    Why is Spence vs Thurman at 154

    If the reports are true why is it at 154? This seems like a massive cherry pick move by Errol Spence

        Not buying it. He told Crawford along with Bob Arum, why would I fight you when I can fight the easy fights?

        Crawford Ortiz Ennis Stanley (hope he lawyers up and forces the WBA to strip Spence since he is ducking undisputed which allows him and Ortiz to fight for the belt) > current washed up version of the flute player.

          Spence is a scam, the sooner he's out the better boxing will be.

            Spencer's moving up to 154 and ducking Crawford, that's why.

              That is a clearly ducking move by Spence, if that is true.

              Thurman is like WBC mandatory for Spence at 147. A little strange, but ok.

              But, if they fight at 154, that means that this fight is clearly a voluntary move by Spence, which means he clearly ducks all tough opponents he could fight at 147.

                A few reason...
                1. Spence wasnt in shape.
                2. Al n Co. Knew they were jivin Crawford.
                3. Spence has a boss, and was told to fight Keef next.
                4. Al slipped some rolled up cash into Gordo and Gilbertitos culos in order for them to ok this fight taking place at 154.

                  I just think Spence is moving up to 154 and is using Keith to test the waters fighting at a higher weight. It works because Keith is a good fighter, he's with PBC, he's a big name and is a calculated risk. Win or lose Keith will still be able to fight for that WBC belt once Spence moves up to 154.

                  Not great for the prospects of a future fight with Crawford for all the marbles at 147lbs, but I think that's why they're fighting at a catchweight.
