Spence-Peterson: Final Predictions

I'm guessing that nobody gives Lamont a chance.... and neither do I. So I guess it's more of question of, which round will Spence stop him? Or will Lamont see the distance?

I think we're looking at a slightly longer version of Spence-Algeri. Peterson is gonna get mauled.

Spence in 6.

After watching the fight, Uma Thurman suffers another "injury" and says he'll fight Spence in 2021.

 

Spence should ko him.

You should really stop with that running thurman thing. Guy has an impeccable resume so far

 

I agree he does have a good CV but he is clearly avoiding Spence.

 

REED's Typically Hesitant to Go the "Avoiding/Ducking" Route, but when a Motherfucker Says in 2017 he'll Fight What's Considered his Most Dangerous Foe in 2019, there's Really No Other Appropriate Way to Put It...






REED

 

Spence ENDS Peterson in 6 or 7 Spirited, Yet Mostly 1-Sided Rounds...

w/the Exception of Experience, Spence has EVERY Other Box Checked in His Favor...






REED

 

yeah, but doesn't thurman comes off a pretty serious injury?

 

I read spence is getting 4 or 5 mill for this sham of a fight vs an inactive peterson

 

DAMN! Really????

I would have thought like 1.5 or 2 mil.

Fighters really do get paid with Haymon.

 

DeLa Offered him 3.5mil for the Cotto Fight, But Golden Boy Would've Had Options on Future Fights...

Then PBC Reported Spence Would Make that Same Amount for his Next Fight Anyways...

REED Hadnt Heard 4-5mil, but Good for EJ if That's the Case...





REED

 

He's Fighting in March Though....Realistically, Thurman Could Fight 3 Times in 2018...






REED

 

If true, it would explain why we rarely get to see meaningful match ups on PBC. Why fight a killer when you can fight a scrub and make basically the same amount of $$$.

 

It doesn't take that long to recover from bone spurs.

That said, Spence stops Peterson mid to late. It's somewhat competitive early but it's gonna turn ugly and one sided.

 

yeah, but expecting a guy to face a gigantic threat without a few tune ups after a serious injury is unrealistic to say the least. If by the end of the year/start of 2019, Thurman still doesn't seems willing to face Spence, i'll be the first to call him a coward. But right now, he gets the benefit of the doubt

 

Thurmans injury is serious! Not some minor thing like the two broke bones in Brooks face

 

I'm not saying that Thurmain is ruined by this injury. But yes an elbow injury is much more serious than a slight orbital bone fracture for a boxer

 

A Tune-Up and Mandatory is Fine, But If That 3rd Fight ISN'T Spence, Thurman's Bullshitting the Boxing Public....








REED

 

Thurman's resume being solid doesn't mean he can't be avoiding Spence. He CLEARLY is.

The fact that he's more interested in fighting Porter again than fighting Spence tells you everything you need to know.

It's not as if the Porter rematch is a bigger fight.

Spence-Thurman would be a HUGE fight in Barclays. The area would be completely sold out, and the fight would generate excellent ratings on Showtime or NBC.

Thurman simply isn't confident in beating Spence.

 

LOOKS That Way...

The RE w/Porter is SAFER and Will Net Some Nice Coin for Thurman...

REED Doesn't Think Keith Thurman's AFRAID of Errol Spence, but he's Clearly CONCERNED w/What a Loss to Spence Would Do to his Marketability and Paydays...









REED

 

I think Spence would rather fight Thurman at AT&T Stadium.

 

Jerry World Could NEVER Match What 4-5 Vegas Venues Would Be Willing to Pay in the Form of Site Fees, for a Bout of THAT Magnitude...

Not to Mention the Effect on GAMBLING, for a Fight That Big...There's ZERO Casinos in Dallas/Ft. Worth...






REED

 

He's basically hoping that Spence outgrows 147 pounds, hoping he can catch Spence slipping and drained.

In all honesty, I suspect Thurman would rather NOT fight Spence at the end of the day. His interest in safer fights like Porter is telling.

 

its not that big of a fight financially. i dont even think it would be in vegas

 

I'm almost positive it would be at Barclays... and I'd be there!

 

Stop being lazy and open your own.

 

agREED...

It'd Be Best as a Nationally Televised Fight, as Thurman-Porter and Thurman-Garcia have Been...

Showtime PPV from Barclay's MAX...






REED

 

I highly doubt it would be on Showtime PPV. Just regular Showtime.

Fuckin HBO would have it on PPV though...

 

It's funny, because if the fight happened last year Spence would have been the B-side. But at this point, Spence is getting more mainstream exposure than Thurman ever has - he was just on ESPN's First Take this week, he was on The Breakfast Club a few months ago, ect...

So by time the fight happens, Spence will both the A-side of the promotion AND the betting favorite.

 

Is that another Hollywood remake/reboot?

 

No. It's the most popular "urban" radio show in the country.

 

This fight is irrelevant. If somehow Spence loses, for me I'll be as shocked as I was to see Tyson stopped by Douglas. I am dying to see him in against Thurman. I give Thurman a better shot than most people here do...but I make Spence the favourite.
