tbf to him, Thurman has openly ducked him, Garcia dont want it either and there is no one else of note in the division BUT surely there could have been someone better that at the weight than this nobody

Remember this the same guy that fought pensioner Leonardo Bungu and glass chinned weakling Peterson....

What happened to Ugas????

Spence took the easier fight like he always does.

He talks about names to stay relevant. But stays fighting bums....





Hey fanboy was Peterson a mandatory?
Was that 47 year old midget a mandatory? (Leonardo Bungu)

Spence could of fought Cotto than Ugas....
Instead its ****ing Peterson and Oncamapopo!!!!

Spence always takes he easy option...

Stop being a pleb.....

Actually Bundu was an eliminator because Ponomorev ducked out. We all know the Cotto situation so what's your point here?

Interesting fight. A rather easy fight for Spence. I forgot how the IBF works from rankings 1-3. Number 1 is usually vacant for the title defense vs challenger correct? I'm confused why 1-2 are currently empty and Ocampo #3.

More interestingly, Ocampo is Spence's 5th Mexican opponent to date. It turns out that Granados and DeMarco are ranked 1-2 respectfully, whom are both PBC, and are more known than Ocampo. Both Granados and DeMarco have not fought since Oct. of last year. Not that Granados and Demarco are threats, maybe, but it would be more consistent had PBC chosen these more known names than Ocampo.

So can someone explain Ocampo's #3 ranking as a mando?

Mando. Hasn't beaten anyone of note. Somehow gets ranked #1. In way, way over his head.

He's not ranked #1. He's ranked #3. He agreed to fight #4 in an eliminator (#1 & #2 are vacant), but #4 ended up pulling out.

Which is how he lucked into a title shot despite being #3.

In the IBF, you can only be ranked #1 or #2 if you win an eliminator.

Ocampo is #3 and agreed to fight #4 in an eliminator to earn a title shot. #4 ended up pulling out of the fight. So when the mandatory came due, Ocampo was the highest ranked available contender, despite only being #3.

IBF don't mess around with mandatory getting their opportunity. Get this one out the way and get something big for the winter

Jesus Christ can people stop with the "Thurman is ducking Spence" bull ****. The guy fought Porter and Garcia and got hurt and hasn't fought since. You want the mfer to come back and fight Errol Spence his first fight back in action? Of course you do, because you have no common sense. They'll fight after Thurman ****s out a couple comeback fights and feels healthy.
