Boxing: Errol Spence vs Keith Thurman

[Questat]

This one is a better fight for Spence, hopefully he is not thinking that he can easily beat Thurman because I'm sure he is wrong since Thurman is a tough challenger. I like Thurman here to win, I'm sure the odds will be very attractive, though I think he will only be a slight underdog but I'm hoping bookies will put him as heavy underdog just for better odds.

I also like Thurman getting an upset win so the Crawford- Spence will push because now Spence will be the one to go after Crawford instead of the other way around, Spence right now thinks he is the A fighter between the two of them so if Thurman wins the level is even, but this is wishful thinking as we all know Spence is a superior fighter than Thurman, the reality is both Crawford and Spence will eventually win and history will repeat itself between the two and they will dare one another to sign the deal.

The fight you are expecting is not going to happen if Spence will lose this fight. Crawford will just seek a better opponent and that is not him, maybe a Thurman fight will be witnessed if Thurman will win here, so let's hope that it will happen. At least this fight is not 100% one sided, we have boxing fans who still believe that Thurman can still be a champion.

I also doubt Thurman will win against Spence. He'd been ducking to fight Spence for years asking an incredible pay. He is in decline for years but the fight may last 12 rounds since he has a good tank. Somehow he was given a shot after defeating Barios.

Crawford vs Spence is not happening, Crawford is now on a different network, and negotiation is off.

Well, let's just see in the actual fight. I know most of us to believe that Spence will win but I would love to join the minority who believes that Thurman can win via upset here. I tried to check on the betting odds to know how the bookies sees this fight but it seems no sportsbook had an odds on this yet.

Basing on the votes, yeah, I think many of us believed that Spence will win this one, myself thinks that he could be the first one to really knock him out for good.

Thurman is not the same after Pacquiao bet him, and then he fight Barrios after that, Barrios is not a 147 lbs contender, so Thurman took the easy route and then try to say that he is back in form.

The odds for sure will favor Spence here, so we have to wait what will be the official odds from our favorite sports bookies.

Errol Spence is an incredibly dangerous opponent in a boxing match. 

He is left-handed, left-handed is always a very uncomfortable opponent.  Errol has amazing striking technique.  In the first rounds, he skillfully exhausts the enemy, and then delivers a decisive blow. 

He is an active social media user and I follow him on Instagram.  I consider him an outstanding boxer.

I think he will win this fight.

I think he will win this fight.

I also think the same that Spence will weaken Thurman quickly and take Thurman down in the second half of the fight, and that too if he doesn't catch Thurman early.
Thurman is also a very talented and fast boxer but that was before he was defeated by Manny Pacquiao in his last fight and after that he didn't fight anymore, looks like he couldn't beat Spence who is stronger and faster than Thurman.
Spence has a way of attacking that keeps opponents on the defensive and doesn't give them much opportunity to attack.

Thurman is known to be very weak in his body, and for sure Spence will go at his body at the beginning of the round, he will not be head hunting in the first half. And when Thurman is soften up, perhaps that will be the time he will go on the head to confused Thurman and maybe score a late stoppage.

Keith is inactive, and he chooses to be a boxing analyst and I think he will not be 100% in this fight. Yes, he won against Barrios, I don't consider though that win a good one in his resume. It's simply a cherry pick fight for him and it that fight, he was caught several times by Barrios and the good thing is that Barrios doesn't have power in 147 lbs.

To my knowledge, Keith Thurman has never lost a fight after receiving a powerful knockout punch.  However, this time, this unpleasant event may happen to him.  

His boxing nickname is "One Time".  Well... Maybe this time he'll experience it for himself...

Keith Thurman is right-handed.  His striking hand is his right hand.  It is always difficult for a right-handed boxer to fight a left-handed boxer.  I think now Keith Thurman is already training with a left-handed partner to show himself worthy in the upcoming fight.  

However, in my opinion, he is destined to lose this fight.

Look at the voting result, seems like we have a very exciting voting result here as there's no heavy favorite to win based on the pulse of the posters. I'm thinking, maybe I should bet on the underdog, I'm pretty sure Thurman would not go down in this fight, so I predict it will be Thurman winning via decision.

