back down to 147. If there is any chance of a Spence-Crawford fight it will be at 154 or, perhaps, a catchweight of 150 or 151.

    154 is a joke.
    If Spence can't fight at 147, he should be stripped.
