[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

On Wednesday in Brooklyn, New York - unbeaten IBF welterweight world champion Errol Spence Jr. and former champion Lamont Peterson went face-to-face for the first time to discuss their world title showdown headlining action on Saturday, January 20 live on Showtime. Spence (22-0, 19 KOs) makes the first defense of the title he captured back in May when he traveled to Sheffield to stop Kell Brook before a hostile crowd.

2017 definitely goes to Showtime and it's not even close... I am looking forward to seeing Spence back in the ring... I will be in the building. Hopefully, the undercard is solid as well...

I know there were strings attached, but he was offered the Cotto fight. You can't really pretend people are avoiding him when he was presented with a very winnable fight against a big name. I know, politics, etc....all the same, that's the type of fight that would get him some notice. Instead, he'll fight Peterson and then maybe a mandatory towards the end of next year. Maybe Thurman sometime in 2019 if One Time doesn't injure himself again. I don't know...these guys careers move so slow.

I like Spence. Self manages. Goes off of numbers other fighters received and gets them! Shows what boxers can do without all of the suits and red tape.

Showtime and PBC not making the big fights people want. Hope Dana White fixes boxing because El Gaymon couldn't.

Who needs a fight against an ageing Cotto "with strings attached".
I bet those "strings" included signing over his life, his kids, his pets etc etc etc.

I guess Mikey Garcia did not like those "strings"either when he had discussions about the Cotto fight.

Spence and Crawford will have to eventually fight because that's a real superfight. Both guys beat the Thurmans and on down.

Thurman will have no choice in 2018
