Favorite? He shouldn't be getting a title shot at all lol! we agree on that much at least lol
Still not convinced it happens though, he does't have a trainer, he's just sitting at home.
I think it is already scheduled for early 2025 and will happen, but with the lack of dedication and preparation, coming off a loss and coming up at a division where big punchers like Ortiz Jr and Crawford quite struggled in their first bouts makes me skeptical.
A southpaw with a definitive reach advantage that can withstand more punishment than Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter or Yordenis Ugas is going to be a nightmare. He is basically bean pole whose difficult to hurt to the body or at least never has been so far though not for the lack of trying, and I don't see Spence catching him like heavy handed counter puncher like Brian Mendoza, who he himself was losing the match 5-2 or 6-1.
Tim Tszyu was the one who beat him more clearly, until the cut, the win decision was debatable but at least it displayed that Sebastian's chin is no liability, Mendoza just had the right timing and ability to pull it off.
Spence is overall more skilled, but yeah he shouldn't be the favorite in this bout, specially considering his current circumstances he is coming from.
Honestly I don't think deserves a immediate title shot after coming of a loss from another weight class.

He's been off feeling sorry for himself and licking his wounds the last 2 years. He doesn't even have a trainer.

He'll come back for sure for financial reasons. He's been railing about the cost of sanctioning fees, then we later found he's not happy with the cost of training expenses. Which resulted in his very public squabble with James which has been going on for years as people found out also.
It will be quite interesting considering that Spence could be rejuvenated and perform better.
But it could be quite a difficult fight if someone review's Fundora's fights prior Tszyu. Spence will still be fighting a physically bigger opponent.
Fundora is a very rangy in-figther that's won't let Spence pull away with his reach, will match his work rate and can catch him coming in with his uppercuts like Lubin.
He is uncomfortable fighting big punchers, but not so sure with other pressure fighters. (Not that Errol is featherfisted) He might be more difficult than Yordenis Ugas.

It does? How so? Fundora was ktfo then beaten up by Tim before that elbow. Had the corrupt ref/medical team not let it keep going, Tim would've won.
Spence DOESNT deserve a title fight, and neither dod Fundora for that matter. Corruption at its finest
Beating the generally recognised #2 guy at 154 would obviously answer a lot questions about how much Spence has left.
Tim was unlucky but it’s a fight, not a tickling contest, sh** like that happens, it wasn’t intentional, it is what it is.
Love it, and I like it a lot more than Crawford because Crawford would be the obvious favorite. I love watching Fundora. He's absolutely beatable if Spence is at top form, but most people seem to think Spence is cooked.
All I want is an entertaining fight without a 100% obvious winner. And this fight delivers that. Spence is getting -225, Fundora +178.
I think it’s a good fight. A lot of questions about Spence following the Crawford loss. A win over Fundora answers a lot of those questions.

Wack af! Fundora getting a title fight after getting ktfo was weak af and a pbc bribe to that belt org. Then getting beaten up by Tim only to elbow him and the corrupt ref/dr. Letting it continue was bulls.hit.
Dont even get me atarted with Spence....shi.t, after getting beaten from pillar to post, getting a title shot after that is the same bs! I'm not interested 1 bit in the weak fight. Hope they ko eachother