[aioc]

I have Spence beating Thurman by a knockout to impress Crawford because I'm sure Crawford will beat Avanesyan by knockout to despise Spence, so Spence should prepare for this fight and knock out Thurman to prove to the boxing community and to Crawford as well that he is an A1 fighter, both fighters are expected to come and knock out their respective opponents and after this fight, the boxing community will see another cycle of thrash talking between the two  .

Thurman is trying to bring back that hype to his name, after that lost with Pacquiao he's now getting these opportunities to fight with the current champion, though Spence got that speed and skill sets that might bring him in a tough situation but the chance like you said is still equal for both fighters.

We can only speculate, but concluding the outcome is really hard to tell. It's interesting that both are still in their prime and can adjust to the way their opponent will execute their fighting style.

Personally, I'll take the other side, Spence, via a decision.

His comeback was impressive, so he thinks he is ready. The good thing about Thurman is that despite his lose to Pacman but he still did not losses his passion for boxing, actually, the fight with Pacman was quite close, so Thurman has not lost his morale as he thinks he is still in his prime.

This one is going to be a good fight for sure since Thurman is always been exciting to fight.

[lionheart78]

My personal take. This fight will happen since this is a big fight and should be very easy for Spence. Spence should be able to stop this past-prime version of Thurman or at least win an easy unanimous decision if he wants to stay safe.

I think that Thurman is too young to get past his prime.  He is only 33 years old, the only problem was that he has gone idle for too long after he lost to Pacquiao but he has a dominating performance in his recent fight against Mario Thomas Barrios  so I think Thurman is still in his prime.  It would be interesting to see Spence and Thurman fight it out in the ring.  Of course, Spence probably has the advantage but we never know until these two great boxer clash in the ring.  Hopefully, both camp will agree to seal the contract and has the schedule of the fight.   Would it be a good move for Spence?  I don't know base on record it would be wise of Spence to have a deal with Eimantas Stanionis.

Keith Thurman        | 32 Fights | 30 wins/22 KO |1 loss | 1 no contest |
Eimantas Stanionis  | 15 fights  | 14 wins/9 KO | 0 loss |1 no contest |
Jaron Ennis             | 30 fights | 29 wins/27 KO | 0 loss |1 no contest|

I agree between the Crawford - Avanesyan and Spence Crawford match I prefer the latter both are popular and tough fighters and Thurman is a former world champion and he is very hungry for a come back, we already know going to win between Spence and Avanesyan, but with Thurman, he  has a good chance to pull an upset and jeopardize the Crawford - Spence unification bout,
this fight is more exciting than all the previous Spence fights, and he will be a better-prepared fighter if he and Crawford win their respective fights and decide to go on a unification.

[Johnyz]

This is not yet official but if Spence won't take this big easy fight, he will be stripped of his WBC belt and he might face either WBA or IBF mandatories the young and undefeated Stanionis or Boots. Spence can also move up to 154 and say goodbye to a possible undisputed fight against Crawford.

My personal take. This fight will happen since this is a big fight and should be very easy for Spence. Spence should be able to stop this past-prime version of Thurman or at least win an easy unanimous decision if he wants to stay safe.

Thurman is still a good fighter so better for Spence not to take this easily because this match will never be so easy for him. Better for him to accept the fight and stay on this level and protect his belt, or else he will have to go for other option.

My personal take on this, this will be an exciting match between two great fighter, I'm actually looking forward to see Thurman back in action after his surgery, this can be a good opportunity for both boxer.

The unification fight between Crawford and Spence is not going to happen anytime soon, not after their respective fight if they will win because both are greedy and thinks most for themselves and not for the satisfaction of the fans.I really hope to see an upset here because if Thurman will win, I'm pretty sure he will not be afraid of fighting Crawford.

Spence has a way of attacking that keeps opponents on the defensive and doesn't give them much opportunity to attack.

Yes, I think so too, Spence is superior to Thurman in my opinion.
But while Thurman may not be at his best due to being inactive for a long time, but he's also a smart fighter and still has strength.
We can only speculate, all that we can only see if they are really in the ring.
If Thurman prepares well I think he might still be a threat to Spence.

