Some of y’all tripping with the make Thurman/Crawford first and then make Spence/Crawford next rhetoric. No, no, no, no, no. If history has shown us anything it’s that you can’t make huge fights that are contingent on other fights happening smoothly, regularly. There’s too many variables in the sport: injuries, upsets, new-fangled promotional disputes (i.e. Naw, I need more money to fight that dude now), unexpected life events, etc. The fight doesn’t need any additional seasoning or marinating or whatever. It’s already huge. Just make it happen now. Besides that, I have no idea what Thurman has done to warrant a shot at the world title anyways. I really don’t get it. I mean, dude has one win in the last 15 years (I’m exaggerating, but still) over a fukking 140 pounder in Barrios
. Yet, there’s people that feel like he should fight for the title next when you got guys like Stanionis that just beat Butaev in the same damn division
.
Anyways, the Spence/Crawford fight will happen next. I know Spence has no interest in fighting Thurman win or lose, but I think he will move up to 154 after the Crawford fight regardless. And I like Thurman. I’m from fukking FL. Lol. We even live in the same neck of the woods, but nah. Dude hasn’t put no recent work in.
