Comments Thread For: Shawn Porter Has Two Mandatories: Keith Thurman, Andre Berto

[Bossman15]

Lol hearns gonna do his ****ing nut over this.

Porter won a vacant strap.. therefore his first defence should be against the next ranked in the org which is Vargas. Let Berto have his shot if needs be but that should never been made for a second mandatory if they planned on installing the emeritus as a mandatory too.

I can see this whole WBC, Haymon Vs Hearn thing becoming the next juicy soap opera of YouTube over the next 6 months

This is ****** cause Berto should not be getting another shot plus they should of considered Spence, Vargas or Ugas but Porter must not want Spence if so try to get the WBC on board for that fight cause he is in line for that belt plus could feel like he may get knocked out by Spence.

But Spence may actually face Crawford next if he gets no fight but it would be a good look for Porter to defend on the undercard of Wilder vs Fury against Spence Ugas or Thurman if he took that fight

All of this (and why) was explained this morning in another thread...I'm just trying to remember what the thread was for you guys since it explained the entire situation and why.

This should be good news for Porter. He should be able to spark both these guys out. Shawn should thank the WBC for a two fight gift wrap. He already defeated them both before except only one was considered official; Which was the Andre Berto fight

I'm not even sure how they order Porter vs Thurman. Makes no sense how they're trying to make a champ a Mando. If they want him to unify just order Spence please.

The berto ****s just ******ed though. Wbc is becoming worst and worst at this ****.

Spence is actually a titleholder for another sanctioning body; The IBF. He is their 147lbs champion. Therefore, the WBC didn't bother to even consider mentioning him. The other guys mentioned are not titleholders. That's why they were mentioned.

Porter couldn't unify with Spence because he won a vacant title that was not lost in the ring. It was lost due to Keith Thurman's ring inactivity. Once he clears up his mandatory challengers, then he would be considered their real champion and then would be free to unify with Errol Spence, Jr.

Porter already whooped Berto's ass ( I was at that fight) we don't need to see that again. I'd rather just see porter fight jessie Vargas anyway despite the draw while Thurman gets his tune up outta the way.

[Jab jab boom]

Don't worry guys. No chance berto wants to get back in the ring with headbuttmaster flex Shawn porter. Berto will be Danny Garcia bounce back win and porter will fight someone basic like vargas.

Mo money mo money mo money .. the name of the game.

I bet Shawn is not complaining.

I would not be complaining either.

I will tune in if i think a fight is compelling otherwise i wont.

No big deal.

Let the man make some "easy" money before rolling the dice.
