Good for Crawford.

Forget Canelo, his hitlist should be:
1. Madrimov (reigning WBA champion)
2. Charlo (reigning Lineal/TBRB/Ring champion, WBA "champion-in-recess")
3. Tszyu vs Ortiz winner (will be WBA "interim" champion)
4. Spence vs Fundora winner (WBC champion), or if they duck him again, Murtazaliev (IBF champion)
5. Whomever is left between Spence/Fundora, Murtazaliev, or Bohachuk (current WBC interim champion)

Good for everyone here. Fundora…. Who cares about a belt? You can stop paying sanction fees, you can pick up a belt anywhere cuz they hand them out like candy, you get to fight what some might say as a more winnable bout, build your profile and make some cash. Fight some bum for a belt next.

Crawford, you get to start claiming how great you are with another belt in another division, and set yourself up for a fight he may actually WANT next. Doubt he’s drooling over Fundora fight.

Spence, you get what you may feel as a more winnable fight. Get that career back on track. The end.

Last but not least, if I was a fighter, and ANY belt organization threatened to take a belt I just won via victory in the ring, based on some sort of technicality (unless it is legit - in this case I haven’t dove in enough To know. But I mean like Usyk and Crawford, and Charlo, and these guys getting stripped the minute they step into a fight or the minute they win a fight, it’s RIDICULOUS!), I would make sure I NEVER respected that organization again. If I won their belt later in my career, I’d drop that belt in the ring and announce it in my post fight speech. They let some fighters hold on to belts for an eternity. But some guys literally win a fight and are stripped almost immediately. Nothing more dumb than that)

Spence's plan to take cuts in line falls through. I doubt he wants Fundora unless it's for a belt

Spence is fighting Fundora for the WBC belt. Fundora is dropping the WBO belt. Fundora had two belts, he's dropping one to duck Crawford but defending the other against Spence.

Spence's plan is still intact. Nobody gives a sheet about the WBO. Big time PPV in Dallas for the Wbc is worth it! Haymon for the win. SWISH!!!!

these ABC's are so ***ing ******.


OK so they are saying that fundura must fight crawford NEXT , whom:

1. never fought at 154
2. already has a fighting in August, which who knows if he wins or looses yet its in the future
3. being he has a fight in august, that puts him out to March 2025 at the earliest to fight Fundura assuming he wins.



So Fundura is supposed to just sit around on his ass for 9 months until crawford can fight him or he gets stripped? that is ***ing ******.