[cabron]

The odds for sure will favor Spence here, so we have to wait what will be the official odds from our favorite sports bookies.

Spence defended his throne from challengers who are more skilled than Thurman but failed.

One reason they say that Thurman could win is if he turns the fight into a brawl match which might disrupt Spence at a close distance. Establishing a close distance from Spence is not easy, Spence is also a body puncher which is what he'd do. Once Thurman's team sees he's failing to hit or gassed out, the team will decide to stop the fight.

[stadus]

It was said that Stanionis and Ennis will be among the undercard, they will definitely be watching who deserves to fight Spence when he wins against Thurman.

Terrence is to fight Avanesyan by Dec this year. You can view this as a tuneup fight but the organization may also want to confirm if Terrence still has the punching power to defeat Spence. If it's the case, we'll not see Spence vs Crawford until he's near 40.

Oh, yeah? Then that's much better because both Ennis and Spence's side will see what they're made of and considering Ennis on paper and performance, he's the type of boxer that shouldn't be messed around because I heard he's touted as the next Terence Crawford and I don't doubt that at all. As for this fight, Spence should have no problem in defeating Thurman, not underestimating him but we already saw Thurman's limit. Hopefully we could see a much more interesting fight in welterweight next.

[Jawhead999]

Yes, I think so too, Spence is superior to Thurman in my opinion.
But while Thurman may not be at his best due to being inactive for a long time, but he's also a smart fighter and still has strength.
We can only speculate, all that we can only see if they are really in the ring.
If Thurman prepares well I think he might still be a threat to Spence.

He have recent fight against Mario Barrios on Feb 5, 2022, which I think he's not inactive for a long time. I don't think Thurman prime is already passed, his performance is still same and he's currently still 33 years old. Well at least Spence will fight against better boxer than Crawford who will fight Avanesyan, which everyone already know Crawford will win via KO again.

Thurman wouldn't be easy to get Knocked Out, he may lose via unanimous decision, the best he may win via split decision.

[Ziskinberg]

This one is a better fight for Spence, hopefully he is not thinking that he can easily beat Thurman because I'm sure he is wrong since Thurman is a tough challenger. I like Thurman here to win, I'm sure the odds will be very attractive, though I think he will only be a slight underdog but I'm hoping bookies will put him as heavy underdog just for better odds.

I also like Thurman getting an upset win so the Crawford- Spence will push because now Spence will be the one to go after Crawford instead of the other way around, Spence right now thinks he is the A fighter between the two of them so if Thurman wins the level is even, but this is wishful thinking as we all know Spence is a superior fighter than Thurman, the reality is both Crawford and Spence will eventually win and history will repeat itself between the two and they will dare one another to sign the deal.

The fight you are expecting is not going to happen if Spence will lose this fight. Crawford will just seek a better opponent and that is not him, maybe a Thurman fight will be witnessed if Thurman will win here, so let's hope that it will happen. At least this fight is not 100% one sided, we have boxing fans who still believe that Thurman can still be a champion.

I also doubt Thurman will win against Spence. He'd been ducking to fight Spence for years asking an incredible pay. He is in decline for years but the fight may last 12 rounds since he has a good tank. Somehow he was given a shot after defeating Barios.

Crawford vs Spence is not happening, Crawford is now on a different network, and negotiation is off.

Well, let's just see in the actual fight. I know most of us to believe that Spence will win but I would love to join the minority who believes that Thurman can win via upset here. I tried to check on the betting odds to know how the bookies sees this fight but it seems no sportsbook had an odds on this yet.

There's no odds yet and maybe it's because the Thurman-Spence fight is still under finalization like the date and place because the last update was this was an order by the WBC. Aside from that, Al Haymon and Spence are still discussing some things because it was said that Spence is not giving Thurman a chance to have his shot on Spence's 3 titles and will only offer the WBC belt. We will likely hear some final details soon.

This is a good matchup against Spence because the bleeding fight between spence and Crawford will not come for this time then it's a good option for the team since to fight against thurman as we all know how thurman good in terms of his fighting skills and technique so we can see a close fight from thesee two fighter in the final date fight. And in this fight because there's no odds I think spence will be the favorite here.
