It wasn't "official" a month ago. Rumors aren't concrete info to me. What are your thoughts about this fight though? Good match or what?
To me, it's fine. Bundu is old as heck, but he was already old when Thurman fought'em and that was ok with people. Good experience for Errol Spence to keep building up his resume. The kid is doing what he's suppose to, keep winning fights in a dominating fashion. Hope his big shot comes late 2016 or early 2017.Comment

Its a 50/50 fight imo, maybe 6040 in favor of Bundu, dont sleep on Bundu or he might lay the Boom Boom down on you. On the other hand if Spence manages to get by Bundu, I will definitely be on his bandwagon, quarter final olympian, a Floyd Mayweather recommendation, a win over Algeri, then a Boom Boom Bundu win? Damn, future ATG credentials, he should call out Floyd after this win if he manages to get by, thats a BIG IF though!Comment

It's a good test for sure. I believe in his skills. So we'll see what happens. Bundu ain't no slouch. Tough and awkward with experience. If Spence manages to KO or stop Bundu? Will Bundu's old age be used as an excuse? I hope not.Its a 50/50 fight imo, maybe 6040 in favor of Bundu, dont sleep on Bundu or he might lay the Boom Boom down on you.

Its a nothing fight for a mandatory position. Would have rather seen Spence vs a more known name guy than Bundu & just given the mandatory spot when like 5 guys or whatever passed on the fight. The only interesting question for this fight is can Spence stop Bundu or will Bundu last all 12.
Along the lines of so many guys passing on Spence I wouldn't hate seeing guys stripped of their ranking for 6mos(?) or some period of time after declining a eliminator like this. Lets f#cking fight towards a title or lets get your ass completely out of the way. Granted the multiple titles make this more complicated an issue than if there was just one title, but wtf with guys turning down a potential title opportunity after a W. And this ain't even nothing new cuz "Spence scary" its fairly common that they gotta go far down the rankings to match up 2 guys for an eliminator fight which is sorta nuts. Although it does prove that titles are less valuable than they have ever been.Comment
