Comments Thread For: Spence Looking Forward To New Challenges At 154 Pounds: "It'll Be Strap Season All Over Again"

[Gary Coleman]

I'm super curious to see how Spence's style translates at 154. I know he's sparred Mell forever but Mell isn't exactly a physical fighter. I want to see how he deals with a Castaņo or I would love to see him versus Lubin.

I imagine he'd alter his style to more of what we saw him do vs Mikey.

Not good Spence talking bout strap season at154 when having his most important fight at ww ,Bud aint someone you should be looking past to.

I can see, if Spence wins, he will want a rematch at 154 for no belts. i don`t think Crawford will agree with that. I think rematch must be for all the belts at 147.

[BlackRobb]

Coward weight bully should have turned pro at 154, not 147.

All this means is that Charlo will be giving up his belts at 154 so he won't have to fight Spence.

I expect him to if he beats Canelo.

He likely only has to give up the WBO. I doubt the WBC or WBA strips him. I wonder what the IBF does.

If Spence wins, he and Charlo post Canelo is the biggest money fight for PBC.

Sorry mate, no chance Charlo beats Canelo. Canelo will murder both Charlos and Spence, if he fights all of them. And I am Canelo hater saying this.

Canelo is too strong.

I don't see him beating Charlo, but I suspect he won't be going back to 154, if he does it may be for one fight against Tszyu and then he drops the belts and goes to 160. Lots of weak belt holders at 160 right now so it is ripe for the taking. Maybe he'll finally fight Lara after all.

I don think JMW Charlo beats him. MW Charlo has been off the shelf too long for me to pick him either.


I believe both Spence and Crawford would at 164 but not 168. Strong yes. Not fast enough.

Spence looks like he is pretty gaunt and unhealthy and he keeps talking about 154. Bud looks like he 25 and feeling great.

Writing is kind of on the wall of what this fight will be. Spence wins first few rounds. Bud starts catching him and by 8 or 9, Spence is hurt and fight is stopped.

Spence says post fight that the weight cut was too much, he should have had a tune up, takes his hat off to Bud, pockets his millions and moves to 154.

I think he fights Spence for sure.Crawford if he wins likely stays with PBC. He gets fights too.

Yeah 160 is not a top division anymore.
