He needs to get back in the ring and stay sharp. The momentum of him knocking out Bundu is wearing off.
Is the Brook fight happening?
What date is he rumored to be fighting?
Spence could do with a warm up fight before he gets brook. His last two opponents have been decent but both were light punchers. Brook is much more powerful than algieri and bundu and they're probably not the right kind of opponents to get him ready for brook.
It appears Brook is once again laser-focused on Khan. The intensity is stronger than ever.
Where does that leave Spence? Nobody knows, whether he's hoping that Brook vacates so he can fight a less dangerous opponent, who knows?
Hearn is going for stalling tactics, which he is good at, and use all his power to get Khan and leave Spence crossing his fingers. The British promoter has connections. And he tricked fighters from other promotional companies before and he will do it again and again.
dude got really good ratings because of the olympics leadin and instead of capitalizing from it, he doesnt have a fight scheduled for already 5 months?
Any update from the Spence camp yet? Why is he so quiet these days? He was all over the social media when he beat Algieri and 41 yr old Bundu. Now he seemed to have disappeared.
I get that he's waiting for Brook, but why the silence? Is he hoping that Brook vacates or what?
Spence trainer was on the BV the other day and said they are waiting for Brook...no step aside...He said Spence fought 2 eliminators and Brook better stop running. The IBF will more than likely enforce it, time is running out for Kell Brook
Khan said he isnt going to face Brook until the end of 2017...which means Brook either has to defend his title against Spence or drop the title and face someone else and be labeled a duck
He even said Brook will never be the same fighter once Spence is done with him....

Brook has to fight Spence or else hand over money or his belt. End of story.
To put it crassly, Brook has to sh*t or get off the pot.
You're not getting it. Brook is not making any decision today or tomorrow. He will be fine with or without Spence. He's taking his time. Meanwhile, Spence's momentum is in jeopardy. Your idol is going to need a tuneup fight by the time Brook makes a decision.
I'd love to see this kid get in top condition then go to England!
He could fight Khan and 4 weeks later fight Brooks!
He could stop both and raise his value as a ppv prospect.
Then bring on the Porters, Thurmans and Garcia's in the States.
This kid is fun to watch.

Isn't Khan a Haymon fighter too? :thinking:
Spence will be told what to do as he has absolutely nothing to draw with and no one knows who he is.

This is the one thing that absolutely kills me about boxing.
Here we have this young exciting kid coming off two great KO victories and he's inactive since August.
He should have fought in December. A lesser known opponent on a small PBC undercard to keep him active, keep him in people's memory and keep that KO streak going.
Inactivity runs rampant these days. It's probably fine for semi-retired fighters, but we're talking about young fighters in their primes. It's terrible.
Naw, Spence won't wait for Brook vs Khan. He'll fight Brook or he'll fight for the belt that Brook hands over.
Unless Brook reaches far enough into Eddie Hearn's pockets to pay him very sizeable step aside fee.

Fighters taking long layoff is no longer nothing new in this sport. Yes, Spence will likely be seen in the ring again 8-9 months from his last fight, either assuming Brook fights him or not.
Fans don't want to hear long layoff excuses why they lost or performed badly.
I suspect he knows but he likes to complain about certain Haymon fighters more than others for reasons easily seen. Just check the post below.
Of course, this is the same dude that made the post about Danny being inactive then played stupid when people pointed out he had the same number of fights Canelo had since he left SHO to sign with HBO, a fighter he said was active.
LMAO rekt..

Spence will most likely be told what to do, which is either fight someone else or wait for Brook vs Khan to be done. And he will do it, like a good boy.
