Me too. I want Thurman to win and at this point Spence needs to show us more to prove he is able to beat that level of opposition. In all honesty if Spence realizes most of his potential, I think he gives us #Thurminators that L. Pains me to say it, but just being real. I wouldn't say that about anyone who I didn't respect the talent as much as I do Spence. Didn't have those thoughts at all vs. Porter or Garcia. I knew Thurman would walk out of the ring victorious.I'm not counting out Thurman against Spence yet.
I'm biased doe
We can thank @Yuzo for bringing up the glove shytMe and @krackdagawd been sayin this too. He does testing for brook all of a sudden dudes body lookinAt the weigh in. All of a sudden his punches can't knock down a welterweight.
Ever since that pic of his gloves I been suspicious of dude. Rosado hinted at it too.

I gotta see what Spence can do against Brook before I pick him against Thurman. We seen what Thurman can do against top guys. We only seen Spence beat up lesser fighters.
I'll say this though, Spence just has one of those styles that can just give everyone problems, but that doesn't mean he can beat everyone.
If Brook doesn't sit down on his shots like in the Porter fight, we still won't know how well Spence can take a good shot from someone with power really trying to hurt him. Thurman cracks everybody hard.
Do you think Brook is going to beat Errol?
Errol going to start his reign at 147.
Hate that I think he beats Thurman.
A Brit getting beaten in front of his home crowd though. You can feel the pain of the crowd through the screen.
i have brook as the favorite over spence..slight favorite only because of the orbital injury and the fact it is his first back from it..spence hasn't beaten anyone to make me put him over brook
This dude just made me a fan. I'm riding with Spence going forward.

Alexander Povetkin's Next Opponent Nearly Locked in For July 1
By Vadim Pushkin
Olympic gold medal winner Alexander Povetkin (30-1, 22 KOs) is moving forward with his planned return on July 1 in Moscow.
Povetkin is under suspension by the World Boxing Council for failing a pre-fight drug test in connection to last December's planned WBC final eliminator with Bermane Stiverne. After the positive test was revealed, the WBC withdrew their sanction of the fight and Stiverne left Russia to head home.
It was the second failed test for Povetkin in 2016, after testing positive for a scheduled May fight with WBC champion Deontay Wilder. Povetkin tested positive for recently banned substance meldonium and the fight was canceled days later.
Povetkin feels ready to enter the ring against anyone.
"I do not care with who I fight with," Povetkin told Azamat Bostanov. "I'm sure my team will pick me a good interesting opponent, with whom we will have a spectacular fight. My job is to train and show good boxing ability. I'm ready to fight against any opponent."
His promoter, Andrei Ryabinsky of World of Boxing, is in talks with several candidates.
"At the present there are no contracts signed with anyone, so I can not say that we picked an opponent for Alexander. We are in negotiations and if all goes well, then in the middle of May we will sign a formal agreement with a potential opponent. We are considering a number of different opponents. With confidence I can say only one thing - Povetkin come out to the ring on July 1, 2017. And against who - I will explain that part later," Ryabinsky said.
Povetkin is appealing the WBC's decision to suspend him. Several other sanctioning bodies, like the IBF, WBA and WBO, have followed the WBC's lead and will not allow the boxer to enter their rankings until he sorts out his issues with the World Boxing Council.

The cheeks on these guys...
Spence is the next big thing TBH, he has the right attitude too.

I definitely think the argument of resumes leans towards Brook and it isn't like Brook is a pushover. He gives everyone a tough fight. So I can't disagree.
This is one of those cases where Errol has a higher ceiling IMO, but unproven. I think he starts to prove it vs. Brook.
Who is the betting favorite?

Spence is the slight favorite but it's as close as a boxing fight can get on betting sites.
Maybe even closer odds than Golovkin vs Canelo

Exclusive: IBF consider Matchroom exception request for Joshua v Klitschko II, await Pulev reply
if the ibf let josh pay pulev step aside money and keep ibf belt also. then I don't see why they don't consider doing the same for Julius indongo to face Crawford instead of lipnets for a complete undisputed unification.
ibf needs to stay consistent...plus they didn't give fury all this leeway either when he had the belts.......
