Why does Spence get a pass for fighting Ocampo?

[Chuckguy]

Are you kidding me? The dude is a 45-1 underdog. This is the type of fighter he should be fighting as his first fight as a pro.

And don't give me the "everyone is scared" BS

You telling me he couldn't get a Victor Ortiz, Berto, Alexander or the other Peterson brother? Hell even Joshua Clottey or at least a name who used to be good with an actual chance to make Spence look bad.

This is unacceptable. And I'm disgusted

Because he is black. It’s a race thing here unfortunately.

Because he is a mandatory and Spence has to. Stop crying.

stop being an idiot. spence shoulda threw their belt in the garbage can. him and Crawford are a disgrace and they will never fight each other only fight bums or old ex champs

[nacho daddy]

this fight was ordered by the ibf. He would get strupped for not fighting his mandatory and we have no idea if those guys would even fight spence. We know porter and garcia are fighting each other as well, so....

phuck the ibf

Who should he fight instead

[Rip Chudd]

They should have gone down the list then and made him face Ugas or something

I wish that would of happened actually. Ugas would of beaten Ocampo and we'd be getting a fight with him and Spence instead

I remember Brook being crucified for his opponents, even though they were also mandatories.

The fact is, IBF are ruthless with their mandatory obligations, you have to fight whoever they say or get stripped. It would be good thing but the opponents are often poor. That isn't the champs fault though.

WBC on the other hand let the likes of Stevenson go about 4 years without a mandatory and let people like Arreola get a shot, or Stiverne who had fought 1 time in 2 years since losing a title, which was a life and death fight with journeyman Rossy.

Who has a better resume at welterweight? Spence or Brook?

You also seem to forget Brook got so much **** beacause he pulled out of some better fights

Thats how he ended up fighting Bundu for the eliminator. If Ocampo passed then he woulda fought Ugas. But Ugas is fighting tonight so if he can't get the Porter-Garcia winner next he'll fight Ugas

yeah, see the ggg wade thread i just bumped. such a ****ing sad bunch of posters on here lol, talk about a double standard.

[Ray*]

WTF! Am many threads are we going to get of this same shit, he is fighting his mandatory, get them out of the way. Same way GGG shot Wade out of the way. Then off to the next big names.

It is his mandatory. Maybe he wants to follow the rules and keep his title. Did you ever think of that before you started trashing the world's best and most fearless welterweight? He is a 100 to 1 favorite because he is so good not because Ocampo is so bad. Ocampo is an undefeated young boxer. Ortiz, Berto and Alexander are washed up unrated losers. Clottey hasn't fought in years and is probably retired. Why in hell would he fight any of them? You should be disgusted with yourself because you don't know what you are talking about.
