    Yeah, # 2 is now vacant for some reason. Maybe they slide some one in ahead of Horn and Berto idk...maybe Peterson or Bradley would be awesome.... But that won't happen...

      I hope a fight with Ponomarev can be made, that's a legit match up. I got Spence winning that one but he would at least have to fight for it.
      Isn't ponomarev the tr guy that turned down the fight with Spence and was replaced with bundu? He may want the fight but Bob don't

        Peterson can't punch. Spence would walk through Peterson.

          Bundu is better than Andre Berto so I hope they can get a better opponent than Berto there is just no way Berto see's 12 rounds with Spence it would be a brutal swollen up eye all over again TKO or perhaps a brutal KO Berto is just tailor made for this guy.

          I'd love to see Terence Crawford move away from 140lbs and throw a challenge out to Spence but doubt he'd have the balls to fight somone as good as that he's content picking on smaller guys who are slow plodders.

            I have a feeling Spence's next 2 fights are gonna be Berto & Porter. Those 3 will all fight each other.
            Porter is my boi, but he should avoid Soence like the plague. Only shot he'd have is if he bum rushes Spence and tries to crack his chin early

              Apparently he had some kind of hand injury, I'm not sure how true that is, but tbh Abel Sanchez has never seemed too keen on that fight whenever asked about it.

                OH come on, Crawford just beat the recognized #2 guy in his divison who was bigger than him... He's just that much better then the guy that he made him look like sht...

                  It's a good stay busy fight for him. Then he can fight Porter on the undercard of Garcia-Thurman next year. Then face the winner later that year. It's the only plan that could save PBC if the reports about money loss are correct.
