Think Spence gets the decision but wouldn't be shocked with a late stoppage either.
If I was Thurman I would be 100% focussed and have to be on my A game. I would start fast and throw a lot of right hands and counter left hooks to put Spence off his jab. I would tie up Spence inside almost immediately so he can not work to the body.
The second half of the fight I would become more unorthodox and use more movement and punches from unusual angles as Spence becomes more frustrated.
Thurman will have to use his physical strength throughout the fight and win a close, even split decision. Thurman would then be the man of the division and Floyd will have to come out of retirement to face his obvious successor.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
